The present work tests the association between gender-related support and internalizing symptoms in socially transitioned transgender youth. We examined whether parent-reported family support, peer support, school support, and an objective measure of state-level support were associated with internalizing symptoms in 265 transgender youth, ages 3-15. We also examined whether each form of support moderated the association between gender-related victimization experiences and internalizing symptoms. This work exemplifies that, even among transgender children who are largely supported in their identities, support for a transgender child’s gender identity and expression is associated with greater wellbeing. application/pdf en_US none Clinical psychology Psychology Social Support and Internalizing Psychopathology in Transgender Youth Thesis Restrict to UW for 2 years -- then make Open Access 2022-01-24T19:30:15Z open.access
