Anti-transgender policies and state legislative initiatives that focus on school bathroom use and hormone use have emerged in recent years. These policies are generally written by and voted on by cisgender people, and as such, it is crucial to understand influences on nonaffirming attitudes toward policies that can impact trans youth. The present study aimed to extend research on transphobic attitudes in general to attitudes toward policies that impact youth undergoing transition. Latent variable covariances and structural equation modeling were used to test the relations between transphobia, genderism, homophobia, need for closure, sexual orientation, social dominance orientation, attitudes toward sexual minorities, beliefs about gender roles, aggression, religious fundamentalism, and contact with sexual and gender minority individuals, as they are related to attitudes toward hormone use and bathroom use for trans youth. Analyses of data from a sample of 248 cisgender adults indicated that genderism and transphobia was associated with attitudes toward gender-affirming hormone use and bathroom use for trans youth; need for closure was associated with gender-affirming attitudes toward bathroom use, but was not associated with hormone use. Sexual orientation was linked to attitudes toward gender-affirming policies, such that nonheterosexual participants had more affirming attitudes toward trans youths' bathroom use, but not hormone use. Implications for future research, advocacy efforts to promote rights for trans youth, and clinical work with trans youth and/or parents/guardians of trans youth are discussed.

近年来，出现了一些针对学校浴室使用和激素使用的反跨性别政策和州立法倡议。这些政策通常由顺性别者撰写并投票通过，因此，了解可能影响跨性别青年的非确认性政策态度的影响因素至关重要。本研究旨在将对跨性别恐惧症态度的研究扩展到影响正在过渡的青年的政策态度上。潜变量协方差和结构方程模型用于测试跨性别恐惧症、性别主义、同性恋恐惧症、封闭需求、性取向、社会主导地位取向、对性少数群体的态度、对性别角色的信念、攻击性、宗教原教旨主义以及与性和性别少数群体个体的接触与他们对跨性别青年使用激素和浴室的态度之间的关系。对 248 名顺性别成年人样本数据的分析表明，性别主义和跨性别恐惧症与对跨性别青年的性别肯定激素使用和浴室使用的态度有关；封闭需求与对浴室使用的性别肯定态度有关，但与激素使用无关。性取向与对性别肯定政策的态度有关，即非异性恋参与者对跨性别青年的浴室使用持更肯定的态度，但对激素使用没有。讨论了对未来研究、倡导促进跨性别青年权利的努力以及与跨性别青年及其/或跨性别青年的父母/监护人的临床工作的影响。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
