Transgender and nonbinary (TNB) people who also identify as black, indigenous, and/or people of color (BIPOC) may experience compounding stress related to their racial and gender minority identities. This case study describes supporting pride, activism, resiliency, and community (SPARC), a brief five-session telemedicine-based process group for TNB BIPOC adolescents and young adults (AYA). Five AYA participated and all attended at least one session. Acceptability and satisfaction were assessed through survey and open-ended feedback. Results suggest that SPARC was acceptable and satisfactory. SPARC may be considered a promising group to provide an affirming and supportive space for TNB BIPOC AYA.
同时认同自己为黑人、原住民和/或有色人种(BIPOC)的跨性别者和非二元性别者(TNB),可能会因其种族和性别少数群体身份而承受更多压力。本案例研究描述了支持骄傲、行动主义、复原力和社区(SPARC),这是一个为TNB BIPOC青少年和青年成年人(AYA)开展的简短的五节基于远程医疗的过程小组。五名AYA参与其中,且都至少参加了一节课。通过调查和开放式反馈评估了可接受性和满意度。结果表明SPARC是可接受且令人满意的。SPARC可能被认为是一个有前景的小组,可为TNB BIPOC AYA提供一个肯定和支持性的空间。
