Gender diverse youth are incredibly resilient but face significant stigma and marginalization. In this article, we argue that in the face of these challenges, researchers must work collaboratively with gender diverse youth and caregivers to identify and address the most important issues affecting them. We use our Navigating Gender Together Project as an example of using community advisory boards in community-engaged research. Although community engagement requires more resources, it overwhelmingly enriches research and increases its relevance for the community. Relevant, evidence-based research is critical in supporting gender diverse youth and their families.
性别多元的青少年具有令人难以置信的适应能力，但却面临着巨大的污名化和边缘化问题。在本文中，我们认为面对这些挑战，研究人员必须与性别多元的青少年及其照顾者合作，以识别和解决影响他们的最重要问题。我们以我们的“共同探索性别”项目为例，说明在社区参与研究中使用社区咨询委员会的情况。虽然社区参与需要更多资源，但它极大地丰富了研究，并提高了研究与社区的相关性。相关的、基于证据的研究对于支持性别多元的青少年及其家庭至关重要。
