Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Research on the daily experiences of transgender and gender diverse (TGD) youth 18 years or younger is limited, making it essential to gain a comprehensive understanding of their internal and external experiences related to gender identity.Aim: This systematic review and qualitative research synthesis fills this research gap by examining the lived experiences and coping of TGD youth, including prepubertal children.Methods: The review was pre-registered according to PROSPERO on the Open Science Framework and followed the ENTREQ reporting guidelines. A Qualitative research synthesis, according to Howell Major and Savin-Baden, was conducted.Results: Seventeen peer-reviewed articles published between 2000 and 2023 fulfilled inclusion criteria and quality assessment. Synthesized themes were: (1) “Navigating gender identity”, with two sub-themes, Meaning-making and Considering visibility (2) “Navigating relations”, with four sub-themes: Longing for belonging, Supportive actions, Lack of safety and Coping inside out (3) “Navigating society with two sub-themes Inclusion and exclusion and Beyond control. Our findings demonstrate that TGD youth view gender identity as fluid and benefit from a supportive environment that facilitates genuine exploration. Coping strategies develop intricately, influenced by multifaceted factors.Discussion: Unlike previous research on the negative effects of minority stress, our review underscores the cumulative impact of subtle daily stressors on TGD youth’s well-being, highlighting the significance of an environment where gender is not a constant concern. By shedding light on these dynamics, this synthesis contributes to a comprehensive understanding of TGD youth’s perspectives for professionals and a broader audience.

Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Our aim for this systematic review is to get an overview of the qualitative research conducted in the rapidly growing field of gender creative children and youth <18 yrs. By using the term “gender creative” all children and youth who do not identify with their gender assigned at birth are included, also those who do not call their gender identities “transgender” or some other term that fits under the transgender umbrella. We also believe the term has positive connotations nonrelated to medical/psychiatric diagnoses.We are interested in qualitative studies focusing on everyday life experiences of children and youth, such as relations with family and friends, experiences from school, free time activities, their health and/or gender affirming care, their feelings of self-worth, body image and coping, related to gender identity as phenomenon. Our systematic review of qualitative studies (Methley, et al., 2014), the article searches and selection process are organized according to the framework of SPIDER (Cooke, Smith & Boothe, 2012) with the following research questions:1. What are the experiences of gender creative children and youth <18 yrs. related to gender identity? 2. How do they cope with these experiences?
