Abstract

Research has documented the negative mental health outcomes that anti-Black racism and cissexism, respectively, have had on Black and trans and gender-diverse (TGD) people during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research, however, has yet to explore the intersectional experiences of Black TGD young adults. Additionally, research has found that activists are often exposed to violence and discrimination. In this study, we aimed to understand how the intersection of anti-Black racism and cissexism has impacted young Black TGD activists' well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic. A community sample of 15 Black TGD young adults participated in semistructured interviews. Thematic analysis revealed five themes and 14 subthemes, including (a) witnessing and experiencing violence (everyday violence, political violence, police violence, and medical violence, (b) motivating and sparking activism, (c) emotional impact (fear and anxiety, symptoms of depression, anger and frustration, and overwhelmed and shocked), (d) coping with violence and COVID-19 pandemic (activism, community connections and support, setting boundaries, self-reflection, positivity and hope, and activities and hobbies), and (e) safety precautions. We provide implications for practitioners working with young Black TGD activists such as engaging in civil disobedience within the bounds of their ethical duties.

研究记录了在新冠肺炎大流行期间，反黑人种族主义和自恋分别对黑人、跨性别和性别多元化（TGD）人群产生的负面心理健康后果。然而，这项研究尚未探索黑人TGD年轻人的交叉经历。此外，研究发现，积极分子经常遭受暴力和歧视。在这项研究中，我们旨在了解在新冠肺炎大流行期间，反黑人种族主义和自恋的交叉如何影响年轻黑人TGD活动家的福祉。一个由15名TGD黑人年轻人组成的社区样本参与了半结构访谈。专题分析揭示了五个主题和14个子主题，包括（a）目睹和经历暴力（日常暴力、政治暴力、警察暴力和医疗暴力），（b）激励和激发激进主义，（c）情感影响（恐惧和焦虑、抑郁症状、愤怒和沮丧以及不知所措和震惊），（d）应对暴力和新冠肺炎大流行（行动主义、社区联系和支持、设定界限、自我反思、积极性和希望、活动和爱好），以及（e）安全预防措施。我们为与年轻黑人TGD活动家合作的从业者提供了启示，例如在他们的道德职责范围内参与公民抗命。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2023 APA，保留所有权利）影响声明在新冠肺炎大流行期间，年轻黑人TGD活动家的跨部门经历以及反黑人种族主义和自恋对该社区福祉的影响知之甚少。目前的研究探讨了在新冠肺炎大流行期间，反黑人种族主义和自恋在15名年轻黑人TGD活动家的社区样本中产生的影响。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2023 APA，保留所有权利）
