Abstract Outness is an inevitable component of lived experience for individuals who identify as LGBTQ+. Relatedly, levels of outness change based on environment, social location, and surrounding influences, and little research exists exploring the construct of outness within same-gender romantic relationships. Through a photovoice methodology, participants engaged with participant-taken photographs depicting their experiences during a structured focus group. Through use of Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis, the researchers distilled themes within the focus group discussion and study artifacts to provide counselors and counselor educators with insight and depth into the role of outness in same-gender romantic relationships.

Abstract The number of Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming (TGNC) individuals who are presenting for counseling is increasing; yet counselors receive little to no exposure to gender-diversity throughout their education and training. TGNC individuals have reported receiving discriminatory experiences within therapy and ineffectual outcomes. Consistent with social-justice practice, knowledge of how clients understand themselves is necessary to enhance the outcomes of counseling. A key resource TGNC individuals are using to engage in identity exploration is online communities. We applied discourse analysis to analyze the talk and text of three such online communities, and explored: “How do self-identifying TGNC individuals construct their identity when they discuss their related experiences online?” We identified that individuals made sense of their identity using three discourses: (a) felt sense, (b) authenticity, and (c) legitimacy. Individuals constructed their identity using linguistic resources to resist systemic oppression and claim their identities as valid and real. We offer suggestions for infusing this insight into trans-affirmative practice.

Abstract This qualitative study explored the facilitators and barriers influencing professional mental health help-seeking among Malaysian LGBT young adults (n = 28). The main barriers identified were internal resistance, lack of resources and information about mental health, limited availability and accessibility to services, negative perception of mental health services, and stigma against LGBT communities. The facilitators were self-awareness, having resources and information, accessibility or availability of mental health services, and positive attitudes and beliefs about these services. Perspectives from our participants strongly highlight the requirement of culturally competent practices and LGBT-affirmative policies for better provision of mental health services among the LGBT communities.

Abstract Despite the population of transgender individuals in the United States doubling from 2011 to 2016, this population is one of the most understudied in counseling and related disciplines. Of the available research, the associations between gender congruence, defined as an individual’s body matching their gender identity, and well-being have been examined, particularly demonstrating positive associations between gender congruence and overall life satisfaction. However, a dearth of research remains on the possible associations between gender congruence and indices of relationship well-being—particularly sexual satisfaction—and possible moderating effects of the internal negative feelings regarding one’s identity (internalized transphobia). To address these gaps in the literature, this study gathered self-report data from 165 binary transgender men. While there was not an effect of gender congruence on sexual satisfaction, internalized transphobia was found to moderate this association; individuals who reported high internalized transphobia and high gender congruence reported the highest sexual satisfaction. Results of this study highlight the existing literature on the negative associations between internalized transphobia and well-being for transgender individuals. Implications for counselors are discussed, including advocacy efforts and implementation of techniques to facilitate growth and resilience to help transgender clients navigate the negative effects of internalized transphobia.

Abstract Eleven individuals who identified as transgender people of color (TPOC) were interviewed about their retrospective school-age experiences and how they learned to cope during youth and adolescence. Consensual qualitative research methodology was used to code and analyze data. Four key themes were identified including a model of TPOC identity development. Implications for the practice of school counseling and recommendations for future research are discussed.

Abstract The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (7th edition) contains significant new information about bias-free language to which scholars must now adhere. Consequently, these changes provide unprecedented support for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) community as the bias-free language is adopted. This article identifies resources that counseling practitioners can use to advocate for and counsel LGBTQ+ clients. Further, this article describes the significant advancements gained in gender and sexual orientation bias-free language in the 7th edition of the APA Publication Manual updates as contrasted with the 6th edition. Implications for counseling practitioners and researchers are provided.

Abstract Sexual diverse women of color (SDWOC) face significant heightened experiences of discrimination across multiple axes of identity. We sampled 182 SDWOC of Latinx and African American descent to examine factors associated with participants’ self-stigma to seek psychological help. Results indicated that intersectional discrimination across race and sexual orientation was positively associated with self-stigma to seek psychological help. Mediation analyses revealed that psychological distress was not a significant mediator; however, alcohol use disorder partially mediated the relation between intersectional discrimination and self-stigma to seek psychological help. Counselors must consider the role of alcohol use and self-stigma to reduce the treatment gap.
