| Popis: | Rates of suicidal ideation (SI), attempts, and death by suicide are consistently elevated among persons from sexual and gender minority groups relative to the general population. Experiences of minority stress and thwarted belongingness may contribute to elevated risk, and be most pernicious among persons with multiple marginalized identities.The present study sought to examine the relation between gender identity (cisgender vs. transgender and nonbinary individuals [TNB]) and recent SI among a convenience sample of lesbian, gay, bisexual, questioning, and queer adults.Participants (We tested a mediation model in which TNB identity was indirectly associated with SI via minority stress (Gender identity was indirectly associated with SI through minority stress and elevations in minority stress were associated with more frequent SI. The minority stress and SI association was strongest for participants reporting higher thwarted belongingness. Building and maintaining strong social support networks may be especially important for persons with intersecting gender and sexual minority identities who face minority stress.HIGHLIGHTSTNB gender identity was indirectly associated with SI via minority stressThwarted belongingness moderated the relation between minority stress and SIThe minority stress SI relation was strongest at higher thwarted belongingness. |
