Abstract
A nationwide online cross-sectional survey of 1,943 14- to 18-year-old gender minority (GM) adolescents in the US found that GM stressors (prejudice events, expectations of rejection, internalized transnegativity, and concealment) mediated the relationship between identity (race/ethnicity and GM subgroups) and depressive and anxiety symptoms.
