Abstract
This qualitative study examined intersectional identity development and centrality processes among 23 young Latine queer men (Mage = 27) via a trans-inclusive sample. Utilizing reflexive thematic analysis, we identified early conflicts shaped by internalized oppression and resistance pathways that strengthened integrated identity centrality and resilience across intracommunity contexts over time.
