Abstract: Young adults who are transgender and/or nonbinary (TNB) experience discrimination, violence, and other social stressors as a result of cissexism, the system of power relations that marginalizes people whose genders diverge from sociocultural expectations for the sex they were assigned at birth. However, variation in TNB young adults’ exposure to social stressors across gender groups, particularly specific nonbinary gender groups (e.g., agender, genderqueer), has not been well characterized.
