In addition to experiences of harassment and discrimination, difficulties accessing trans-affirming supports and services, and widespread transbias, transgender and gender expansive youth experiencing homelessness must also contend with structural constraints and oppressive messages about who they are and who they can become. Despite these challenges, transgender and gender expansive youth experiencing homelessness are finding innovative ways to resist the multiple and overlapping institutionalized challenges they face. I hope that my work in this area informs policy and program development to reduce the institutional barriers trans/gender expansive youth face.
