Special issue of International Journal of Transgenderism: Transgender people of color and intersections of oppression

Transgender people often face stigma and discrimination based on gender identity. However, transgender people of color (POC) and indigenous people face stigma and discrimination based on gender identity, race, ethnicity, and color. The psychological and physiological consequences associated with having a marginalized identity is known as minority stress and having more than one oppressed identity is conceptualized as multiple minority stress. The intersections of oppressed components of identity, known as intersectionality, capture the unique detrimental experiences of minorities as well as the ways in which marginalized populations exhibit resistance and resilience.

This special issue looks to highlight transgender POC and intersectionality. We seek submissions from a broad range of intersectional topics including, but not limited to race, ethnicity, color, sexual orientation, religion, disability, and immigration, and connections between multiple minority stress and mental health, physical health, and overall well-being. This special issue is part of an ongoing effort to amplify the voices and experiences of populations, who are often further silenced and stigmatized within social movements.

M. Paz Galupo and Jaymie Campbell Orphanidys invite empirical (qualitative and quantitative) or review papers and commentaries (maximum 6,000 words) on the subject of intersectionality and transgender people. The deadline for abstract submissions is November 30, 2018 (full papers due by April 30, 2019). Abstract should be 500–1000 words.

Examples of appropriate topics include, but are not limited to:

Sociological barriers for transgender POC in accessing mental health care

Sociological barriers for transgender POC in accessing physical health care

Transgender POC and navigating social and personal and relationships

Experiences of discrimination and prejudice for transgender POC

Positive experiences of community and resilience among transgender POC

Disability narratives of transgender people with special attention to the experiences of transgender POC

Immigration narratives of transgender people

Transgender people and neurodiversity with special attention to the experiences of transgender POC
