Abstract

Section A
Section A is a narrative review of fourteen studies exploring how young transgender people use online communication. Findings indicated that young transgender people interact with online communication in several ways. Positive uses include connection,information s eeking and self-expression. More negative outcomes included bullying, exposure to harmful information and impacts on other relationship. The review considers limitations and makes recommendations for future clinical and research directions.

Section B
Section B is an empirical paper in which semi-structured interviews took place with six young transgender people, exploring their experiences of discussing difficult life events with professionals. Results highlight the range of experiences and understandings young people have of these conversations. These ranged from finding them supportive and transformative, to distressing and reminiscent of trauma experiences. Limitations and directions for further research are discussed. Recommendations are made to apply trauma-informed principles in services in examining the impact of these conversations on young people.
