Abstract
The suicide disparity among transgender and gender diverse (TGD) youth in the United States is occurring in a legislative climate with an unprecedented increase in anti-trans bills, yet limited restrictive firearm laws. The Policy and Health Justice: Collective Resilience/Resistance Against Trans (youth) Exclusion and Suicide model, based on Wesp et al.’s Intersectionality Research for Transgender Health Justice framework, proposes a pathway for how anti-trans bills and firearm laws contribute to TGD youth suicide through structures of domination, institutional systems, and socio-structural processes. The framework suggests targets for resilience and resistance to restructure the flow of power within systems to ameliorate the TGD youth suicide disparity.
