Transgender and gender non-binary adolescents experience high rates of peer victimization, but the prevalence of sexual assault in this population has not been established. Some schools restrict transgender and non-binary students from using restrooms and locker rooms that match their gender identity, with unknown effects on sexual assault risk. We tested whether these restrictions were associated with the 12-month prevalence of sexual assault victimization. Survey responses were analyzed from 3673 transgender and non-binary U.S. adolescents in grades 7 through 12 who participated in the cross-sectional 2017 LGBTQ Teen Study. We estimated the association between school restroom/locker room restrictions and past-year sexual assault, adjusting for potential demographic, social, and behavioral confounders, using logistic regression. We also tested potential mediators. The 12-month prevalence of sexual assault was 26.5% among transgender boys, 27.0% among non-binary youth assigned female at birth, 18.5% among transgender girls, and 17.6% among non-binary youth assigned male at birth. Youth whose restroom/locker room use was restricted were more likely to experience sexual assault compared to those without restrictions, with risk ratios of 1.26 (95% CI: 1.02, 1.52) in transgender boys, 1.42 (95% CI: 1.10, 1.78) in non-binary youth assigned female at birth, and 2.49 (95% CI: 1.11, 4.28) in transgender girls. Restrictions were not associated with sexual assault among non-binary youth assigned male at birth. Pediatricians should be aware that sexual assault is highly prevalent in transgender and non-binary youth, and that restrictive school restroom/locker room policies may be associated with risk. This study reports rates of sexual assault victimization, and its association with restrictive school restroom/locker room policies, in a transgender and gender non-binary adolescent sample.
