Moving beyond the binary: Young people and support, ensuring social policy meets diverse needs.

在过去的十年里，跨性别者在法律、政治、全球社区和媒体上的公众知名度和认知度发生了重大变化。通过这种可见性和认可度，在权利、支持和社会认知方面有了改善，也有了挑战。迄今为止，关于跨性别者的研究主要集中在二元医学和心理支持上，而对非二元性别者的研究只触及表面，他们有生活经历和支持需求，而对非二元性别的年轻人的研究很少。这个项目将探讨非二元性别年轻人的支持经历，对这些人的支持可能意味着什么，以及需要做出哪些改变来更好地支持这些人。该项目将采用一种新的唯物主义方法，超越人类和心理医学，包括和分析更广泛的环境、互动和事件，以及它们与非双性恋年轻人和支持的关系。研究方法将采用半聚焦访谈和参与式行动研究，以使参与者的声音成为研究的核心，并为未来做出有效的改变。

The past decade has seen a significant shift in the public visibility and recognition of Trans individualsacross legal, political, global communities and the media. Through this visibility and recognition, therehave been improvements in and challenges to rights, support, and societal perception. To date, researchregarding trans individuals has primarily focussed on binary medical and psychological support whilstonly scratching the surface of Non-binary gendered people, there lived experiences and supportrequirements and very little regarding Non-binary gendered young people.This project will explore Non-binary gendered young people's experience of support, what support forthese individuals might mean and what changes need to be made to support these individuals better.This project will use a new materialist approach to move beyond the human and psychomedical toInclude and analyse the broader environments, interactions and events and their relation to Non-binarygendered young people and support. The research methods will be semi-focussed interviews andparticipatory action research to allow the participant's voices to be at the core of this research and haveeffective change for the future.
