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

在过去的十年里，跨性别者在法律的、政治、全球社区和媒体上的公众可见度和认可度发生了重大变化。通过这种可见度和认可，在权利、支持和社会观念方面有所改善，也面临挑战。迄今为止，关于跨性别者的研究主要集中在二元的医疗和心理支持上，而对非二元性别者的研究则只是触及表面，有生活经验和支持需求，而对非二元性别的年轻人的研究很少。本项目将探讨非二元性别的年轻人的支持经验，对这些人的支持可能意味着什么，以及需要做出什么样的改变来更好地支持这些人。这个项目将使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、互动和事件及其与非二元性别青年的关系和支持。研究方法为半焦点访谈与参与式行动研究，让参与者的声音成为研究的核心，为未来带来有效的改变。

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.
