The LGBT+ community represents a range of gender and sexual minorities who have fought for equal rights and acceptance throughout history. Pride parades, protests, demonstrations, and awareness-raising campaigns are just some of the collective actions that LGBT+ members utilise to combat discrimination and hates crimes. Yet while there has been some marked progress for sexual minorities (i.e., legalisation of same-sex marriage in many countries), similar progress for transgender people -the T in the LGBT- has lagged behind. This somewhat unenthusiastic support for transgender rights is evident across many groups, however, more surprisingly it also permeates the LGB+ community. This is evidenced in qualitative research as transgender people report experiencing isolation, exclusion, and even discrimination from LGB+ members (Hutsell, 2012; Parameter et al, 2020). Taken together with the fact that transgender people experience a plethora of other hardships (e.g., elevated levels of violent hate crimes and suicidality), it is vital that this lack of support inside the LGBT+ community is investigated further (Williams Institute, 2022, 2020). Firstly, it is essential to understand why support for transgender rights is not stronger among LGB+ people, by exploring what underpins negative attitudes and the lack of support for transgender rights among some LGB+ individuals. Ultimately, then exploring how to effectively boost this support by understanding factors that encourage LGB+ individuals to stand up for the T in LGBT through collective actions.With the support of the ESRC SWDTP, I plan to shed new light on this important, yet overlooked issue within the research community. I will do so across a series of at least three mixed-methodological studies and some follow up studies as and where needed. In fact, I have already started designing a pilot study as part of my MSc degree at Exeter under the supervision of my proposed supervisors, Dr Begeny and Prof. Barreto, where we will start to investigate different potential predictors of LGB+ collective action for transgender rights. Building upon this MSc study (cross-sectional data), I will run a series of studies that will cumulatively aim to develop an appropriate intervention to boost these intentions. Each of the proposed studies will control for the individual difference factors investigated in the MSc project. LGB+ participants will be recruited using Prolific Academic, where there are currently 19,438 available for recruitment.The proposed project aims to add to the collective action literature and fill a gap in its theory by examining an example of collective action in which there is no clear advantaged group (Hassler et al, 2020). In addition to adding to theoretical advancements it is hoped to provide a refreshing outlook on what is often a very negative field of research, by starting the development of a collective action intervention. The findings of the study are hoped to be disseminated to various inclusive LGBTQ+ and transgender charities and organisations (e.g., Stonewall and Mermaids).

LGBT+社区代表了一系列性别和性少数群体，他们在历史上为平等权利和接受而奋斗。骄傲游行、抗议、示威和提高认识运动只是LGBT+成员用来打击歧视和仇恨犯罪的集体行动的一部分。然而，尽管性少数群体取得了一些显著进展（即，尽管许多国家同性婚姻合法化，但跨性别者（LGBT中的T）的类似进展却落后了。这种对跨性别权利的不太热情的支持在许多群体中都很明显，然而，更令人惊讶的是，它也渗透到了LGB+社区。这在定性研究中得到了证明，因为变性人报告说，他们受到LGB+成员的孤立、排斥甚至歧视（Hutsell，2012年; Parameter等人，2020年）。再加上变性人经历了过多的其他困难（例如，暴力仇恨犯罪和自杀水平升高），进一步调查LGBT+社区内部缺乏支持至关重要（威廉姆斯研究所，2022年，2020年）。首先，必须了解为什么LGB+人群中对变性人权利的支持力度不够，探讨是什么导致了一些LGB+人群中对变性人权利的消极态度和缺乏支持。最后，然后探索如何有效地提高这种支持，通过了解鼓励LGB+个人通过集体行动站起来的T在LGBT的因素。与ESRC SWDTP的支持下，我计划阐明这个重要的，但在研究界被忽视的问题新的光。我将通过一系列至少三个混合方法的研究和一些后续研究来完成。事实上，我已经开始设计一项试点研究，作为我在埃克塞特的理学硕士学位的一部分，在我提议的导师Begeny博士和Barreto教授的监督下，我们将开始调查LGB+跨性别权利集体行动的不同潜在预测因素。基于这项硕士研究（横截面数据），我将进行一系列研究，这些研究将累积旨在制定适当的干预措施来促进这些意图。每个拟议的研究将控制在硕士项目中调查的个体差异因素。LGB+参与者将通过Prolific Academic招募，目前有19，438名参与者可供招募。拟议的项目旨在通过研究没有明确的集体行动的集体行动的例子来补充集体行动文献并填补其理论中的空白（Hassler等人，2020）。除了增加理论上的进步，它希望通过开始发展集体行动干预，为通常是非常消极的研究领域提供一个令人耳目一新的前景。希望将研究结果传播给各种包容性的LGBTQ+和跨性别慈善机构和组织（例如，Stonewall and Mermaids（英语：Stonewall and Mermaids）
