\begin{abstract}
Hi reddit! My name is Ralph Vetters, and I am the Medical Director of
the Sidney Borum Jr. Health Center, a program of Fenway Health. Hailing
originally from Texas and Missouri, I graduated from Harvard College in
1985. My first career was as a union organizer in New England for
workers in higher education and the public sector. In 1998, I went back
to school and graduated from the Harvard Medical School in 2003 after
also getting my masters in public health at the Harvard School of Public
Health in maternal and child health. I graduated from the Boston
Combined Residency Program in Pediatrics at Boston Children's Hospital
and Boston Medical Center in 2006 and have been working as a
pediatrician at the Sidney Borum Health Center since that time. My work
focuses on providing care to high risk adolescents and young adults,
specifically developing programs that support the needs of homeless
youth and inner city LGBT youth. I'm Jenifer McGuire, and I am an
Associate Professor of Family Social Science and Extension Specialist at
the University of Minnesota. My training is in adolescent development
and family studies (PhD and MS) as well as a Master's in Public Health.
I do social science research focused on the health and well-being of
transgender youth. Specifically, I focus on gender development among
adolescents and young adults and how social contexts like schools and
families influence the well-being of trans and gender non-conforming
young people. I became interested in applied research in order to learn
what kinds of environments, interventions, and family supports might
help to improve the well-being of transgender young people. I serve on
the National Advisory Council of GLSEN, and am the Chair of the GLBTSA
for the National Council on Family Relations. For the past year I have
served as a Scholar for the Children Youth and Families Consortium, in
transgender youth. I work collaboratively in research with several
gender clinics and have conducted research in international gender
programs as well. I am a member of WPATH and USPATH and The Society for
Research on Adolescence. I provide outreach in Minnesota related to
transgender youth services through UMN extension. See our toolkit here,
and Children's Mental Health ereview here. I also work collaboratively
with the National Center on Gender Spectrum Health to adapt and expand
longitudinal cross-site data collection opportunities for clinics
serving transgender clients. Download our measures free here. Here are
some recent research and theory articles: Body Image: In this article we
analyzed descriptions from 90 trans identified young people about their
experiences of their bodies. We learned about the ways that trans young
people feel better about their bodies when they have positive social
interactions, and are treated in their identified gender. Ambiguous
Loss: This article describes the complex nature of family relationships
that young people describe when their parents are not fully supportive
of their developing gender identity. Trans young people may experience
mixed responses about physical and psychological relationships with
their family members, requiring a renegotiation of whether or not they
continue to be members of their own families. Transfamily Theory: This
article provides a summary of major considerations in family theories
that must be reconsidered in light of developing understanding of gender
identity. School Climate: This paper examines actions schools can take
to improve safety experiences for trans youth. Body Art: This chapter
explores body modification in the form of body art among trans young
people from a perspective of resiliency. We'll be back around noon EST
to answer your questions on transyouth! AUA!%
