Knowledge is Power: Trans Young People's Perceptions of Parental Reactions to Their Gender Identity, and Perceived Barriers and Facilitators to Parental Support

Helen Morgan et al.

Summary: Parental support is crucial for trans youth, but most of them face unsupportive attitudes from their parents. This study aimed to understand how youth perceive parental reactions to their gender identity disclosure and identify barriers and facilitators of support. Qualitative interviews revealed a range of initial parental reactions, from rejection to unconditional support. Barriers included lack of knowledge, parental isolation, stigma, and fear, while facilitators included good-quality information, peer connection, and positive trans representation.

Nigatu Teferi Malango et al.

Determinants of communication on sexual issues between adolescents and their parents in the Adaklu district of the Volta region, Ghana: a multinomial logistic regression analysis

Desmond Klu et al.

Summary: Communication between parents and adolescents on sexual issues is crucial for adolescent development and well-being. However, poor communication in areas with high rates of teenage pregnancy can lead to negative sexual practices. This study identifies factors that predict communication on sexual issues between adolescents and their parents in a rural area with a high teenage pregnancy rate. The findings suggest the need to empower adolescents and provide parents with the right information and communication skills to improve communication on sexual issues.

Parent-Adolescent Sexuality Communication in the African Context: A Scoping Review of the Literature

Anthony Senanu Agbeve et al.

Silencing Queerness - Community and Family Relationships with Young Ethnic Queers in Aotearoa New Zealand

C. Nakhid et al.

Summary: The contribution of family and community to the lives of ethnic young people is well-documented. However, queer ethnic young people often face compromised support from their family and community due to homophobic attitudes and behaviors influenced by misinformation, religious beliefs, and cultural practices. This qualitative study sheds light on the impact of community attitudes and behaviors on the family and community relationships of queer ethnic young people. Gossip, rumors, silence, stigma, and respectability politics result in gender silencing and monitoring, rejection, and self-exclusion. These behaviors exacerbate feelings of cultural alienation in a society where ethnic peoples are already racialized and minoritized, and where the lack of support systems compounds an unsafe environment for queer ethnic young people. Education and interventions at both interpersonal and communal levels are needed to address homonegative attitudes within ethnic communities.

Why Doesn't the Decriminalisation of Same-Sex Sexuality and Sex Work Ensure Rights? The Legality and Social Acceptance of Transgressive Sexualities in Urban Mozambique

Carolien J. Aantjes et al.

Summary: Despite the introduction of new legal standards in Mozambique that no longer criminalize same-sex sexuality and sex work, there is little resonance due to conflicting religious, sexual, gender, and socio-cultural norms. Sensitization and rehabilitation for LGBTI people and sex workers are considered essential, but the country's commitment to internationally recognized rights obligations is weakened by ambiguous language in legislation and inconsistencies between laws.
