This qualitative study explored the resilience of 13 transgender youth of color in the southeastern region of the U.S. The definition of resilience framing this study was a participant's ability to bounce back from challenging experiences as transgender youth of color. Using a phenomenological research tradition and a feminist, intersectionality (intercategorical) theoretical framework, the research question guiding the study was: What are the daily lived experiences of resilience transgender youth of color describe as they negotiate intersections of transprejudice and racism? The researchers' individuated findings included five major domains of the essence of participants' daily lived experiences of resilience despite experiencing racism and transprejudice: (1) evolving, simultaneous self-definition of racial/ethnic and gender identities, (2) being aware of adultism experiences, (3) self-advocacy in educational systems, (4) finding one's place in the LGBTQQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning) youth community, and (5) use of social media to affirm one's identities as a transgender youth of color. Implications for practice, research, and advocacy, in addition to the study's limitations are discussed.
