The presentation will discuss current research in progress with trans and gender diverse people of colour in relation to post-traumatic growth. Transnegativity and gender-based discrimination impact negatively on wellbeing and mental health in transgender (trans) and gender diverse people (TGD). There is limited research on TGD people thriving under such adversity, and no research to date has considered TGD people of colour in this context. The study aims to understand post-traumatic growth in TGD white people and TGD people of colour. We used the Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI-X) to survey 125 TGD people of colour and 625 white TGD adults (18 to 68 years old, M=26.0, SD=9.2) about their experiences of growth from adversity. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), using sub-sampling to compensate for our unequal sample sizes, supported a five-factor structure of the PTGI-X consisting of growth in relating to others, finding new possibilities, personal strength, greater appreciation of life, and spiritual/existential change. Measurement invariance tests confirmed configural, metric, and scalar invariance of this structure across the two TGD subgroups. A MANOVA revealed that growth from adversity in TGD participants was generally greater than that reported by people who have recently been exposed to a traumatic event. T-tests revealed that TGD people of colour experienced more growth in terms of relating to others and more personal strength than white TGD participants. Subsequent hierarchical regressions revealed that race strongly moderated associations between PTGI-X scores and two outcome measures (personal well-being and negative mood), with people of colour reporting more benefits (more well-being and less negative mood) at high levels of growth but also more deficits (less well-being and more negative mood) at low levels of growth than the white subgroup. The results support the use of the PTGI-X with TGD populations and across racial TGD subgroups and indicate that growth from adversity is not only prevalent in TGD people but also relevant to positive outcomes, particularly in TGD people of colour.
