Abstract

Background: Transgender and gender expansive (TGE) people experience poorer mental health outcomes compared to their cisgender counterparts. There is limited research on understanding the experiences of TGE school-aged young people from an Australian perspective. Since each country and state has different cultures, laws, and access to gender-affirming care research considering these differences is imperative.
