Abstract

Black transgender women (BTW) are subjected to transmisogynoir, as intersectional minority stress and violence that increases their risk of negative well-being. The purpose of this study was to explore themes of intersectional violence and well-being in a group of BTW in Los Angeles, California, from their perspectives. Ten participants were interviewed, and data were analyzed using consensual qualitative research. This article focused on themes around transmisogynoir and (a) mental well-being, (b) social determinants of health, and (c) help seeking. Recommendations for BTW well-being interventions and future directions to promote BTW wellness are provided.
