| Summary: | Transness and faith can seem incompatible given the often-negative religious messages about sexual and gender minorities. Yet religion/spirituality (R/S) appears to be widespread in the trans and nonbinary population (Salazar, 2017). Studies show that while religion can conflict with LGBTQ+ identities, it is also a source of resilience. However, few studies have looked specifically at TNB youth’s experiences. This article, based on a qualitative study conducted in Quebec with 54 TNB youth aged 15 to 25, examines the role of R/S in their lives with an intersectional analysis. We have observed that R/S sometimes conflicts with gender identity within families, religious and LGBTQ+ communities, and society, but becomes a source of resilience and internal acceptance when young people reclaim it. |
