Background: Transgender Latine people are rarely focused on, however, this population is growing and lives at the intersection of identities repeatedly targeted by conservative policies. Social workers, who often engage with marginalized populations, are likely to interface with Latine transgender youth due to the unique challenges they face. Parental support is widely recognized as a primary protective factor for transgender youth, significantly influencing their mental health and well-being. While previous qualitative studies identify key cultural factors that influence Latine LGBTQ+ experiences of family and community acceptance, much of the existing research focuses on sexual minority groups and is approached through a deficit/harm lens, overlooking the distinct challenges and strengths held by Latine transgender individuals and their families. The process of acculturation further shapes these experiences. This study aims to fill that gap by focusing specifically on Latine transgender young adults and their perception of how these cultural factors influence parental support. Methods: Adults ages 18-25 who identify as Latine and transgender were recruited to complete an online survey (N=75). Existing scales were used to measure the study’s variables of interest: religiosity (Behavioral Religiosity Scale), familismo (Attitudinal Familism Scale), gender norm traditionalism (Marianismo and Machismo/Caballerismo scales) and experienced parental support (Parental Reactions to Adolescent Distress [PRAD] and Parental Attitudes of Gender Expansiveness [PAGES-Y] scales). Answers to one open-ended question were analyzed to identify other factors of interest for future research (N=67).Results: Every 1-point increase in Marianismo predicted a 0.03 of a point increase PRAD scores (negative parental reactions) (B=0.03, p=0.01). Every 1-point increase in Caballerismo predicted a 0.02 of a point decrease in PRAD scores (B= -0.02, p=0.02). This suggests a negative impact of constraining gender expectations on people AFAB and the parent-child relationship. Acculturation (control), significantly predicted an increase of 0.15 points in PAGES-Y scores, signifying increased perceived parental support in relation to adolescent gender expansiveness with every 1-point increase in acculturation (B=0.15, p=0.01). Acculturative stress and an acculturation gap between within families may contribute to the perception of decreased capacity to engage in conversations related to gender. Responses to the open-ended question identified additional factors: parent-child relationship, socio-economic class, and media influence. Implications: Mental health professionals should contextualize the experiences of Latine families within the greater sociopolitical climate of the U.S. While holding an awareness of these cultural concepts, clinicians should explore individual, family and youth needs in order to strengthen experienced parental support.
