*Paper Title:* Determining LGB Perceptions of and Trust in the Medical
Establishment
<https://umich.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=22efdb2c40e55b8126be00251&id=db2a7cae3d&e=e234a716ba>

*Abstract:* This paper explores how individuals of varying sexual
orientations hold different levels of trust in the medical establishment,
as well as the health and identity-based effects of this phenomenon.
Disclosure of sexuality to physicians is used as a proxy for trust. Linear
regression analysis reveals that nondisclosure rates are three-fold higher
within the bisexual community. We also find that dominance of LGB identity
is directly related while degree of internalized homophobia is inversely
related to disclosure. Finally, being out to one’s doctor corresponds with
clinical and identity-based benefits one year later. Clinical benefits
include better psychological well-being, better mental health status, and
lower depressive symptoms. Identity-based benefits include increased
salience of LGB identity and lowered levels of internalized homophobia,
both of which support our hypothesis that disclosure helps alleviate
internal identity conflict. Doctors thus seem to play a more holistic role
in patients’ lives that transcends the purely clinical.

*(Rice University) Paper Title:* Does (Trans)Gender Identity Complicate the
Relationship between Education and Self-Rated Health?
<https://umich.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=22efdb2c40e55b8126be00251&id=7876b59bc7&e=e234a716ba>

*Abstract:* Education’s association with health differs by social positions
such as gender, but research has yet to examine the effect of gender
minority status. This study asks how transgender individuals compare to
cisgender counterparts in the association between education and self-rated
health. Deploying perspectives of multiple disadvantaged statuses, I expand
current debates of education as a resource substitution or multiplication
to include gender minority subgroups. I use data from the TransPop Survey,
which offers information on education and health for transgender and
cisgender individuals (N=1,411). In contrast to results for ciswomen, I
find no evidence of resource substitution for any gender minority. I find
substantial subgroup heterogeneity among gender minorities. Transmen and
transwomen exhibit no educational gradient in health and education is less
health-protective for nonbinary individuals, even at the highest levels of
education. Findings suggest that sexism and cissexism combine to yield
diverse configurations of inequality.
