Summary: Gender minorities face more stigma and violence after coming out. This study aimed to understand how people perceive characters with different gender identity labels. Student participants were randomly assigned to three conditions and read vignettes describing characters with explicit labels, implicit labels, or no gender labels. Participants rated the characters more positively when they were described with a gender identity label. The positive results may be attributed to the young, liberal, and predominantly female sample.

Summary: Gender-related medical misattribution and invasive questioning (GRMMIQ), known as trans broken arm syndrome, is a type of medical discrimination faced by transgender and gender diverse (TGD) patients where a provider incorrectly assumes a medical condition is due to the patient's gender identity or transition. This study aimed to explore the incidence, correlates, and manifestations of GRMMIQ. Results showed that nearly one-third of participants reported experiencing GRMMIQ, which was associated with outness to healthcare providers and other gender-related discrimination in medical settings.

Summary: This article provides a genealogical analysis of the Philippine category transpinay, and examines the ways in which the term gained its currency by drawing out distinctions between gender and sexuality categories. The article investigates what the category includes and excludes, and examines disputes over the term's categorical boundaries. Overall, the article aims to investigate what the term does and how it came to be, rather than determining its exact definition.

Summary: This study indicates that family caregiving is universally important in determining where older adults die in both the United States and in Europe, with care from a spouse/partner or child/grandchild being more common and more strongly associated with place of death than care from other relatives. The associations between family caregiving and place of death were generally consistent across European welfare regimes.

Summary: Correlational research shows that homeless transgender youth have a higher likelihood of suicide attempts, but the reasons for this correlation remain unclear. This study analyzed in-depth interviews with 30 transgender young people in the United States who experienced homelessness, finding that gender-based parental rejection and dysfunctional family dynamics contributed to both suicidality and homelessness for participants. The study suggests that leaving an unsupportive family, even if it leads to homelessness, may reduce suicidality for some transgender youth.

Summary: This study aimed to identify the perceived barriers to and benefits of physical activity among veterans that are wounded, injured, and/or sick (WIS). The results revealed that physical capability, psychological capability, physical opportunity, and reflective motivation were the predominant barriers. The perceived benefits of engaging in physical activity seemed to mirror the barriers. Therefore, incentivisation, education, persuasion, enablement, and environmental restructuring were identified as potentially beneficial intervention functions.

Summary: As a super-aged society, Japan has seen an increasing use of exercise-based interventions to reduce the need for long-term care among older adults. This study aimed to develop a questionnaire based on the theoretical domains framework to assess the psychological determinants of exercise in this population. The findings showed good reliability and validity for seven unique psychological determinants of exercise. This study is the first to provide a measurement tool for assessing the psychological determinants of exercise in Japanese older adults.
