"It's complicated": collective memories of transgender, queer, and questioning youth in high school.
Using the qualitative participatory action methodology, collective memory work, this study explored how transgender, queer, and questioning (TQQ) youth make meaning of their sexual orientation and gender identity through high school experiences. Researchers identified three major conceptual but overlapping themes from the data generated in the transgender, queer, and questioning youth focus group: a need for resilience, you should be able to be safe, and this is what action looks like! The researchers discuss how as a research product, a documentary can effectively "capture voices" of participants, making research accessible and attractive to parents, practitioners, policy makers, and participants.
