Description
Jeanne Koller and Paul Urbanski report in 2023 on the lived experience of aging as a transgender or gender nonconforming adult. Older adults in this group face higher rates of poverty, homelessness, isolation, and depression than their peers. The study set out to hear their own accounts of later life.
The team interviewed twenty people aged fifty and older. Many spoke of fearing or losing ties with family after coming out. Health care raised hard questions, most of all the thought of needing long-term care. Others spoke of the relief of living as their true self, and of strength drawn from community and partners. Age at transition shaped many stories.
