Abstract

Aim:
Young people who identify as transgender experience a disproportionate amount of discrimination compared to their cisgender peers. The purpose of this study is to critically reflect on the role educational psychologists (EPs) have in engaging with young people who identify as transgender.

Method:
A systematic literature review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The EBSCOhost database was used to identify 4 studies. A narrative commentary approach was used for analysis.

Findings and Conclusions:
The analysis of the identified studies highlights the unique position of EPs to work with young people, families and schools within a range of systems while using skills centred around advocacy, conciliation and psychological knowledge to challenge discrimination faced by young people who identify as transgender.
