Experiences of transgender students at UK universities
Abstract: Research into the experiences of transgender students in the UK is extremely limited despite surveys suggesting high levels of discrimination exist. This study aimed to explore the experiences of transgender students at UK universities, focusing on challenges and support. Six participants took part in semi-structured interviews, which were analysed using thematic analysis. Two themes encompassing challenges and support experienced were identified: university as a space of potential acceptance and empowerment and university as an unwelcoming social space. The subthemes within each provide insight into the nuances of transgender students' experiences at UK universities and highlight inconsistencies in current levels of support and policy. Future research is needed to understand the role of underlying student attitudes in discrimination, the efficacy of awareness raising initiatives, and how the responses of others can either objectify transgender students or reduce self-stigma. It is recommended that universities implement clear policies and procedures to support transgender students, develop inclusive facilities, and promote representation.
