Key Points

  • Anti-blackness contributes significantly to the experiences of minority stress in queer, transgender, black, and indigenous people of color, leading to negative health outcomes.

  • The article provides a framework to disrupt practices rooted in white supremacy, aiming for more inclusive and effective counseling approaches for marginalized groups.
  • Addressing anti-blackness in healthcare settings is essential to reducing stigma and discrimination faced by queer transgender individuals from diverse racial backgrounds.

Abstract

As of late, academic research has been focusing on conceptualizing and developing the phenomenon known as “Anti-Blackness”, as part of exploring the depth and persistence of racism towards Black communities in the United States. This article further conceptualizes the impacts of Anti-Blackness and white supremacy on minority stress among QTBIPOC communities, as well as provides recommendations for mental health counselors to develop further awareness, theoretical frameworksandadvocacy efforts to address and disrupt Anti-Blackness throughout counseling practice and healthcare.
