Purpose: We examined whether the relationship between minority stressors (victimization and discrimination) and suicide attempts (SAs) was moderated by gender identity-specific protective state policies in a sample of transgender and gender diverse (TGD) adults. Methods: TGD adults (n = 133) were recruited online and completed questionnaires. Results: Protective state policies moderated the relationship between minority stressors and SAs, with a significant positive association between minority stressors and SAs at low, but not medium and high, policy scores. Conclusion: A lack of protective state policies may be a risk factor in the relationship between minority stressors and SAs among TGD individuals.
