Those with multiple minoritised identities, such as along the axes of disability and gender, arguably encounter more complex forms of discrimination; however, little is known about their experiences. Exploring the experiences of sex\/gender minoritised youth with disabilities is important because they often face many challenges within education, health and social services, including discrimination, which could perpetuate inequalities. The purpose of this study was to understand the ways in which discrimination influenced the experiences of sex\/gender minoritised youth with disabilities and how they coped with the discrimination they encountered.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study involved a qualitative interview design using a purposive sample of 10 sex\/gender minoritised youth with disabilities aged 17\u201325\u2009years (mean age 21.5\u2009years). An interpretive inductive thematic analysis was applied to the interview data.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our findings identified the following themes: (1) intersectional forms of discrimination, (2) negative impacts on physical and mental health, (3) hiding minoritised identities while avoiding unsafe spaces and situations and (4) inadequate social support and opportunities. We found that some youth demonstrated several positive coping strategies for dealing with ableism (Theme 5), which included (1) finding safe spaces through support\u2010seeking and community involvement and (2) self\u2010acceptance and self\u2010advocacy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The results highlight the pervasive negative impact that ableism has for sex\/gender minoritised youth with a disability. Although most youth demonstrated some coping and resilience skills, much further work is needed at a societal and institutional level to address and reduce discrimination while optimising social inclusion.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/cch.70067","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,16]],"date-time":"2025-03-16T21:58:31Z","timestamp":1742162311000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Navigating the Impact of Discrimination: Exploring the Experiences of Sex\/Gender Minoritised Youth With Disabilities"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"51","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5903-290X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sally","family":"Lindsay","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Bloorview Research Institute Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital  Toronto Ontario Canada"},{"name":"Department of Occupational Science &amp; Occupational Therapy University of Toronto  Toronto Canada"},{"name":"Rehabilitation Sciences Institute University of Toronto  Toronto Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peiwen","family":"Cao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bloorview Research Institute Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital  Toronto Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.dhjo.2022.101408"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/lgbt.2022.0032"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.socscimed.2014.03.022"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41582-023-00774-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11195-021-09686-z"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/josi.12340"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1191\/1478088706qp063oa"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_9_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Facilitators and Barriers to Sexual and Gender Minority Youth Development: Addressing Accessibility and 'isms', Building Collaborations, and Supporting Mental Health in Community\u2010Based Organizations","volume":"152","author":"Christensen M.","year":"2023","journal-title":"Children and Youth Services Review"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/1229039"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_11_1","volume-title":"Qualitative Inquiry and Research Design: Choosing Among Five Approaches","author":"Creswell J.","year":"2017"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ssmph.2018.05.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10578-023-01538-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1088357615587504"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/rep0000086"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-1-4419-6293-5_9"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/13691058.2015.1035751"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/09638288.2023.2173315"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11195-022-09769-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/pspi0000019"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2019-035714"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10803-020-04399-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_23_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/josi.12341"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_24_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1049732316665344"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_25_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Having a Disability and Identifying as LGBTQ+: Are Educational Professionals Prepared for This Intersectional Experience?","volume":"21","author":"Hogan J.
