dc.description.abstractTransgender and non-binary people of colour (TNB-BIPOC) face considerable minority stressors, socioeconomic disparities, and discrimination based on the intersection of race and gender. Combining concepts of constructivism, intersectionality, and disenfranchised grief, this capstone tackles how TNB-BIPOC can reauthor harmful narratives around their multiply disenfranchised identities into those of resistance, particularly by using TTRPGs. TNB-BIPOC can use roleplaying games as a creative possibility for reauthoring disenfranchisement narratives using character creation as a symbolic and narrative form of resistance. This capstone offers a call to action for therapists to educate themselves and complement the worldmaking processes and counternarratives that TNB-BIPOC already use to increase identity cohesion and resilience.
