Abstract
Description
This study aimed to explore the challenges and coping strategies of non-binary university students. Through in-depth interviews and thematic analysis, it aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the experiences of non-binary individuals in higher education settings. Key findings reveal that non-binary students faced a range of challenges, including lack of institutional support, conservative apprehension and gender invisibility. However, they also employ various coping strategies such as surrounding themselves with supportive networks and engaging in self-care practices. The insights gained from this study contribute to the growing body of literature on gender diversity and offer practical implications for universities to better support nonbinary students.
