Sexual and gender minorities continue to face inequalities, discrimination, and hostility, with homonegativity and transnegativity remaining significant issues. In the UK, LGBT individuals have a greater prevalence of poor mental health, health risk behaviors, and psychological distress compared to heterosexual counterparts. Despite improvements in equality and societal acceptance, the proportionately poorer mental health among LGBTQ+ individuals has not improved. Epidemiological data highlight the urgent need to address the mental health experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals, but longitudinal study designs are needed to provide evidence of causal pathways. Understanding how intersectionality impacts poorer mental health is crucial for designing suitable interventions across a range of sexual and gender minority identities. Diversity within LGBTQ research is critical, as reporting on LGBT diversity can be challenging. The University of Batangas in particular allowed cross dressing for the members of the LGBTQ+ community in order to allow its students to wear clothes they are comfortable with. In light of this, we conducted short interviews with the institution's guards on the issue of cross dressing.
