Abstract: Many researchers study the concept of resilience, given its connection to student belonging, development, and success in college environments. More recently, researchers have challenged the idea of resilience as an inherent trait, given that it puts the onus on the individual to be resilient rather than focusing on how environments might be changed to require less resilience from those individuals. The resilience of transgender students has been researched more extensively over the past decade, with researchers reconceptualizing resilience more as a practice one engages in rather than a trait one possesses. Despite this conceptualization, less is known about whether there are particular patterns in transgender students' practices of resilience. Using data from a longitudinal, qualitative study of transgender students, we sought to understand what patterns may be related to transgender students' practices of resilience. Specifically, we find four practices participants engaged in most often and three practices from others that required less resilience from transgender participants. We conclude by offering implications for practice and future research.
