“…Participants in this study spoke about how the “church has savaged” transgender and nonbinary people, as well as about how the harm that transgender and nonbinary people experience results from “the cultural narrative. It is the bullying, it is defining as being against religion.” Cultural and religious messages that are not inclusive of transgender and nonbinary identities create an environment in which transgender and nonbinary people are subject to identity threat that overtime has negative impacts on mental health and well‐being due to the over‐activation of the stress response (i.e., fight/flight/freeze/fawn) related to not experiencing safety, belonging, and affirmation (Grasser & Jovanovic, 2022; Perry & Winfrey, 2021; Slepian & Jacoby‐Senghor, 2021).…”

“…Complementing these studies in humans, work in mice and rats demonstrates accelerated and decelerated trajectories of synaptic pruning, emergence of molecular contributors to excitatory/inhibitory balance in the aftermath of fetal alcohol exposure, ingestion of high sugar diets in infancy, and social isolation in adolescence (143)(144)(145)(146)(147). There is also steadily accumulating data that racial trauma and discriminative practices affect neuroanatomy in the generations directly exposed to these atrocities (148). Future work focused on descendants of the exposed generation will fill the gap of knowledge in determining the neuroanatomical legacies of these historical atrocities.…”

“…Group Stress Health Disparities 2017) in which the body's typical response to stress may be altered. Chronic stress activates and promotes dysregulation in the sympathetic nervous system and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (Grasser & Jovanovic 2022) in ways that could alter physiological responses over time (Gunnar & Quevedo 2007). Vargas et al (2020) describe biological mechanisms most associated with psychotic symptoms that could be triggered by chronic stress, including the link between chronic stress and aberrant dopamine and glutamate transmission (Grace 2016, Howes et al 2015 and chronic inflammation (Bergink et al 2014), both of which have been linked with psychotic symptoms.…”

“…It is possible that the chronic exposure to threatening environments could blunt the neurological response to a new stressor and also impede the recovery process to such stressors (Teicher et al 2016). More studies need to determine what these neurobiological differences mean in terms of potential susceptibility to psychiatric outcomes within the psychosis spectrum and, most importantly, how early adversities and exposure to racial discrimination throughout development may have lasting effects on neurobiological health and functioning (Grasser & Jovanovic 2022).…”
