“…Drawing from the results of most studies ( 17 , 36 , 37 , 40 , 41 , 43 , 46 , 47 ) the positive association between IT and depression seems to be consistent: trans people with more IT reported more depression ( Table 8 ). Only in a study with a small sample ( N = 29) this relation did not reach a significant level ( 45 ).…”

“…Our search identified 14 studies ( Table 4 ) which met our criteria (see Figure 1 ), including a total of 4.913 trans persons ( 17 , 36 – 40 , 42 – 45 , 47 – 50 ). In almost all cases, participants' inclusion was assessed through self-identification as “transgender,” “trans men” or “trans women” ( 17 , 37 – 40 , 42 – 46 , 48 , 50 ). While seven studies included mostly trans women ( 37 , 38 , 40 , 45 – 48 , 50 ), four included more trans men ( 17 , 42 , 44 ) and in one study most participants identified as non-binary [Transgender participants were considered non-binary if they reported a gender identity that was anything other than exclusively male or female, (40, p. 339)].…”

“…The studies included in this review assessed depression ( 17 , 29 , 37 – 40 , 43 , 45 , 46 , 48 ), anxiety ( 17 , 37 , 43 , 45 , 46 , 48 ) suicidal tendency ( 38 – 40 , 42 , 44 – 46 ) and NSSI ( 37 , 44 ) with different instruments ( Table 5 ). Furthermore, various approaches to assess IT ( Table 6 ) and protective factors ( Table 7 ) were used.…”

Relationship of Internalized Transnegativity and Protective Factors With Depression, Anxiety, Non-suicidal Self-Injury and Suicidal Tendency in Trans Populations: A Systematic Review

et al. 2021

Discrimination heavily impacts the lives of trans populations and causes adverse mental health outcomes. As stated by the Gender Minority Stress Model self-stigmatization could play an important role in this process. The aim of this systematic review is to investigate whether there is a positive association between self-stigmatization and mental health and to identify mediation factors. Studies which quantitatively investigated the association between internalized transnegativity and selected mental health outcomes (depression, anxiety, non-suicidal self-injury, suicidal tendency) in self-identified trans populations were included. Comprehensive search of 5 large databases in June 2020 and the following screening and selection procedure, performed by two researchers separately, identified 14 studies which met criteria. The relationship to be studied was reported with correlation and/or mediation analysis of cross-sectional data. IT was directly positively associated with depression, anxiety and suicidal tendency in most of the reviewed studies. Data indicates links between self-stigmatization and other general mental health stressors such as rumination and thwarted belongingness. Community connectedness showed to be the strongest protective factor for mental health impairments. These results should be considered in transition counseling. More research is needed to better understand the underlying mechanisms of the GMSM and to address unsolved operationalization and measurement issues.

Those of us with embodied experiences of gender diversity and sexually assault have and continue to be subject to psychiatric diagnosis and categorization that pathologize our acts of dissociation within a medical framework. In this paper we adopt Barad, Karen. 2007. Meeting the Universe Halfway: Quantum Physics and the Entanglement of Matter and Meaning. Durham and London: Duke University Press new materialist ontology of agential realism to argue that agentially cutting psychiatric discourse on dissociative symptoms could materialize new realities for embodied people which have been excluded to the psychiatric realm of abjection via gender diversity and sexual assault. Specifically, we explore how approaching dissociative symptoms not as dysfunction but as forms of agential dislocation from hegemonic norms of race and gender could open new political horizons by naming relations of dominance.

The prevalence of experiencing sexual assault is alarmingly high among Transgender and Gender Diverse people (TGD; people whose gender identities and/or expressions are not traditionally associated with their sex assigned at birth) and is associated with various mental health sequalae. Perceived social support has been shown to abate the negative outcomes of sexual assault among cisgender individuals, yet little is known about this association among TGD people, especially which provider of support (i.e., family, friends, or significant others) may be most beneficial. To that end, 191 TGD adults were recruited through Amazon’s Mechanical Turk to examine perceived social support as a potential moderator of the association between sexual assault victimization and post-sexual assault trauma symptomology. Results showed an interaction trending toward significance between sexual assault and support from a significant other. Decomposition of this interaction demonstrated that sexual assault was associated with post-assault trauma symptoms when support from a significant other was low (ß = .25, p < .05) but not high (ß = .10, p = .089). The interaction between sexual assault and perceived social support was not significant for perceived support from friends ( p = .133) or family ( p = .954). Findings highlight the need for additional research on perceived social support as a potential buffering mechanism between sexual assault and post-assault symptomology in TGD people.
