Project description
 

To determine the role of social exclusion in psychological and physical health in transgender persons this project will use 1) self-report data, 2) experimental psychological tasks and psychophysiology and 3) general health parameters and immune-related markers of health. Specifically, the project will
compare transgender persons before and after transition and compare them to cisgender controls.
