A recent study shows that chronic exposure to discrimination and stigma can negatively impact the health of trans and nonbinary people. But it also shows that a strong sense of community can help alleviate those impacts. The findings are part of the broader Trans Resilience and Health Study, co-led by Jae Puckett, an assistant professor at Michigan State University, and Zachary DuBois, an assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Oregon.

DuBois joins us to talk about the recent findings, as well as the broader effort to explore trans resilience and health across the U.S.
