Trans Gender & Intimacy Study

March 5, 2010 · Posted in Research · Comment 

Hello, I’m currently working on my dissertation at Widener University. I’m looking for folks who have non-binary gender identities (ie: gender-fluid, androgynous, genderqueer) who would be comfortable talking with me for an hour about their gender and their relationships. There is a $20 compensation.  Participants need to identify as trans, be 18 or older, and live in or near Philly.  I’m particularly interested in including people of color and people born male because their stories are rarely represented in this kind research.

Check out my two attached flyers/palm cards. And if you know of anyone who might be interested, please forward or give the info to them.

Thanks for your time!

In a wide range of studies, social scientists are amassing a growing body of evidence to show we are evolving to become more compassionate and collaborative in our quest to survive and thrive.
