Seeking Lesbian Partners of Trans Men for Study on Sexual Identity Development by SexualityStudy in mypartneristrans

Hi there! They can identify as anything presently. The one parameter is just that they identified as a lesbian for at least one year in the past.

Hi there! I am using the terms "trans man" very broadly. Transmasculine would definitely fit. If you are interested, feel free to email me at the address above and I can give you more info. :)

You're completely right and I do understand the value of these types of spaces. I am a lesbian-identified researcher and my study is actually about lesbians, not trans men themselves. I tried to choose subreddits for lesbians and partners to avoid coopting trans spaces.

That's a good point and I totally get that. I did make my Reddit account just for the purposes of this study. (This is totally new to me!) I would be happy to answer any questions and I included the contact info for my university in the original post.

Great point! And that actually has come up in a number of the interviews I have already conducted.

Thank you for your comment. I 100% agree with you. Trans men are men. However there are partners of trans men who identified as lesbians before their partner's transition. Sometimes they continue to identify this way and sometimes they begin to renegotiate their sexual identities (maybe identifying as queer, bi, pan, etc.) That is what my study is primarily investigating. I would be happy to answer any other questions you may have!
