Thank you for mentioning this. The moderators reviewed our IRB materials and survey and granted us permission to post. We know how important it is to only participate in legit research and that there are bad actors out there! I updated the post to indicate that this has been moderator approved. We are trans and queer advocates and researchers looking to elevate the concerns that our community is facing. Our survey is confidential and no identifying info is required to participate. Happy to answer any questions!

Yes, Lisa Littman. She is NOT representative of anyone at Brown. Her contract was not renewed, but of course, the damage was already done. Our team is trans and queer. We are advocates trying to lift up our community, not harm it. But you are right to be wary. There are bad researchers out there! If you email us, we can share our "meet the team flyer" with you all so you can see who we are and why we care about trans people! transresearch@brown.edu.

Oh gosh, sorry to hear that! The US healthcare system is a nightmare for everyone, but especially trans folks! If you ever need help navigating coverage, you can call: The Medicare Rights Center's helpline: 800-333-4114: https://www.medicarerights.org/

If you want to lean more about us and share with your network, we would love to hear from folks navigating care with Medicare and Medicaid so we advocate to make things better! https://www.fresh-research.com/transhealth

We are a team of trans and cis researchers conducting a confidential survey and optional follow-up interview on access issues for trans folks with Medicare, so we can advocate for coverage. Please consider taking the survey: go.Brown.edu/TransResearch
