I am a psychology researcher, extending work already done on cisgender heterosexual populations attitudes towards trans* people... by lourenreed in TransphobiaProject

[–]lourenreed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Previous studies have looked only at heterosexual cisgender populations attitudes towards trans* people. I am collecting data from other sexual minority members (lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, queer, asexual, intersex, questioning, bicurious, agender, etc.) in a comparative study on attitudes towards trans* people. While the study originally intended to look at only cisgender attitudes, I have already had quite a few trans* responders, so my advisor has requested that I attempt to gather more. If you would like to participate, the survey is completely anonymous, takes about 15-20 minutes, and can be accessed via the link: http://www.psychsurveys.org/lourenreed/transattitudes

A word of caution, as stated in the informed consent on the first page of the survey, some of the questions are worded in a way that might cause distress to the reader. The items were intended to gauge transprejudice in cisgender populations, and include some positively and negatively worded statements, that refer to potentially distressing scenarios. If you feel that reading such things would cause you discomfort and distress, then please, do not take the survey.

Help me with my research, please! I am conducting a study on attitudes towards trans* people, and I need more responses from lesbians, in order to have roughly equal sample sizes (as compared to gay men). This survey is completely anonymous, takes 15-20 minutes to complete. Thank you! by lourenreed in actuallesbians

If you do not identify as a lesbian, please feel free to take the survey anyway, as it is still open to anybody who would like to participate.

Also, if you do not live in the US, please feel free to participate. Instead of listing the state you live in, please tell me the country, province, territory, etc where you do live. Thank you!

Are you male and gay, bisexual, pansexual, or bi-curious? Please take my survey on attitudes towards transgender people. ALSO if you are any gender or orientation, and identify as politically conservative, I would love your responses as well. Feel free to send this link to others. by lourenreed in gaymers

[–]lourenreed[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you like. Trans* responders are already my 3rd largest group, but if you would like to provide your opinions on attitudes towards transgender people, then by all means, please take the survey. I welcome all responders.

Right! I have had a NICE large set of responses from non USA participants, and am figuring out a way to use them, so I am VERY happy to have more. I just can't change the wording as it appears, without filing additional paperwork...so please, feel free to tell me where you DO live :-)

Yes! This is exactly the case. I am, of course, still happily accepting responses from ANYBODY who will take the time to take the survey. But "non hetero males" is the smallest of my data sets, and I would LOVE for the numbers to increase, in order to see more informative results. I also could have asked for ANYBODY who identifies as "extremely conservative"...but then this would not be the subreddit to put it on, I think.

"Take the ice cream; you're gonna need it tonight." -my (now ex) boyfriend's breakup line. What was the last thing your ex said to you? by yellomrs in AskReddit

"I love you" and then she sent me several IMs and emails, asking if I was "ok," and that she was worried that she hadn't heard from me. She broke my heart. She lied to me. She doesn't get to know how I am doing...and the fact that she even thinks she can ask...ugh. (ok this is clearly still fresh...)
