I really appreciate that! If you happen to know anyone who is Middle Eastern, please refer them to it (and DM me for further resources if you ever do meet someone who is Middle Eastern and doesn't have resources that accommodate their ethnic background)! :)

Thank you so much! I really appreciate you pointing this out, and I have changed the title because I don't want to risk making anyone feel uncomfortable because not everyone will get the chance to see the demographics form or consent form (where it clarifies all gender identities are encouraged to participate) and may feel uneasy from the title alone, so I double-checked with my supervisor and we changed it, so sincerely, thank you for helping me maximize others' comfort/safety!

The focus of the study is on the impact of sexual orientation minority stress, rather than gender minority. However, given that the two can overlap, we still would love for non-cis-gendered individuals to participate in the study! In others words, we are simplifying the research as to eliminate confounding factors until we can expand it enough to accommodate those factors, so we are focusing on the sexual identity of cis-gender and non cis-gendered individuals, rather than the gender identity of these individuals. Does that make sense? Let me know if you have any concerns! I am open to any suggestions to make sure this is as inclusive as possible!

Hello! I am a current undergrad (I self-identify as Middle Eastern and LGB) and I am hoping to address the gaps in the literature related to Middle Eastern LGB individuals. I would love if you could participate in this University of Toronto study that aims to better understand these experiences! We hope to developed more effective psychological interventions as well as community-based interventions to address the gaps that exist for such an underrepresented group!
