We have been asked to post this study. I'm an undergraduate university student in my third year completing a BSc in Anthropology. I'm working on my dissertation, looking at languages with grammatical gender (e.g. languages like Italian and Spanish, nouns are either masculine or feminine). I'm curious if this affects/bothers people with gender identities outside the typical binary of male and female, like non-binary or transgender identities. Using this forum, I would be very grateful if anyone could answer the 5 questions I have put together in a Google form, they are open-ended questions, and you can be as brief or detailed as you want/comfortable with! All responses will also be kept anonymous. As you can probably guess, I came to online forums because finding participants in person is difficult. Talking about gender identities, I understand, can be very personal, so this online anonymised format can be safer. :) If anyone is also particularly interested in this topic, it would be awesome to message one-on-one and do the Google form survey. Having one and one interviews would also be good research! But NONE of this is compulsory, and only if anyone is interested and doesn't mind helping me out and can do so.

@Mia MarieI found this Here are critical resources to help transgender seniors face the challenges of growing older - LGBTQ Nation As far as financial aid I came up empty. :( I'm sorry. I can only imagine what you are going through. -

@Adrianna Daniellecongratulations to you and your boyfriend! Hopefully a future wedding in the future! @WillowI'm sorry about that he passed away. He sounded like a role model that others should follow. @MmindyI'm sorry about your head cold! Hopefully it won't last too long and hope for good rest and recovery. -

Good morning Mia, This is a great question, and I'm looking forward to the input from others. Mindy🌈🐛🏳️⚧️🦋 -

I see more and more postings with what the LGBTQ support organizations are doing and I see less and less about helping the older generation of us. All I really see is them wanting to help transgender youths and no matter how many times I ask for help, they tell me they can't help or they tell me the office I contacted only works with the youth only. Is there an organization that helps older transgender people? All I find when I do a search turns out with nothing more than talking about trans youths. I feel as though us older trasn folks are being left out. I applied for financial help in a form of a grant, twice, and was turned down with no explanations of why. They did ask me to help go over applications which told me I was automatically denied. Really doesn't seem fair, does it? -

Require students to use bathrooms that align with the gender they were assigned at birth Prohibit transgender girls in seventh grade or older from participating in girls sports or other girls-only activities Ban gender-affirming health care — including surgery or hormone treatment — for transgender students under age 18, even if parents consent or the treatment is recommended by a doctor Require schools to notify parents if students change their pronouns or otherwise signal they identify as a gender other than what’s on their official student records Doesn't look like it "protects" anybody. It actually is about restricting trans kids rights. The ways politicians name their bills etc. is a farce. Most of the time they do the opposite of what they're called. -

Thank you @VickySGVfor locating and posting this document. I'm saving it as a PDF on my laptop. I'll move it to my iPad later. Mindy🌈🐛🏳️⚧️🦋 -

There's a lot of bad information out there. People like the sensational stuff, whether it's true or not. Too many people live in a news/opinion bubble. My ex's late husband kept Fox News on 24/7. It was always there in the background of their life. There is something about "trans" stuff every day, and always negative. -

Good morning everyone, Head Cold and body aches are reduced today. @April Marie I'm glad you're feeling better too. Good luck timing the lawn care with the weather. @Willow It's good to hear that your wife is on the mend, and you may make it to Salt Lake City. I'm sadden to here about Tattoo Tom. This is very good news @Adrianna Danielle @Ashley0616 I hope you find the right hair removal service in a convenient location. I'm on my second cup of coffee, and we're expecting rain this afternoon and evening. Hugs, Mindy🌈🐛🏳️⚧️🦋 -

Well, I can not say good morning today. The world has lost a loving, caring man that gave his all for others that are suffering. I do not have details, however Tattoo Tom of Stillbrave Childhood Cancer Organization has gone on to be with his daughter Shala and my Granddaughter Daphne and all the other kids with cancer and their families he tried to help. You can Google the organization and it will tell you his story and what they do. He used to run in Ultra marathons to raise money. He was scheduled to run in the Moab 240 later this year. Each mile is dedicated to a child. You can see Daphne’s story on mile 233 and Shala is always the last mile. if you have a few dollars to spare please make a donation. The work of 5he organization will continue but it will not be the same without Tom. Well on a better note, I learned last night that I can attend the Salt Lake City gathering of the Presbyterian Church USA in Salt Lake City. As a guest of our minister. If I can get there I am going to try to go. I am just waiting to hear from my son to learn if there are blackout days around the date I need to be there. And I realize the bigger issue could be getting home so I do have th weigh the risk against the opportunity. Thank you all for your concerns and prayers regarding my wife’s recent back surgery and my concerns about my voice. My wife is definitely on the mend. well I guess I need to get a move on it is later that I realized. Willow
