Research: Autistic and Transgender/Gender fluid/Gender variant LOOKING for VOLUNTEERS


JulieLuk

Recommended Posts

 

Hello!

 

My name is Julie and I am from the Czech Republic. In this moment, I am conducting a post-graduate research that looks into autism and gender dysphoria. The first phase of the research showed further evidence of higher level of gender dysphoria in persons with autism in comparison with a neurotypical group. The second phase wants to look deeper into this topic by interviews with real people with real stories.

 

Who can participate? For the second phase of the research, I am looking for volunteers who were officially diagnosed with autism/Asperger’s syndrome. You must be over 16 years of age and you are transgender, gender fluid, variant or you have simply difficulties with understanding your gender identity.

 

What would be your task in this study? I would like to have an interview with you about this topic (for example your own gender perception, perception of gender roles, the development of gender identity). The interview will take approximately 45-60 mins (it may vary) and it can be done either via Skype/Meet or via email (I would send you questions and you would write answers).

 

What more should you know? For the analysis purpose, the interview must be recorded. However, all information will be anonymised and data are going to be used only for the research purpose and recordings will be destroyed after publishing the research. In the published paper there won’t be mentioned a real name and other information that can be sensitive. You can always stop the interview, if you do not feel comfortable.

I would be over the moon if you were a part of this research!

 

In case you would like to participate or to get more info, please contact me: [email protected] or [email protected]

 

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hello Julie,

 

Welcome to TransgenderPulse.  There might be a few here who are autistic but offhand, I don't recall who they are. I do wish you well and hope that your study is a success.

I could possibly be a very good subject for this.  I had been diagnosed with Asperger's a long time ago, and I am trans. I mean, why else would I be here on this forum.  I have a lot of unique views on the subject as I spent a long time coming to a place where I would be capable of not only discussing who I am but understanding it from apparently opposite brainwaves.

I taught myself how to be normally social through hundreds of thousands of self-analysis and self-work.  I'm finally becoming able to understand professionalism for myself and feel as though I have finally come to a workable space that I can move forward with my life.  I have heard it suggested before that autistic/asperger's individuals seems to have a connection with being trans.

If you want to interview me I would be happy to set up a time, what method are you using for this? A video chat?

I hope that the research may indicate whether the variable under investigation show a "generational increase", from decades past to present.  Based some things that I've read and conversations with a old colleague, I suspect the investigation will show an increase in incidence over time (possibly even geometric?).  

 

Best wishes in your research endeavors.

      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>

      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

      I wore an olive corduroy coverall dress with a navy blue shirt underneath.

      @LittleSamCongratulations on one of the biggest decisions. Looking forward to your progress. 
    • Ivy
      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.
    • Ashley0616
      You're welcome. I'm here quite often if you need me.

      Yeah, that is the point.  And of course they can be proud of themselves for saving humanity.   Yeah.  That would be scary.  I'd find a bush somewhere like our GOP governor candidate recommends.  So far I've gotten away with the women's.  I've been told I pass better than I realize.  But it would only take one a55h0le.   This is all so stupid.  I mean, who gets off on hanging out in a bathroom?
    • Ashley0616
      Oh yes. It was not fun cleaning it up but he is better.
    • FinnyFinsterHH
      Thank you! 
    • missyjo
      sound  nice ...I been using a sleep bra with soft forms from knitted knockers..send a donation if you use them..I just sent my preferred size etc..works ok..gives my chest break from silicone touching..   how far back should I look to see about the ones you're using from Susan?   hugs
