Academic research in the resilience of transgender and gender diverse people


EllaRose

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

 

Myself and my research partner, Joseph, are currently conducting a research project that investigates the resilience processes of transgender and gender diverse adults and how these may be harnessed in suicide prevention work. 

We are seeking participants to complete our survey which asks questions about self-kindness, mental health experiences, experiences of discrimination and suicide. Questions regarding suicide will be pre-empted with a content warning and you will have the ability to leave at any time. 

 

If this interests you, please consider filling out our 15 minute survey: https://tgdresilience.questionpro.com.au/ 

 

Full details are listed below and contact details are available on the attached poster. 

 

Research details: 

  • Participation is open worldwide for those who are 18+ and are transgender, gender diverse, non-binary, or any other gender identity that is not cisgender
  • The survey takes around 15 minutes to fill out
  • Participation is completely anonymous so there is no way of identifying the individual when the survey is submitted.
  • The survey can be completed online, anywhere, at any time. 
  • The data from this survey will contribute valuable knowledge that has the potential to improve psychological mental health care for transgender and gender diverse people.

 

About us: We are two Psychology student researchers based in Australia who are currently conducting research on how resilience processes impact mental health outcomes in transgender and gender diverse people. One of us identifies as non-binary/gender fluid and the other is a cisgender ally. We are both active members of the wider LGBTIQA+ community and care about how our research may improve mental health care for trans and gender diverse people.

Done.  Odd to write lesbian but since I’ve lived with my wife for over 50 years , 40 as a male with transition that changed and I’m still attracted to females not males.

 

Hugs,

Done -- From the phrasing of some questions I could tell the survey creators were Cis gender, but I am used to that.

I know, right?  Sometimes all it takes to get me do some self-reflection is simply to ask me a question.

Done.

Some of my answers may be due to the fact that I questioned and trasitioned when older, I've been out for only a few months and I have not encountered many of the situations the suvey asks about.

I feel the answers can be better analized knowing how long the person has been aware of being transgender/gender nonconforming and how long they'be been out

Hi everyone,

 

Thanks for your feedback. Your participation is greatly appreciated.

 

There is no requirement for people to announce that they have participated, but reading your posts is great feedback nonetheless. 

 

I am really glad that so many of you are getting something out of the self-reflective process ?

 

Kind regards,

Ella

Hi Gabriel,

I appreciate your feedback regarding the time the missing contextualisation of the time when someone may have transitioned. This is a very worthwhile point and we will be looking to add a question about this in future studies. Thanks for taking the time to provide this feedback.

 

All the best,

Ella

Hi Vicky,

 

Thanks for your feedback, this is a very valid point that is all too common within psychological research.

Although I am cisgender, my research partner identifies as non-binary/gender fluid and they were involved in every stage of research design and survey development. However, as we had to use some formal measures as part of our survey that were designed by other people, we had no control over the phrasing of many of the questions unfortunately.

 

Thanks again for engaging in our study and for your feedback.

 

Kind regards,

Ella

      Incredible news for transgender and abortion providers and patients in Maine. Despite violent threats, Gov. Janet Mills of Maine has signed a sanctuary bill into law. It even enshrines WPATH Standards of Care as protected by Maine.   https://twitter.com/ErinInTheMorn/status/1782894991368462520/photo/1

      Basically my only source of validation is from close friends who know I'm trans 😅   I'm not a very masculine-looking guy in general, and I've had to stop binding due to pain, so strangers and physical validation aren't things I can get. My family still uses she/her pronouns and female terms with me, so there's not much validation at home, either.   I'm grateful I have friends that are willing to use my pronouns and such, though. It makes me feel a lot better.

      This is a question I ask myself all the time. When I'm out I hope that I can some what pass

      I use my  chosen name online and when ever I can. I play some online game and only go by that name. That is how everyone there know me. Yes it does feel great to be called the name you prefer.

      I was ten years old when my mom walked in on me frolicking around my room dressed up in her bra, panties, and some pantyhose. I had been doing this in the privacy of my bedroom for a little while now so I had my own little stash box I kept full of different panties, bras, etc ... of hers. My mom's underwear was so easy for me to come by and she was a very attractive woman, classy, elegant. Well when she walked in on me, she looked at me with disgust and said to me... "If I wanted to run around like mommy's little girl instead of mommy's little boy, then she was going to treat me like mommy's little girl."  She left my bedroom after telling me NOT to change or get dressed or anything and returned with a few of her work skirts and blouses and such. She made me model off her outfits for her and I have to admit ... I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. I felt so sexy, and feminine. And she knew I loved it.  She told me we can do this every weekend if I'd like. It would be OUR little secret.

      The usual social ways, of course.  Taking care of my partners and stepkids, being involved in my community.  That makes me feel good about my role.   As for physical validation and gender... probably the most euphoric experience is sex.  I grew up with my mother telling me that my flat and boyish body was strange, that my intersex anatomy was shameful, that no man would want me. So experiencing what I was told I could never have is physical proof that I'm actually worth something.

      <Moderator hat on>  I think that, at this point we need to get the thread back onto the topic, which is the judge's ruling on the ballot proposition.  If there is more to be said on the general principles of gendered spaces etc., please discuss them, carefully and respectfully, in separate threads. <Moderator hat off>
    • Abigail Genevieve
      People who have no understanding of transgender conditions should not be making policy for people dealing with it. Since it is such a small percentage of the population, and each individual is unique, and their circumstances are also unique, each situation needs to be worked with individually to see that the best possible solution is implemented for those involved. 
    • Abigail Genevieve
      No.  You are getting stuck on one statement and pulling it out of context.   Trans kids have rights, but so do non-trans kids.  That conflict is best worked out in the individual situation. 
    • MaeBe
      I get the concept, I believe. You're trying to state that trans kids need to or should be excluded from binary gender spaces and that you acknowledge that answers to accommodate those kids may not be found through policy. I disagree with the capability of "penetration" as being the operative delimiter in the statement, however. I contest this statement is poorly chosen at best and smacks of prejudice at worst. That it perpetuates certain stereotypes, whether that was the intent or not.   Frankly, all kids should have the right to privacy in locker rooms, regardless of gender, sexuality, or anatomy. They should also have access to exercise and activities that other kids do and allow them to socialize in those activities. The more kids are othered, extracted, or barred from the typical school day the more isolated and stigmatized they become. That's not healthy for anyone, the excluded for obvious reasons and the included for others--namely they get to be the "haves" and all that entails.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Context.  Read the context.  Good grief.
    • MaeBe
      Please don't expect people to read manifold pages of fiction to understand a post.   There was a pointed statement made, and I responded to it. The statement used the term penetration, not "dissimilar anatomy causing social discomfiture", or some other reason. It was extended as a "rule" across very different social situations as well, locker and girl's bedrooms. How that term is used in most situations is to infer sexual contact, so most readers would read that and think the statement is that we "need to keep trans girl's penises out of cis girls", which reads very closely to the idea that trans people are often portrayed as sexual predators.   I understand we can't always get all of our thoughts onto the page, but this doesn't read like an under-cooked idea or a lingual short cut.

      I shopped online in the beginning of transition. I had great success with SHEIN and Torrid!
