Trans Healthcare Survey Looking For Participants

I had this sent to me by Sarah Sloane, fellow sex educator and a friend of mine. Her friend, Ann Coakley, is doing this survey, like many others currently out there, to work on improving healthcare for trans folk. If you fit in this demographic and are willing, please take a moment to participate in [...]

Study for Queer Women & Gender Diverse People

A cohort of mine from Widener University is behind this study, and I’m hoping to get lots of women and gender diverse people (who are/have been sexually intimate with women identified people) to participate. There is very little research done on queer sexuality, especially by people who recognize the difference between women, trans (men), gender [...]

Re-Post: Survey for Engaged Couples of ALL Orientations

Passing this along again, as she needs a few more couples to complete her research. If you’re engaged and planning a marriage/wedding/commitment ceremony/celebration of LOVE in the next 12 months, please drop this researcher a line and help her out.

Study for Transfolk Who Are Parents

This is not my study, I’m just happy to pass it along for anyone who feels it applies to them, and would like to participate. Feel free to repost!

I am currently looking for participants to be interviewed for my research study on Transmen who are parents and what methods they chose to use [...]

Call for Proposals: Disability in America: Voices of a New Generation

Another call for submissions, this one for an anthology on disability (different than the ones I’m working one). Please pass this along. I, of all people, know how hard it can be to get submissions.

This year, the disability community is celebrating the 20th [...]

Lesbians Raise Better Behaved Kids

Who’d have thunk?

According to this recent study done by Dr. Nanette Gartrell and published in the Journal Of Pediatrics purports that children of lesbian parents are better behaved.

Now, one would think that they’d be fairly on par with straight parents, or single parents, but according to this research, using Child Behavior Checklist, and [...]

What to do about LUBEWhat to do about LUBE

There is a new lube study out there, that the media has really picked up on. According to it, and the media, water-based lube used during anal sex is dangerous, and IF one is to use lube at all, they should use silicone.

I think that this study, and the hype around it, is dangerous [...]

Call for Participants: Sexually Able

Hey all!

As you may remember, I was working (and still am) on an anthology about sexuality and disability, tentatively titled Sexual Ability. I posted a Call for Submissions, I had people repost it, but got very few essays.

For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out why. Similar anthology calls were getting dozens [...]

Stalled – An Anthology on Gender Non-Conformity

Are you gender non-conforming? Perhaps you’re queer, trans, a genderfucker, a gender bender, a cross dresser, a drag king or queen, or someone else whose gender does not conform with that society says that it shoud. Big group of people, right?

There is a call for submissions out now for an anthology on gender non-conformity, [...]

Trans Bodies, Trans Selfs Looking for VoicesTrans Bodies, Trans Selves Looking for Voices

I had this forwarded to me, and I think that it is absolutely wonderful that someone is doing this kind of research. Instead of just looking at numbers, or making assumptions, they are actually looking for the voices of the trans/genderqueer/gender variant communities, and their parents, and their partners. Please, if you can, and fall [...]
