Hello everyone! My name is Lizzy Combs (she/her/hers) and I am a doctoral student at the College of Education at the University of South Carolina located in Columbia, South Carolina. I am recruiting for a LGBTQ+ health research survey that examines strengths-based factors such as coping strategies, individual resilience protective factors, and family resilience protective factors on members of the LGBTQ+ community, especially as it relates to substance use. I hope that the results of this study will inform counseling and other mental health treatment practices as well as treatment outcomes for LGBTQ+ individuals.

What is your relationship with your own nonbinary identity?

Hello! We are recruiting nonbinary individuals (at least 18 years old and currently residing in the U.S.) for a short psychology study about your relationship with and perceptions of your own gender identity and gender expression. This study should only take about 8-10 minutes. Please share with any other nonbinary people you know!

This is a brief (?) writing on the topic of gender. How do we make sense of it? What is “gender”, anyway?

First, we should acknowledge the existence of people who find great discomfort with their body. Whether it be genitalia, or other features which are typically associated with one “sex” or another. Maybe this discomfort is so great that a person has a desire to undergo processes to change their body, genitalia, etc., to resemble a typical person of their “gender” more. Maybe there are degrees of discomfort. Some people may be greatly horrified by the way their body looks at any present moment, while others may simply wish for their body to look differently because it feels right. Regardless, I think there is some component of desiring a different body which is key to being transgender.

Now, does a transgender woman have to have a strong component of “femininity”, or vice versa, for them to truly be the gender they are? Not necessarily, I would think. There are some trans women who have more “masculine” traits (such as wanting to build muscle), and some trans men who have more “feminine” traits (wanting to present in a feminine manner while having the body of a man).

How do we make sense of this? Not to borrow a common conservative talking point, but what is a man, and what is a woman? Perhaps a “man” is simply a person who wants to have the body typical of AMAB people, and vice versa.

Wondering what the rest of you think? How do you think we should make sense of this topic as a whole?

Friends, I'm conducting a study (IRB approved) on masculinity. Check it out!

What is it to be masculine today? How did the phrase "toxic masculine" make its way in? How have you dealt with it in the past? If you're interested in this, click the link below. All genders welcome.

We want to hear from the next generation of trans and non-binary Canadians. You’re the experts of your experiences, and we’re here to listen.

The Canadian Trans Youth Health Survey is a national survey of trans, non-binary, and gender diverse Canadian youth ages 14-25 that runs every five years. The study is managed by the Stigma and Resilience Among Vulnerable Youth Centre with co-investigators across the country. Results help researchers identify health disparities, theorize helpful interventions, and describe trends in gender diverse health, values, identity, and experience. This research is core to developing successful advocacy and change in our social and health care systems.

Hi yall! I've been questioning for a little bit. I was wondering if it was possible to identify as both genderfluid AND bigender at the same time, or if they contradict each other.

This sub was my first foray in radical acceptance that got me to where I am today. Our community needs positive stories and it needs encouragement that is deeper than physical transition timelines. I hope you'll pass it along to someone who might need it and to someone who has a little light to share!
