Hello fellow queer peoples -

We are looking for 15 (1) AMAB (2) non-binary/gender queer-identifying (3) non-minors (4) who can complete an interview and structured journaling in English. We are looking for a wide range across demographics and the group will be chosen to maximize that range. Not all people who express interest in the study will be chosen to participate in the study.

For the purposes of this study, we are using the following definition of sexual objectification:
Sexual objectification is “the experience of being treated as a body (or collection
of body parts) valued predominantly for its use to (or consumption by) others” (Flores et al., 2018; Fredrickson & Roberts, 1997, p. 174)

This is a three-part project, where you will:

• Document some sexual objectification experiences in real time – total time commitment is about one hour over the course of 3 – 6 weeks;
• Discuss with me your sexual objectification experiences, specifically how they impact your gender identity and relationship with your body – time commitment is about one hour for an online interview.
• Have the option of participating in a follow up focus group to review the findings and help the research team flesh out the results – time commitment is about 1 -2 hours to review the draft of the results and participate in the focus group.

This is a lot of work! To honor your time, you’ll receive up to $120, divided between the three tasks. Study participation is confidential, you will have the option to choose a pseudonym and we won’t connect any identifying information with your responses.

Who are we? Lee Pradell (Lee.Pradell@usu.edu) and Dr. Renee Galliher (Renee.Galliher@usu.edu) from Utah State University’s Psychology Department are the researchers for this study. This study has been reviewed and approved by our IRB (protocol #14042). If you’re interested, click this link to fill out a demographics questionnaire.

TRICON for Ethical Trans Research

We are actively involved in supporting the trans non-binary community and hope our research can be used to support this work. In accordance with the Transgender Research Informed Consent (TRICON) Disclosure Policy, we would like to provide additional information to interested AMAB non-binary people about our research. “TRICON consists of ten disclosure questions, to be repeated an answered by investigators of research on TGD populations in all announcements, communication, and social media posts that solicit study participants.” TRICON was created to “empower Transgender and Gender-Diverse (TGD) community members to make informed decisions on participation in research studies, within a historical context of decades of research that is all too often biased, defamatory, misgendering, exploitive, or non-consensual.” This and more information can be found at the Trans Policy Reform Blog (https://transpolicyreform.wordpress.com/2022/10/08/transgender-research-informed-consent-tricon-disclosure-policy-2022-update/)

Below are the required TRICON Disclosure Questions with our answers about this study:

1. What is the specific objective of the study and its intended impact on future trans lives?
2. The study aims to document the sexual objectification experiences of AMAB non-binary people through interviews and a real-time flow-chart task. This work is an extension of previous research:
3. The Sexual Objectification Experiences of Non-Binary People: Embodied Impacts and Acts of Resistance (2024)
4. Body maps depict how sexual objectification shapes non-binary people relating to their bodies (2023)
5. These studies used a sample of non-binary people and unintentionally recruited non-binary people that were read as feminine or AFAB and described sexual objectification from this position. We are therefore interested in understanding how AMAB non-binary people experience sexual objectification. This research is intended to create community with participants and researchers through individual and group interviews. The research practice, particularly the process chart component, was described by previous participants as “healing” (Pradell et al., under review). We also intend to expand and contribute to a growing body of research by trans people for other trans people. We see the potential impact in policy, clinical work, pedagogy, and research practice.
6. What is the target study population? Describe geographic scope, languages, and intersectional inclusion?
   1. We are recruiting AMAB non-binary adults who have experienced sexual objectification. We aim to recruit a heterogeneous sample across identity factors to speak to the intersectional nature of sexual objectification. This means we aim for a breadth of racial, ethnic, religious, ability, class and educational identities within our sample. As a monolingual person, we are recruiting English speaking participants. To geographically ground the findings, we are recruiting participants across the United States of America.
7. Who is/are the principal investigator/s, and what is/are the sponsoring institution/s organization/s?
   1. I, Lee Pradell (they/them), am the principal investigator. I am a fourth year Ph.D. Clinical/Counseling Psychology student studying at Utah State University (USU). Renee V. Galliher, Ph.D. (she/her) is my research mentor and oversees this study. I am conducting this research as my dissertation project, which is funded equally by the USU Psychology Department and USU College of Education.
8. How are trans scholars/researchers included in leadership of this research work?
   1. I, Lee Pradell, am a trans/non-binary scholar. Josh Parmenter (they/he) is another trans scholar working on this research project. The three other members of our coding team are Elizabeth Grace Wong (she/her), Kevin Chi (he/him), and Renee V. Galliher (she/her). They are queer, cisgender people.
9. Who is funding the study? Describe any conflicts of interest.
   1. I am conducting this research as my dissertation project, which is funded equally by the USU Psychology Department and USU College of Education. The study I proposed is approved by a committee of five researchers with Ph.D.’s who are invested in contributing to a field of rigorous, communal research. We have no other conflicts of interest to disclose.
10. Describe approval of this study by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) or equivalent authority and how TGD scholars are represented in the IRB or the oversight process.
11. This study was approved by the USU IRB (Protocol #14042) in March 2024. It went through two rounds of edits between Lee Pradell, Renee V. Galliher, and the USU IRB to follow ethical research practice guidelines. To my knowledge, the USU IRB does not currently include any TGD members. We have however shared with them the Trans Policy Reform Blog and the TRICON information outlining ethical research practice with TGD people.
12. Describe ethical practices in this research that are specific to needs of TGD subjects.
13. Our TGD participants will communicate directly with myself, a TGD person. During the process, I will check on them weekly over email about their wellbeing throughout the research process. We are including a focus group component to both increase the rigor of our research findings and connect our participants with community, which is particularly important for the TGD community.
14. Is there a cost or travel requirement, or is there compensation for participants?
15. There is no cost/travel requirement, all activities are done independently or over Zoom. For participation in this research study, participants receive $40 for completing three charting experiences and $40 for the online individual interview. If they choose to participate in the follow up focus group, they will receive $40 for the online group discussion. Thus, they can earn a total of $120 USD for completing the charting, interview, and follow up group discussion, payable either via a prepaid debit card sent by mail or an online gift card to a retailer of their choice sent by email. They will only be compensated for the portions of the study that they complete. They will be compensated at the end of their participation in the study, after completing all the components of the study they choose to.
16. Is participation in this research required for access to non-experimental affirming medical care?
17. No, participation in this study does not implicate/impact access to affirming care.
18. How will the results of this research be accessible to TGD communities through open access journals or channels?
19. Through the USU digital commons, the accepted dissertation will be posted in May 2025. Published findings will be available through journals after their acceptance. Given the peer-review process necessary to publish in academic journals, we cannot give a precise date of publication. We estimate these findings will be published by May 2026. The journals we publish in often require the author to fund open access, which is not something the USU Psychology Department has historically funded. We do however distribute our manuscripts to open access channels, such as Research Gate and the USU Digital Commons.
20. You will be contacted by myself, from lee.pradell@usu.edu, after you complete the online screening form to let you know if you are eligible for this project. I’ll notify you via email if I’ve selected you to be on this research team - if not, I’ll ask if you’d like to be contacted for future non-binary/queer research projects. If you’re interested, start by filling out the screening questionnaire: https://usu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3Uk9xU9A030I44e Thank you for your time, Lee

My name is J. Lloyd Allen. I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Social Work at Wayne State University, located in Detroit, MI. I am writing because I am currently recruiting for two studies. The first study explores the coming out experiences of lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (LBT) individuals, and its impact on their overall mental health and impact on sexual well-being. The second study explores parents reactions to learning that their children identifies as LGBT, and their initial reactions to learning that their child is LGBT, coupled with an exploration of the barriers, challenges, and successes they navigated when discussing sexual orientation and sexual behaviors.
My goals in both studies include gaining insights into the emotional, social, and psychological dimensions associated with coming out, exploring the strategies and support systems utilized during these pivotal moments, and learning about the impact that coming out has on sexual behaviors and communications. By understanding these experiences, it is my hope that I will contribute to a better understanding of the complexities surrounding coming out, and working to inform support services and resources, specifically those working with parents of LGBT individuals, and LGBT individuals.
Participant Criteria for Study One:

• Identifies as a member of the LGBT community.
• Has experienced or is currently experiencing the process of coming out.
• Engaged in at least one 20-minute conversation with at least one parent.
• Age 18 years or older.
• Willing to share personal experiences in a confidential and respectful environment.
• Identify as Black, Hispanic, or White.
• Lesbians
• Bisexual Men and Women
• Transgender men and women

Participant Criteria for Parents:

• Parent of a LGBT child
• Age 18 years or older.
• Willing to share personal experiences in a confidential and respectful environment.
• Has experienced or is currently supporting their LGBT child.
• Engaged in at least one 20-minute conversation about sexual orientation and/or sexual behavior with their child after learning that their child identifies as LGBT.

Participation Details:
Participation in this study involves:

• A confidential one-on-one interview session.
• Sharing your experiences, perspectives, and insights related to coming out, or learning of your child’s sexual orientation.
• Respectful and non-judgmental interaction.
• Your anonymity and confidentiality will be strictly maintained throughout the study.
• Paid for your participation and time in the study.

Why Participate?

• Your participation in this study will contribute to a deeper understanding of the coming out process among LGBT individuals, and provide insights regarding the experiences of parents of LGBT children. By sharing your experiences, you can help shed light on the challenges, triumphs, and nuances of this journey, ultimately aiding in the development of more inclusive and supportive environments for the LGBTQ+ community.

How to Participate?

• If you meet the criteria and are interested in participating, please contact me at gm1306@wayne.edu, and let me know which study you are interested in participating in. You can participate in both studies, if you meet the criteria for both. I will provide you with further details about the study(ies) and schedule a convenient time for the interview.

RESEARCH OPPORTUNITY: The Intersection of Gender, Culture, and Race: Its Significance to the Non-Binary and Gender Non-conforming Experience (Participation Incentive)

Hello, my name is Adrianna Lopez (She/They). I am an undergraduate student at Monmouth College with a B.A. in Sociology and Anthropology. I am reaching out to r/lgbtstudies community with an exciting opportunity to contribute to groundbreaking research that aims to unravel the intricate tapestry of the Non-Binary and Gender Non-Conforming (ENBY/GNC) experience, with a focus on the pivotal intersections of Gender, Culture, and Race. In a world that is continually evolving, it is crucial to understand and appreciate the diverse perspectives that shape individual identities. Like many others in the LGBTQIA+ community, the Non-Binary and Gender Non-Conforming community experiences challenging traditional notions of gender.

Why Participate?

• Amplify Your Voice: This study provides a platform for you to share your personal narrative, shedding light on the nuanced ways in which gender, culture, and race intersect in your life. • Catalyze Change: By participating, you contribute to a growing body of knowledge that can inform policymakers, educators, and communities about the needs and challenges faced by the NB/GNC community, fostering a more inclusive and supportive environment. • Build a Bridge of Understanding: Your story has the power to foster empathy and understanding among diverse groups of people, breaking down barriers and fostering a more inclusive society.

What Does the Study Encompass?

Our research seeks to explore: • The ways in which cultural backgrounds influence the experiences of NB/GNC individuals. • The intersections of race and gender identity, and the unique challenges and triumphs faced by individuals navigating these intersections. • How societal expectations and norms impact the mental health and well-being of NB/GNC individuals.

Confidentiality and Ethical Considerations:

We prioritize your privacy and ensure that all information shared will be treated with the utmost confidentiality. Our research adheres to the highest ethical standards, and you have the right to withdraw at any point without consequences. Regarding the data, your data will be utilized based on responses received from interview subjects. What is of interest in this research is how a person's connection to and expression of their gender identity are influenced by their unique cultural experiences. Furthermore, how people feel about their treatment and perception in a heteronormative culture, and how these interactions relate to racial background. Keeping this in mind, I will examine the replies to see if there are any trends that might help me reach a general conclusion on my primary research topic. Once data is collected and analyzed, it will be destroyed. No personal identifying information will be kept.

How to Get Involved:

If you are interested in being part of this transformative study, please read the information below, there you will find my contact information and the credibility of my research. If interested, there, we can schedule a time to meet through video meeting. Your participation will make a significant impact on our collective understanding of the ENBY/GNC experience. MUST BE 18+ TO PARTICIPATE Thank you for considering this opportunity to contribute to a more inclusive and enlightened world. Together, let us empower change through knowledge.

This study is open to all types of art (fanfic, poetry, visual, drag, etc.) and beliefs about AI.

You can earn $25 for participating in a 1 hour interview.

If you are interested, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/1Kkh3XhSKqoU1uYLA

This study was approved by my university’s ethics board.

I also plan on sharing my findings from this research back to this subreddit :)

Hello! My name is Kyle Jozsa, and I am a doctoral candidate studying clinical health psychology at Northwestern University’s Institute for Sexual and Gender Minority Health and Wellbeing (ISGMH). I’m recruiting for my dissertation study, looking for participants who are:

• Cis men
• 18-29 years old
• Single
• Not straight
• Users of dating/hookup apps for queer men (e.g., Grindr, Sniffies, Scruff, etc.)
• Living in the United States

My study looks at how queer men’s mood and use of “the apps” interact, and how those two things together might inform HIV/sexual health risk. Ultimately, I hope to learn how we might improve sexual health education and interventions for queer men in a way that better considers these super-common online experiences.

Participating in the study means completing a 20-30 minute “baseline” survey; then completing very short (less than 5 minutes), daily surveys for 60 days. I pay $1 per completed daily survey, plus two $15 bonuses for completing 75% and 90% (i.e., 45 and 54 surveys, respectively) of these daily surveys; thus, participants can earn up to $90 over 60 days if they complete all daily surveys.

If you’re interested in participating, you can see if you’re eligible by filling out this brief screening survey: https://redcap.link/jozsaf31

If you know of others who might be interested in participating, please feel free to share! Free publicity is the only kind I have as a grad student :)

Finally, if you want to learn more about the study or have questions I can answer, please feel free to DM! Thanks for checking out my post!

Participants are wanted for a research study on substance use within the LGBTQ+ community in the UK, conducted by London South Bank University.

This study aims to capture information about substance use within the LGBTQ+ community across the UK to better understand patterns of substance use and factors that may be associated with seeking help. This study aims to not just look at the community as a whole, but to also focus on potential differences in substance use and help seeking between those with different gender and sexual identities.

The study will consist of a series of questions and questionnaires covering the following topics: sexual and gender identity, the use of the following addictive substances: alcohol, nicotine, cannabis, cocaine, MDMA, amphetamine, and heroin, mental well-being, and attitudes about seeking help. This should take approximately 15 minutes to complete.

Hi everyone, my name is Louise, and I am undertaking research for my Psychology Master's. I am looking to recruit participants (aged 18-24) to take a survey to better understand the factors influencing young people's help-seeking behaviour. This is LBGTQ+ inclusive study!

You can click this Survey Link to access the survey.

It takes 10 minutes to complete, and at the end, you can enter a draw to win a free set of AirPods!
There is a great need for this research because we know that young people are the cohort that is most likely to develop a mental disorder, and yet the cohort which is least likely to reach out to get help for their mental ill health. The results will be very important in helping to identify the kinds of information about mental health and help-seeking that parents and young people might find useful.
Id appreciate your participation!:)

Purpose of the Research: The purpose of this study is to examine whether your personal beliefs influence decisions made within the context of the Canadian criminal justice system, with a particular focus on sexual assault. This data is being collected as part of an independent study project.

Procedures: This study requires you to read a scenario that describes a sexual interaction between two persons, and to pretend you are a member of the criminal justice system tasked with making decisions about the incident. You also will be given a series of online questionnaires to complete. Some of the questionnaires will ask you basic questions about your personal background (e.g., have you witnessed or been the victim of a sexual assault?), and others will assess your personal beliefs. Participation will take approximately one hour to complete. Please ensure that you have this amount of time available before agreeing to participate. If you do not have enough time, then please exit this page and consider participating when you do have enough time or participating in other research advertisements. Responses from at least 900 individuals will be obtained to examine overall patterns of associations among responses to the measures.

This description contains graphic details of a sexual nature describing an interaction between two acquaintances. The interaction involves an alleged sexual assault. If you are uncomfortable with this subject matter or this type of information, you are free not to participate or to withdraw at any time without any negative repercussions. Please do not participate in this study if sexual violence is a sensitive topic for you.

Goal: The purpose of this study is to examine connections between stress, relationship satisfaction, and styles of conflict resolution within the relationships of both cis- and transgender individuals (KPU Ethics Approval #REB 2023-40). There is a distinct lack of knowledge regarding how, or even if, cis- and transgender people differ in these metrics. Your participation would help us determine these unknown facets of romantic life, which could hopefully lead to a better understanding of how to effectively handle relationship conflict and inform therapy techniques.

Procedures: If you participate in this study, you will first answer some questions about yourself (i.e., your age, sexual orientation, and relationship status) on the survey platform Qualtrics. You will then be asked about the amount of stress you feel in your life, your personal feelings towards the quality and satisfaction you feel within your romantic relationship, and finally, about how you typically handle conflict within your relationship. This study will take between 10-20 minutes of your time.

Eligibility: Participants must be at least 18 years of age or older and must currently be in a committed, romantic relationship. All identities and orientations welcome.

Hi Everyone!

My name is Jamarl. I am a counselling student at the University of East London (UEL). I am conducting my dissertation research on the counselling experiences of Transgender and Non-binary people of colour or similar terms that you choose for yourself, for example ethnic minority group (18 years old and above). Participation in this study involves a one-to-one interview with myself, with the option of having the interview conducted in a secure space on UEL Stratford campus or online via Microsoft Teams on a day and time suitable for you.

I am a cis-gender, gay black man and I have been committed to understanding and advocating for the needs of intersectional LGBTQ+ communities. This has prompted me to explore the experiences of trans and non-binary individuals. I particularly welcome those with intersecting identities to take part and you do not need to be based in the UK. This study has been ethically approved by The School of Psychology at the University of East London.

If you are interested in participating, please contact me on my email: u2150479@uel.ac.uk

Thank you for taking the time to read this!

Hiya everyone, I’m running a study that looks at how Gender Affirming HRT affects various aspects of sexuality and identity. Both me and my supervisor are trans, so if anyone who is trans (or non-binary) and either planning to start HRT at some point or is already on HRT would be willing to participate that would be amazing! (We especially need participants who have not yet started HRT but would like to in future).

We invite trans individuals who are fluent in English, 18 years old or older, and have either commenced or plan on commencing gender affirming hormone therapy to participate in a research study. We are particularly interested in hearing from individuals who have not yet commenced gender affirming hormone therapy as this group is underrepresented in our research. The purpose of the study is to explore the relationship between gender affirming hormone therapy and various aspects of sexuality and identity. Participation will involve completing an online survey, which takes approximately 15 minutes. This study has been approved by the Faculty Research Ethics Committee at Swansea University. If you would like to participate or have further questions, please see the following link for the participant information sheet.

Hi everyone!

I am doing my doctorate in psychology and am based at the Centre for Appearance Research at the University of the West of England. My research is focused on understanding the experiences of LGBTQIA+ young people with appearance-affecting conditions, injuries, or treatment effects (e.g., scars, limb differences, skin conditions, hair loss, cleft lip) and their thoughts and feelings about these experiences. Taking part involves completing one anonymous online survey (20-30 minutes) and anyone who is aged 15-24 years and self-identifies as being part of an LGBTQIA+ community and as having an appearance-affecting condition, injury, or treatment effect can take part.

I am a queer White woman and the wider supervisory team consists of 3 White women who identify as queer and straight with lived experience of visible and invisible disability and visible difference. We particularly welcome those with intersecting identities to take part.

This study has received full ethical approval from the University of the West of England’s Faculty Research Ethics Committee (reference CHSS.23.08.001) and as a thank you for taking part, everyone who participates will be invited to enter a prize draw, with the chance of winning a £25 shopping voucher. For more information or to take part, email me at emma2.waite@live.uwe.ac.uk, scan the QR code, or follow this link: https://go.uwe.ac.uk/LGBTQIAVisibleDifference
