I’m a senior at Otterbein University who is desperately trying to finish my Honors thesis so I can graduate. I’m a Psychology and Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies double major (with an Equine minor, but that has no bearing on my study). My study is on sex and gender difference in mental rotation.

This study isn’t the best, but I’m hoping to use it to increase trans awareness at Otterbein. The study consists of a mental rotation task, questions about hormonal medication usage, and Personal Attributes Questionnaire. It takes about 20 minutes to complete.

To complete my study, I need 40 trans* participants (transgender, transsexual, genderqueer, etc). The first 40 trans* participants will receive a $5 Amazon gift certificate. Currently, only three people have signed up for the gift certificates, so there are plenty left.

You can access my study at the link below:

If you could help me by distributing my study to any trans* folks who wouldn’t mind helping me out, I would greatly appreciate it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

IRB approval number is HS # 11/12-23a.

Ariel Baumwell a graduate student in the Gender and Women’s Studies Department at UW-Madison and a Student Patient Advocate for the Center for Patient Partnerships is looking for participants for a research study.  You are receiving this email because you are an organization which has transgender and LGBT members or are an individual who may be interested in the study.  Your email address was obtained via a google search for transgender related organizations.  If this is something your group may be interested in would you be willing to forward this to your list serve or include this announcement in any monthly newsletter your organization provides?

This study is about transphobia in the health care system and how people who identify somewhere on the transgender spectrum navigate the health care system.  If you take part in this study, you would answer a confidential online questionnaire which would take 10-15 minutes to complete or a 15-20 minute phone interview.  To be able to take part in this study, you must live in the U.S, be 18 years of age or older, identify somewhere along the transgender spectrum, and have visited a health care provider.

If you are interested in participating or have any questions about the study, please email Ariel Baumwell at Baumwell@wisc.edu.

The Trans* Day of Remembrance is held in November each year to memorialize those who were killed due to anti-transgender hatred or prejudice. Although not every person represented during the Day of Remembrance self-identified as trans*, each was a victim of violence based on bias or prejudice against transgender people.
