Hey all! You might possibly remember when I posed a question to the community about instances of actual or perceived sexual fluidity. Well, I'm in a Psych research methods class and for our final project, we've been tasked with formulating and executing a research project, so I decided to see if I could turn that curiosity into a productive use of a project!

Sexual Fluidity in the Transgender Community

I am an undergraduate Psychology student and the University of New Hampshire. For my final project, I am looking into the sexual fluidity exhibited towards transgender individuals during the time before said individuals have “come out” as trans*, and seeing if these instances are significantly different when compared to other instances of sexual fluidity.

To participate in this anonymous survey, you need to be 18 or older, and you simply need to have experienced at least one definite instance of actual or perceived sexual fluidity – that is, having been attracted to somebody that fell outside of your sex/gender preference, or having had somebody attracted to you when you fell (or were perceived to fall) outside of their sex/gender preferences.

Transgender individuals are highly encouraged to participate if at all possible, but everybody is free to contribute.

The survey is hosted here: http://www.kwiksurveys.com?s=ILNONM_620cf51a

Please pass this on to family and friends!

Hello All,

I've been sitting on this manuscript for a while, and I finally decided to just publish it myself. In general, I am all for cutting out the middle-man. I don't think there is enough fiction out there written by trans people. Memoirs, yes, but novels, not so much- particularly about the trans issues of the "facebook generation", if you will. And so I proudly present:

"Funny, cynical, tough, vulnerable, honest, deluded, sagacious, self-loving and self-loathing, Refuse is irresistible." -Mark Simpson, author of Saint Morrissey, It's A Queer World, Metrosexy.

It's cheap, and you can get an ebook or paperback. Free sample too, on the ebook site- and if you like the sample and really don't like forking over your money, shoot me and email and I'll give the book to you for free. elliottdeline@gmail.com. It's been 3 years in the making, and I just want readers!

I tagged this as controversial because 1.  it might be against the rules to self promote and 2. some of the stuff said by characters in the book might not be to everyone's taste.

But if you wanna check it out, that would be awesome.

Cheers,
E
