We have received a request from a student researching the experiences of teens men. If you are able to help, please contact her.
My name is Gillian Fitzsimmons, and I am a student at the University of Edinburgh conducting research on transmen’s experiences during the perinatal period. For this research I would like to interview individuals who identify as a male and have carried and birthed a child. During the interview, which will last between 30-90 minutes, you will be encouraged to share with me, in your own words, your experiences of being a transgender man during the perinatal period and how you constructed you gender identity during this time.
Your participation is completely voluntary, and I am unable to offer any reimbursement for your participation. However, your input is extremely valuable in gaining knowledge in an under researched area. Your personal experiences could contribute to improving healthcare services to be more inclusive and gender affirming, and to current knowledge of transmen’s perinatal healthcare needs.
To take part you must be over the age of 18, identified as male during the perinatal period, and speak English.
If you are interested in taking part in this study, or if you have any questions and would like to know more, please feel free to contact me at s2125078@ed.ac.uk.
Best wishes,
Gillian
