I am a doctoral candidate at Alliant International University, San Diego. For my dissertation, I am examining gender perceptions among people with various sexual orientations/gender identities.

The research study was developed in consultation with my dissertation committee, LGBT individuals, and was approved by the institutional review board (IRB) at Alliant International University.

Fortunately, I have received a lot of responses from LGBT individuals. I am, however, still looking for parents of LGBT individuals, who are residents of California to complete an anonymous online questionnaire, available at: www.genderstudy.info (instead of .org or .com).

I hope that this study will contribute to further understanding of the understudied and underserved population. I also believe the knowledge gained from this study will help therapists in addressing issues related to sexual orientation and gender identities.
