My colleague Tristan Taormino is doing original research for her Master’s thesis in the public health program at George Washington University. She is conducting original research on sexual health and pleasure among transgender men. She hopes to add to a growing body of research to improve the knowledge of sexual health and mental health clinicians about transgender men. She is currently recruiting participants for the study.

To be eligible for this study, you must be: 30-59, a U.S. resident, on testosterone for 2 years or more, have had one or more sexual partners in the last 6 months, and have not had any bottom surgery.
