Transgender Practices Study

We are conducting a survey to further understand the physical symptoms and healthcare experiences related to non-hormonal practices of gender affirmation for transgender, nonbinary, and gender diverse adults. These include binding, tucking, packing, padding, and other practices. There is community knowledge that many of these practices can lead to physical symptoms and consequences, but there are few studies that demonstrate this. We are interested in exploring what the burden of symptoms are in our community, and what the community member response is.
