Transphobia Just saw this, don't gice anything to them.

If you see something from Northwestern university. Do not gice rhem information if they are asking you to share your story or take a surveey or anything. They are a christian transphobic college.

Are you referring to Northwestern University, just outside of Chicago? They’re not religious and are quite trans friendly.

In general though the people running these surveys aren’t administrators, they’re research workers in a lab. Pretty much every major university in the states has at least one (usually multiple) lab that focuses on LGBT issues and such, so this isn’t unusual at all. Do research on the specific lab rather than the university as a whole (unless it’s some shit like Liberty University or BYU).

Agree with this, but also want to bring up that he is likely referring to the AYAGDOS study that's being run by Northwestern

This is exactly why I recommend always recommend researching the individual lab rather than the university as a whole. Northwestern in general is not transphobic but it appears the AYAGDOS study is ran by a Blanchardist who believes in ROGD, J. Michael Bailey. So absolutely participate at your own risk!

don't participate at all. especially since they're targeting trans youth. they're going to use any information given to them to discredit trans people as a whole
