about the trans survey
no one warned me about these things so i figured i’d try to spare others from being potentially triggered by the trans survey. the survey asks invasive questions about the following:
sex work
drugs and alcohol
suicide
abuse of all kinds
physical and sexual assault
medical abuse
please boost this and feel free to add on with what i’ve forgotten
Just to clear some things up!
Before taking the survey there is a STUDY INFORMATION SHEET Which states: “ARE THERE ANY RISKS OR DISCOMFORTS THAT I CAN EXPECT FROM THIS STUDY? Participating in this study poses no risks that are not ordinarily encountered in daily life. Any information you provide in the survey will be confidential. Some of the questions asked of you as part of this survey may make you feel uncomfortable. You may refuse to answer questions posed to you by skipping the question. You may stop your participation in this study at any time by exiting the survey. Should you need them, there will be a list of resources, including hotlines, provided at the end of the survey.”
Also, this survey is deliberately comprehensive so that there can be future services provided for the trans* folks.
