- hi. i'm conducting some research into astrological indicators
- regarding gender self-image, gender dysphoria, transsexualism, and
- transvesticism. i'm looking for patterns, and am trying to collect
- charts from a moderate number of people. i need both TV/TS types as
- well as control subjects, so transsexualism or transvestism is NOT a
- requirement for participation, and neither is a belief in astrology.
-
- if you wish to participate in this study, please send me the the
- following information:
-
- 1. date AND TIME of birth. please specify time zone and whether or
- not DST was in effect. don't bother mailing me if you don't know
- your time of birth within an hour or so.
- 2. place of birth. city or town of birth will suffice for US-born
- types; outside the US please give latitude and longitude (accurate
- to within 10 minutes, preferably) if at all possible.
- 3. birth sex. current sex as well if different.
-
- the remaining questions relate to your gender self-image.
-
- 4. how masculine do you believe yourself to be, 0 being not at all
- and 4 being very much so?
- 5. how feminine do you believe yourself to be, 0 being not at all and
- 4 being very much so?
-
- 6. do you consider yourself to be transsexual?
- 7. do you consider yourself to be a transvestite?
-
- feel free to add any comments you feel are relevant. mail me any
- questions you might have.
-
- this data will be shared with another person i know who is doing
- similar research; however, all identifying information will be removed
- prior to any data sharing (all this person will see is the answers to
- 1-7) and any comments regarding interpretation.
-
- if you want an interpretation of your natal chart thrown in, let me
- know and i'll mail it back to you.
-
- if you wish to remain totally anonymous, might i suggest mailing your
- responses to help@anon.penet.fi, with the line
-
- X-Anon-To: scg@mentor.cc.purdue

- this will use the double-blind anonymous service at penet.

- posted.
