Well in short it seems that it does not, even when accounting for relationship quality. Results for future expectations offer a potentially brighter picture. What buffers loneliness for asexuals? We’re speculating, but maybe platonic queer friendships. Check out the preprint! osf.io/preprints/os...

Was a pleasure to see @zoppolat.bsky.social once again present our work testing whether romantic relationship involvement buffers loneliness for asexuals as it has been shown to do for heterosexuals and other sexual minorities at the IARR mini conference in London. Curious about the results?…

We (a group of Dutch researchers) wrote an opinion article calling to protect academic freedom and research on sex and gender. The article was co-signed by over 300 academics, healthcare professionals and stakeholders, and it was published in a national newspaper (de Volkskrant) today!

Also luckily we’re not doing this work in the States 🇺🇸 so we’re still allowed to ask questions about gender apparently.

NYAS Publications Loneliness research should go beyond simplistic approaches to gender that ignore social context and restrict gender to the male/female binary. Instead, the impact of gender on loneliness needs to con...

Do women or men experience more loneliness? Is this even how we should think about #gender and #loneliness? In a new piece w/ Manuela Barreto & Marlies Maes we take stock of the field and point toward new ways of thinking about gender and loneliness. nyaspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

I remember being sceptical reading some papers from the early 2000’s on rapid effects of androgens. And now several recent papers have now described membrane receptors for androgens (see also doi.org/10.1126/scis...)! And one already has an agonist!

Nessa is doing exciting community-engaged work for our project on gender-affirming hormone therapy. This type of research is especially important in trans healthcare where the community has historically (and currently) been marginalized. Check out the new preprint to read more about our approach.

Hello Bluesky- I am very excited for a new start on here! I am a postoc researcher the The Department of Medical Psychology at The Amsterdam UMC. Originally from Ireland, I completed my PhD in behavioural science at Loughborough University (UK).

Here is a brief snapshot of my journey so far:

How your email finds me

Often studies included psych functioning, qual of life, and other measures related to GAMT but not necessarily direct targets of care. Even assessment of gender dysphoria/incongruence, a potentially obvious target, was inconsistent. There is need for community-involved work to help direct research.

Skye and Ezra did an admirable job summarizing and examining measures and outcomes in the adolescent chapter of WPATH standards of care. Qual analysis revealed themes related to implicit narratives of ‘improvement’ to justify GAMT for adolescents.

What a way to finish the year—with an important new paper led by two amazing PhDs, Skye Stanwich and Ezra Oosthoek. In it we analyze normative assumptions in evidence for gender-affirming medical treatment for adolescents. rdcu.be/d4ZzE

And kudos to Giulia for literally presenting in a movie theater 🎥 😅

Very proud of @zoppolat.bsky.social for doing an amazing job presenting our work on asexuality, relationships, and loneliness at #ASPO2024. Asexual people are extremely underrepresented in psych research and we hope to contribute knowledge to this community. Stay tuned!

Very cool project—congrats! 🍻
