ABCqueer [Mar 31] -- Australian researchers have developed what may be the first validated scale to measure 'gender euphoria' -- a common experience among trans people which occurs when one finally feels comfortable in one's own skin and is recognized as such by others. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

It's Transgender Day of Visibility, and I have mixed emotions. So I wrote something about it 😊 (this is the first in a series; the next one is in a few weeks and is about disinformation campaigns) pursuit.unimelb.edu.au/articles/my-...

Want to know how much of your work Meta pirated in training LibGen? www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

Scientists are not allowed to pay above certain rates because it would be considered inherently coercive to those "too poor to say no". Paying $100 to make someone sign a petition appears to fit the definition of coercion.

Do narratives that prioritize women's orgasm during heterosex benefit or constrain women's sexuality? My new article in the Annual Review of Sex Research, covers research supporting...both! Thrilled to finally share this with the world! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

So I went to my FB account to look at past #IWD posts and this is what Meta is censoring … in screenshots

As a reminder, sex researchers went through grant defunding for years psychologicalscience.org/observer/nih... One grant actually was defunded jstor.org/stable/2749760 Sex researchers have fought attempts at research defunding for decades...and we aren't going *anywhere*

🌈Happy Valentine’s Day! 💘 At SAGE Lab, we recognize and affirm that ALL consensual romantic and sexual relationships are valid, deserving of respect, support, and understanding. See alt text for some of the many diverse relationships people have. 💕

Cognitive psych is often traced back to the 1950s. Psychology is often traced to Wundt's lab in 1879. Textbooks speak of "proto-psychologists" like Fechner & Helmholtz in the 1800s... Westerners all. Have you heard about Ibn al-Haytham, whose work predated them by 100s of years? 1/4

This is where you go to tell the National Park Service to restore the word "transgender" in its entry on the Stonewall monument. (Scroll down.)

I'm currently in a discussion about participant consent and research data sharing as part of more open science practices. I'm curious what frameworks and guidelines are being used to best protect participant privacy and rights while promoting more open science #Ethics #Research #OpenScience
