This announcement is a request for participation in a twin study at Dr. Milton Diamond's Pacific Center For Sex and Society:
| Quote: | It is now understood that among twins, there are sets in which both have transitioned gender and other sets in which only one has switched. Will you please help us try and find out why the differences? Your participation will augment the contributions currently on hand.
We are looking for twin sets, male or female, identical or fraternal, where one or both have transitioned F2M or M2F. You are needed for a research project to answer a set of questions about your background and your twin's condition and transition. The questionnaire will ask about your development and the circumstances surrounding your and your twin's switch. Some of the questions will be personal but most are neutral. Even if you are the twin that didn't change and your twin the one who did, your answers would be of value. We are trying to find out those features among twins that have or have not led to gender change.
The survey will consist of a set of questions we will mail to you and your twin with a return postage paid envelope. Answering the questions will take about one to two hours of time. Twins are welcome from outside the USA as well as within. Everything will be confidential and nothing will be identified with any particular person.
When the survey is completed the information gathered will be compiled, analyzed, and distributed to those in transsexual self-help groups and via professional publications, to those in the helping professions. We desire to improve the lives of persons touched by the condition.
If you are willing to help, please get in touch with Dr. Milton Diamond of the University of Hawaii, School of Medicine.
By mail: 1960 East-West Road, Honolulu, Hawai'i 96822, USA
By email: diamond@hawaii.edu
In the contact please let us know if you are male or female, and if identical or fraternal. We will need the snail mail addresses and cooperation of both you and your twin.
Many, many thanks!
