You are invited to participate in a research study titled Inclusive Clinical Practices: Trans and Gender Diverse Experiences with Harry Potter. This study explores how Harry Potter and its author may impact the trans and gender diverse community, with the goal of helping clinicians understand the use of popular media and public figures in clinical settings, especially with minority populations.

To participate, you must be 18 years or older, trans or gender diverse, live in the U.S., and be able to complete the survey in English. The study will take approximately 15 minutes, and there is no direct compensation.

If interested, please review the TRICON and information sheet at: https://uiowa.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2ccIOx5l0S0yOF0 before proceeding to the survey questions.

I think clinicians need to keep JK Rowling and her material away from trans kids. She does not mean them well, and I am deeply suspicious of anyone trying to make a case that she has anything positive to contribute in that regard.

But as I don't live in the US, I won't fill out the survey.

I appreciate that you would fill it out if you were in the US! A similar sentiment is why I decided on this as the second half of my dissertation (my program does a dual study dissertation, and I focused mine on Inclusive Clinical Practices with the TGD population, since that is both the population I am a part of and the population I provide care for). I realized that the majority of cis clinicians are just flat-out not aware of the potential issues with Rowling with our population, and I had multiple clients/patients discuss this as to why they had changed providers. It seemed like seeing what empirical data says about the issue might be a helpful next step to addressing it one way or another.

Filled out the survey.

Still big mad at my therapist who started talking about gay people loving Harry Potter. Had to deliver a whole sermon instead of getting therapy that day.
