Recruiting Women for an online anonymous Research Study!

To participate you must be a woman (including cisgender women, transgender women and nonbinary women), over 18 years old, have internet access, and be comfortable reading and writing in English.

Those who participate will be asked a range of demographic questions as well as open-ended questions relating to their experiences of this “gender pressure,” masculinity, femininity, and gender role beliefs, gender expression and gender discrimination.

Participation takes 45-60 minutes. In appreciation of your time, you will be given the option to be entered into a prize draw for 1 of 4 $100 CAD gift cards.
