Mate preferences in Argentinean transgender people
2018
Transgender people provide a unique opportunity to examine the effect of biological sex versus gender identity on mating preferences. This study aimed at identifying the mate characteristics that are most and least valued by transgender people and at examining to what extent their biological sex or their gender identity determined their mate preferences. A convenience sample of 134 male‐to‐female (MTF) and 94 female‐to‐male (FTM) individuals from Argentina rated Buss's list of 18 mate attributes. Compared to FTM, MTF individuals placed significantly more emphasis on attractiveness and socioeconomic status, whereas FTM, more than MTF individuals, valued partners with a dependable character. …
An Analysis of the Presence and Composition of OutLists at United States, Canadian, and European Medical Institutions
2019
Sexual and gender minority (SGM) medical students and physicians are exposed to bias in professional contexts. One strategy for promoting SGM visibility and inclusion within medicine is the development of institutional OutLists, which are online, opt-in lists of SGM-identified individuals affiliated with an academic institution. We present the first quantitative evaluation of publicly accessible OutLists at medical institutions in the United States, Canada, and Europe. Nineteen OutLists were identified in the United States; no OutLists were identified in other countries. All OutLists in the United States were identified at allopathic institutions with no institutional religious affiliation.…
A glial amino-acid transporter controls synapse strength and courtship in Drosophila
2008
1097-6256 (Print) Journal Article Research Support, N.I.H., Extramural Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't; Mate choice is an evolutionarily critical decision that requires the detection of multiple sex-specific signals followed by central integration of these signals to direct appropriate behavior. The mechanisms controlling mate choice remain poorly understood. Here, we show that the glial amino-acid transporter genderblind controls whether Drosophila melanogaster males will attempt to mate with other males. Genderblind (gb) mutant males showed no alteration in heterosexual courtship or copulation, but were attracted to normally unappealing male species-specific chemosensory cues. As a resul…

Factorial Invariance of the Scale Beliefs About Children’s Adjustment in Same-Sex Families in Spanish, Chilean, and Hispanic University Students
2017
This study examines the factorial invariance of the Scale on Beliefs About Children’s Adjustment in Same-Sex Families (SBCASSF) across countries in three samples: Chilean, Spanish, and Hispanic university students. The scale analyzes attitudes toward the consequences of the rearing and education of children by parents with a homosexual sexual orientation. The instrument consists of two subscales: Individual Opposition and Normative Opposition. The Spanish sample is composed of 199 university students, the Chilean sample is made up of 279 students, and the Hispanic sample consists of 114 students. The results provide empirical evidence for the reliability of the SBCASSF in the samples from …

Kreowanie obrazu homoseksualizmu w tygodniku ,,Gazeta Polska”
2022
Celem artykułu jest pokazanie, jaki obraz homoseksualności oraz osób homoseksualnych funkcjonuje współcześnie w konserwatywnym tygodniku ,,Gazeta Polska”. Analiza oparta jest na artykułach opublikowanych od stycznia do maja 2021 r. Autorka bierze pod uwagę artykuły zarówno o osobach homoseksualnych, jak i ogólnie o mniejszości LGBT+, gdyż dziennikarze ,,Gazety Polskiej” często nie używają rozróżnienia pomiędzy tymi mniejszościami. W artykule opisuje się leksykę, której dziennikarze tygodnika używają wobec osób homoseksualnych, sposób zapisu (np. cudzysłów), kontekst, w jakim pojawia się temat mniejszości seksualnych oraz strategie perswazji, których używa się, by kreować negatywny obraz hom…
