Hello everyone. I'm Shannon.
I couldn't find any rules about age anywhere, so if there are and I'm not supposed to be here please let me know... I'd rather not break rules.
I'm here because I'm working on a project for my sociology class in high school. We're doing independent projects that count as our midterm grade, and since it's a 1 semester class, it's really a final. It's important. We basically have to ask a question that we don't know the answer to, and then do research (interviews, surveys, case studies, etc.) that will help us find an answer to our question. The topic is supposed to relate to us somehow. My question was about how gender identity affects someone's life and interactions with other people (with family and friends, at work, in college/university, everyday life, etc.). I'm not trans, or genderqueer, or anything else other than cisgendered, but my partner (who is female-bodied) is now asking some people to call her Zachary, but doesn't mind what gender pronouns are used, which is why I say she and her... it's just what I'm used to. That's not my point, though. My point is that my topic's answer DOES affect me, which is why it's a useful project.
I've had a hard time finding people to interview/do case studies with. I have one, possibly two people... and I would really like one more. My project is due in about two weeks, and I'm terrible at procrastinating, which is why I'm stupid and didn't start gathering data over my Thanksgiving break!
If anyone here is willing to help me out with my project, please send me a PM. OR..... let me know where I should post this so I have a better chance of getting replies, since I know this is just an intro forum. There are a lot of subforums here, so I don't know what forum would be best.
