I am a lesbian professor (Clinical Psychology) at the University of Hartford
and have been interviewing mothers of lesbian daughters and mothers of
transgender children FTM) for a forthcoming book on mothers and relationships
with daughters and transgender children. I have currently completed
interviews
with 16 mothers.
I am especially interested in interviewing mothers of transgender children
(female to male) to understand their experience of coming to terms with and
remaining connected to a daughter, now a son, who has transgendered to male.
Interviews are with mothers only and not with transgender individuals. My
hope
is that if transgender people are aware of my study, some might be interested
in contacting their mothers -- who could then contact me All information is
completely confidential..
I would appreciate any assistance in reaching mothers -- or suggestions as to
locating mothers and where to post this information. Please contact me if you
have any questions or would like additional information. Name/address: Sarah
Pearlman, University of Hartford, 103 Woodland St, Hartford, CT 06105; Tel:

Thanks so much. Sarah Pearlman
