University of Kent survey

I really don't want to believe that the people who signed off this research knew how it was going to be presented on MN. I grabbed enough info to have a dig about, I really hope that the psychology dept of Kent University didn't intentionally seek to paint the many thousands of MN users as bigots.
But it appears that the deleting of everything to do with it suggests the people responsible are aware of unethical it is.

I didn’t open the study unfortunately. It was posted on at least two threads, derailing the discussion and against MN guidelines.

Apparently it was also stupid, highly biased questions which showed a complete lack of understanding of feminist theory. Along the lines of “are you scared of transwomen” as opposed to “do you see any issues with male bodied people in single sex spaces”.

Obviously they were expecting the silly, bigoted FWR posters to uncritically fill in their ridiculous survey and prove themselves to be the bigots the study purported them to be Hmm

If you figure out the best action to take OP, or anyone, let us know.

Can anyone fill me in about this?

The questions were ridiculous, I wish I'd managed to screen grab them

To be honest, I think someone who has grabbed some info should complain to the ethics committee within the psychology department.

The study would have needed ethical sign off in order to be published. Complaints to the ethics committee could have a positive impact for further studies.

Just seen a deletion for that account from earlier today on another thread.

I'm not letting this drop.
All the women seeking support about miscarriage?
All the women talking about rape and abuse?
The women asking for support to leave the men who beat them?
Imagine wanting to paint them as bigots knee-deep in conspiracy theories about transgender people.
Just unbelievable

Thread has been deleted due to them encouraging PMs, which MN doesn’t allow by researchers/media.

Maybe we should contact the ethics department.

Good point.
