Survey- Public attitudes to transgender prisoners

[highame]

This from FPFW site.

This MSc student is looking at public attitudes to transgender prisoners. It takes about 10 minutes to complete and could be an important measure of public opinion. Please take a moment to fill in.
t.co/LXpRTvw8Ji?amp=1study and please share.

I think this is bona fide. It's on FPFW site so nothing to suggest otherwise

The tweet with the survey seems to have been taken down now! Maybe they saw the feedback

Maybe they didn't want the wrong sort of people answering...

If it were a university other than Goldsmiths I would participate.

My opinion of Goldsmiths was already low

I don't know anything about Goldsmiths, but am now curious. Can someone explain?

I posted a link to an article in the Express about them earlier today. That should explain a lot.

That said, I also experienced the author to be something of a terf because they had separate questions about my sex and my gender identity.

The gender identity question really needed an ‘None’ option or a text box to say so.

Genuinely don't know what my views on condom machines add?

Well, probably seeing if women would buy condoms for casual sex

I will have been designed so some questions correlate strongly with certain traits. I'd imagine that it may correlate with religiousity or more extreme anti-contraception views. Psychometric testing design is really interesting.

I left the gender identity question empty because I dont have one.

Survey link no longer active.

Weird.

LM the former MRA, later "Women's officer" for Labour is very comfortable at Goldsmiths.

It's all "this is an oak tree because I say it's an oak tree" while holding a glass of water.

Education. Not.

I went to answer and it's been deactivated.

I also darn socks but that's because I knit them as well. And I like the concept of visible mending. I don't darn commercially bought ones :-)

What, so they didn't get the correlation between right wing, conservative Christians that they wanted, so they closed the survey? Or they realised it was so badly written it was impossible to understand the scenario? I had no idea whether or not Robin was meant to be guilty or not from the way it was worded, nor if they'd even been to trial. It was like they couldn't bring themselves to admit that transwomen can commit crimes, so they were only 'accused' (bringing into question the female victim). The scenario was also so unrealistic it's clear that this person hasn't done their research about the demographics of trans people, when Robin gravitates towards 'girly' things and then casually gets their knob lopped off. The writer clearly doesn't know (or fails to acknowledge) the vast majority of transwomen retain a penis. Interesting they also tell us that Robin was thrown out by his/her parents, as though to garner sympathy. Playing the victim and emotional blackmail seems to be all TRAs have in the way of argument.

Robin didn't always undergo surgery - "that depended on the version. But in my version our sympathy was elicited by the fact the 27 year old Robin was thrown out by his naturist parents after declaring an attraction for clothes.

That survey sounds ridiculous. I hope it's been abandoned and totally rewritten.

We were asked to promote it, but declined as the level of information about the research, methodology, questionnaire development, research questions etc was not forthcoming.

A normal part of the ethics process is that participants are told they can see the results of the questionnaire. It might be interesting to follow up on that.

There was a similar survey last year from a university in Ireland. Same strange outlook, imagining Irish or British feminists had US-style religious rightwing opinions. I’m pretty sure even in the USA feminists don’t have much (if any) overlap with the religious right, let alone over here.

Very odd.

Yes. Anyone who managed to complete the survey before it was taken down should be able to email about the results and the ethics process.

Though the fact that it’s been taken down may mean they’re going back to the drawing board..

Even the questions relating to religion didn't make much sense, asking how often you pray, but not to which 'god'. How would they be able to tell whether their responses were coming from a Hindu, Jew, Muslim or Christian, for example? If Christian, what type? There's a huge difference between different denominations, so praying regularly needn't tell you anything else about the nature of that person's beliefs.

I assume we broke it I hope the Surveyor isn't suffering literal violence

One of my friends prays regularly as she is a Sikh- certainly religious but not Right Wing Evangelical Christian by a long chalk.

All the God questions and never a Goddess.

I can't see it on the site (as per the OP ) however I'm surprised that FPFW promoted it. What were they thinking?

I filled this in the other day. In the age box it allowed free text so I may have commented about them assuming I even have a gender identity!
