Gender Education and Advocacy - Gender.org While transgendered people are most familiar with gender variant expressions and cross-gender identities, there are many other forms of gender variance exhibited by all kinds of people — regardless of their social or gender identities. Revealing these other forms of gender variance will show an audience how common it really is — and thus provide the all-important context for them to understand transgendered people. Gender Education and Advocacy (GEA) is a national organization focused on the needs, issues and concerns of gender variant people in human society. www.gender.org   (547 words)

Gender Education and Advocacy (GEA) is a national organization focused on the needs, issues and concerns of gender variant people in human society. Since gender follows physical sex for most people, transgenderism and even transsexualism are almost impossible to understand by those who are not transgendered themselves. www.gender.org   (270 words)

Title page for ETD etd-0715105-101654 The results also suggested that emotional intelligence predicts physical aggression, anger, and hostility in addition to the variance explained by gender variables, presenting negative relationships with each of these variables. The role of emotional intelligence in these relationships was also evaluated, as a possible correlate to the gender-related variables. Sex, gender-role identity, and gender-role stress were assessed in terms of their relationship to observed gender differences in self- reported aggression. etd-submit.etsu.edu /etd/theses/available/etd-0715105-101654   (140 words)

Reading in a Foreign Language: Does gender make a difference? Passage content and comprehension in second language reading In order to compare several means simultaneously and to assess interaction effects, for research questions two and three, data were submitted to a two-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The results of the Kruskal Wallis test indicated that there was a significant difference in self-reported topic familiarity ratings with male and female learners for both of the texts (p <.05). Wolf (1993: 473) discussed the variety of reader and text variables involved in comprehension, and she echoed Bernhardt's claim that there is not "one true comprehension," but a "range" of comprehension. nflrc.hawaii.edu /rfl/April2003/brantmeier/brantmeier.html   (140 words)

Queering Gender: Trikone Magazine July 1999 This oppression manifests itself in transphobic responses from "nons" both straight and queer, in forced surgical "correction" of infants with ambiguous genitalia, and in violent acts of hate that do not discriminate between the intricacies of gender variance and minority sexual orientation. Many desire to pass as the sex/gender of choice, which is mostly a matter of survival in a transphobic world, and sometimes a consequence of pressure from gender clinics to be "gender congruent" (Earl 1998). Nevertheless, we suggest that transphobic reactions of some feminists only serve to firmly establish "woman" as an essentialized and monolithic entity, which is antithetical to the "anatomy is not destiny" and "women are made, not born" paradigms (Douglas 1990) of feminism. members.tripod.com /pallavi/gender.html   (180 words)

Amazon.ca: Books: Canadian literature, new & used textbooks, cookbooks, children's books, science fiction & more Science writer Rudacille's sympathetic and well-researched elucidation of the threads that make up the tangled issue of gender variance, most visible in transsexuals, is lively enough to be a good introduction for the educated lay reader and documented enough for the scholar. In filling a gap in transgender memoirs, Khosla avoids the usual arc of transsexual memoirs, which start with childhood gender discomfort and the build up to the decision to transition, and instead employs a clever, if distracting, structure: he begins with his decision to become a man and weaves...

Rate of isometric knee extension strength development and walking speed after stroke Adjusting for age and gender, 12 percent of the variance in walking speed was explained by the rate of torque development and the peak torque. Adjusting for age and gender, 10 percent of the variance in walking speed was explained by the rate and peak of torque. For example, in isometric testing of knee extension of the affected lower limb of adults with stroke, the time to peak torque and the time to 90 percent of peak torque were compared to gait speed; poor correlations were found [2]. www.vard.org /jour/02/39/6/Pohl.html   (3840 words)

MHAMic - Assumed Properties of CSA (Rind et al.) Only two of the reviews (Jumper 1995, Rind and Tromovitch 1997) examined gender differences, and they used a small number of samples to do so, pointing to a need for further research. CSA explained less than 1% of the variance in adult adjustment, and family environment and statistical control issues made it impossible to even attribute that variance to CSA. Many lay persons and professionals believe that child sexual abuse (CSA) causes intense harm, regardless of gender, pervasively in the general population. www.mhamic.org /sources/rindetal.htm   (3499 words)

PA 765: Sampling Repeated systematic sample has the side benefit that the variability in the subsample means for a given variable is a measure of the variance of that estimate in the entire sample. The sampling variance of the total sample is estimated from the variability of the subsample estimates. Sometimes it is possible to compare respondents and nonrespondents on the basis of gender or some other attribute. www2.chass.ncsu.edu /garson/pa765/sampling.htm   (3499 words)

USATODAY.com - Transgender employees see changes in colleagues, too Some transgender employees say companies and insurers have an obligation to provide insurance coverage for transgender procedures, adding that gender variance is a genuine medical condition that there's no reason not to treat. Transgender is a broad term that refers to people who don't conform to traditional gender. The field of transgender specialists is growing: Consultants now work with companies on how to handle an employee who is changing gender in the workplace, and organizations such as HRC offer guidelines for managers to follow. www.usatoday.com /money/jobcenter/workplace/2005-06-09-transgender-usat_x.htm   (1716 words)

Last year, she spoke on GenderTalk about the controversy surrounding the book "The Man Who Would Be Queen" by Northwestern University psychologist J. Michael Bailey.

Workers World July 1, 2004: Transgender lesbian activist Leslie Feinberg tours Italy She gave a Marxist over view of human history, pointing out the long period of matrilineal cooperative societies around the world in which sex/ gender/sexuality variance was more accepted and respected. Feinberg pointed to evidence that patriarchal partitioning of the sexes and state enforcement of heterosexuality and gender expression became components of the development of the nuclear family as a transmission belt of wealth, property and title as societies cleaved into exploiting and exploited classes. Porpora Marcasciano, who is from Bologna, told Workers World, "In the past years we've been trying to move a step across the tight borders of identities and we've started to meet up and work together on issues like sexuality, gender, globalization, war." www.workers.org /ww/2004/italy0701.php   (2210 words)

What is an Extraneous Variable? By promoting age to be an extraneous or independent variable--by controlling for age directly instead of letting random sampling control for its effect--we can reduce variance and see effects due to gender. If noise factors turn out to have large effects, then variance within conditions will be larger than we like, and it can be reduced by treating noise variables as extraneous or independent (i.e., directly controlled) variables. It follows, therefore, that you can reduce the variance in a sample by partitioning it into two or more samples on the basis of one of these variables--by promoting a noise variable to be an extraneous or independent variable. www.cs.colostate.edu /~howe/EMAI/ch3/node4.html   (1189 words)

Ray Blanchard on transsexualism In the meantime, Blanchard's star continues to fade, reduced to eugenicists, old-school sexologists and psychologists, and those self-hating gender variant people who seek a "cure" for their gender variance. By selecting for these patients and rejecting the rest, Blanchard has been able to advance his claim that transsexualism is all about sex, rather than gender identity. Blanchard published several articles regarding his theory, which went unnoticed until sexologist Anne Lawrence latched on to them as a form of validation following a 1997 incident in which a sex addiction for surgically modified genitals led to Dr. Lawrence's resignation as an anesthesiologist. www.tsroadmap.com /info/ray-blanchard.html   (2681 words)

Paly Voice: Campus observes Transgender Day of Remembrance Gender-variant people exist in every race, class, and culture around the world, just as homosexual people do (gender-variance and homosexuality are NOT the same, though some people do confuse them). Despite some student confusion on campus, Transgender Day of Remembrance is honoring victims of transgender-based hate crimes and raising peoples' awareness of these crimes all over the world. Although the Gay-Straight Alliance is working to heighten awareness at Paly, many students believe there is not enough campus concern over issues like homosexuality and transgender. voice.paly.net /view_story.php?id=2287   (643 words)

Synopses Data showed that 11% of the variance in agentic self-efficacy expectations was explained by perceived gender bias above and beyond that explained by sex role attitudes, gender concentration of major, and race (p134-135). A sample of 67 female undergraduates was surveyed on areas of academic gender biases in campus environments, agentic self-efficacy expectations, and sex role attitudes. Agentic self-efficacy expectations are defined as "an individual’s beliefs about her ability to successfully engage in proactive educational and career facilitative behaviors." These types of behaviors can explain differences in women’s career choices and development. www.clahs.vt.edu /WIT/synopses.html   (643 words)

An Integration of Proximate and Ultimate Influences for Altruistic Helping Intentions The parsimonious model including gender effects accounted for 86% of the variance in the likelihood of helping, an increase of 3%. The gender of the target in the scenario had a significant direct effect on the likelihood of helping, female targets were more likely to receive help.

John Addington Symonds ...It is ironic that even John Addington Symonds, who tried to excise gender variance and the gender-variant spiritual functionary from the discourse on homosexuality that was emerging at the end of the nineteenth century, confessed to experiencing gender metamorphosis. Symonds' remark 'that instead of love lust was the deity of the boy-lover on the shores of the Tiber' is by no means always true.... In 1864, Symonds, writing a poem to the spirit of a deceased young man who knew his father but whom he had never met, imagines that they might have been lovers. www.liminalityland.com /symonds.htm   (5956 words)

It follows, therefore, that you can reduce the variance in a sample by partitioning it into two or more samples on the basis of one of these variables--by promoting a noise variable to be an extraneous or independent variable. In practice, extraneous variables are not merely ``possible causes''; they are ``plausible causes.'' It is plausible to believe that a teacher's view of a student influences her math scores; it is unlikely that the identity of the physician who delivered the baby who became the student influences her math scores. www.cs.colostate.edu /~howe/EMAI/ch3/node4.html   (5956 words)

Publication Frequency, Citation Frequency, and Quality of Counselin The fourth independent variable, Gender, was not significantly correlated with either dependent variable and was therefore dropped from the analyses. Cites-Per-Year and Professional Age together accounted for 17% of the variance in predicting Worth, and 19% of the variance in predicting Virtual Worth. Pairs of experts varied in their judgments about the quality of a given scholar's work, and were generally quite disparaging about the aggregate quality of counseling psychology research. horan.asu.edu /d-bk-apa.htm   (3526 words)
