  • Evaluation of a sexual health approach to reducing HIV/STD risk in the transgender community

    Walter Bockting, W O Bockting et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2005

    Despite reports of high prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) among the transgender community, very little prevention education has targeted this population.

When AWS is controlled in a multiple regression analysis, the difference on M scores between the two sexual orientation groups disappears. The results support the hypothesis that hi…

  • The Relation of Gender and Sexual Orientation to Measures of Masculinity, Femininity, and Androgyny

    Barbara Finlay, Karen E Scheltema et al.ARTICLEJournal of Homosexuality1991Cited by: 11

    Data from a survey of 58 gay men and 58 lesbians are compared to college men and women on Spence and Helmreich's (1978) Personality Attributes Questionnaire measures of masculinity, femininity, and androgyny. Lesbians had higher M scores than college women, and gay men had lower M scores than college men, with F scores being similar across sexual orientation groups, within gender. Androgyny measures differed only by gender, not by sexual orientat…
