Summary
This study maps research on transgender, nonbinary, and other gender diverse (trans) people, identifying key topics and significant gaps in scientific literature. It aims to improve access to trans research and promote more responsible future studies.
Area of Science:
- Social Sciences
- Medical Research
- Public Health
Background:
- Limited information exists on the research conducted on transgender, nonbinary, and other gender diverse (trans) populations.
- Understanding research trends and gaps is crucial for advancing knowledge and supporting trans communities.
Purpose of the Study:
- To increase access to trans research by mapping and describing studies across various subject fields.
- To identify evidence gaps and opportunities for more responsible and inclusive research practices.
- To inform strategic research prioritization benefiting trans communities and allies.
Main Methods:
- Systematic review of empirical research involving trans participants or their data.
- Inclusion criteria: English, peer-reviewed journals, published between 2010-2014.
- Searched 15 academic databases, screening 25,230 references to identify 690 relevant articles.
Main Results:
- The 10 most frequent research topics included: therapeutics/surgeries, gender identity, mental health, biology, discrimination, physical health, sexual health, health services, social support, and well-being.
- Significant underrepresentation of research on ethnicity, race, culture, housing, income, employment, and spatial factors.
- Identified a substantial body of trans-focused research within a defined 5-year period.
Conclusions:
- This research map enhances awareness of existing trans studies and highlights critical evidence gaps.
- Findings can guide future research prioritization, promoting more comprehensive and responsible investigations.
- Empowers trans communities and allies to leverage existing research and advocate for accountability.

02:37Disubstituted Cyclohexanes: cis-trans Isomerism
14.1K
Depending upon the different spatial orientation of the substituents, the disubstituted cycloalkanes exhibit two types of stereoisomers. The cis isomers have the substituents on the same side of the ring, whereas the trans isomers have the substituents on the opposite sides. These stereoisomers exhibit different physical properties and cannot be interconverted without breaking the carbon-carbon bonds.
In cyclohexane, the substituents can occupy different positions generating distinct isomers....

02:55The Evidence for Evolution
47.9K
Genetic variations accumulating within populations over generations give rise to biological evolution. Evolutionary changes can result in the formation of novel varieties and entire new species. These changes are responsible for the diverse forms of life inhabiting the planet. The evidence for evolution suggests that all living organisms descended from common ancestors.

02:10Reduction of Alkynes to trans-Alkenes: Sodium in Liquid Ammonia
10.6K
Alkynes can be reduced to trans-alkenes using sodium or lithium in liquid ammonia. The reaction, known as dissolving metal reduction, proceeds with an anti addition of hydrogen across the carbon–carbon triple bond to form the trans product. Since ammonia exists as a gas (bp = −33°C) at room temperature, the reaction is carried out at low temperatures using a mixture of dry ice (sublimes at −78°C) and acetone.

01:30Socioemotional Experience and Gender Development
277
Social-emotional experiences and cultural influences play significant roles in shaping gender development. During middle childhood, from ages 6 to 11, peer groups become dominant in reinforcing gender norms. Children in this age group often align with same-gender peer groups, which actively encourage behaviors that conform to traditional gender roles. For instance, boys may be discouraged from engaging in activities perceived as feminine, reinforcing culturally dictated norms about masculinity...

01:50Global Climate Change
28.9K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.
