From Stephen:

I am a researcher at Charles Darwin University. I am conducting a research project on the health and wellbeing of transgender and sex/gender diverse Northern Territorians. To date, little to no research has been conducted on the health and wellbeing status of transgender and sex/gender diverse Northern Territorians. Research which has been conducted on the health and wellbeing status of transgender and sex/gender diverse Australians rarely, if ever, includes Northern Territorians.

My own experiences as a genderqueer person who has lived in the NT for over three years has prompted me to make the most of my time here and my research skills to find out what the health needs of trans* folk in the NT are.

Interviews can take place either in person or over the phone/Skype. We will discuss your experiences of being Trans* in the NT. I would to talk to people who currently live in the NT AND those trans* people who have moved away from the NT.

If you are interested, please contact me: Dr Stephen Kerry
