Avery Everhart @averyeverhart.bsky.social · 18/09/2026This is such a patently true statement. It’s like decidedly non-controversial in basically any circle I’m in. Yet the various pseudo pundits of no color are up in arms?! 1120
Avery Everhart @averyeverhart.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Check out the article to read more about what we did. And there you'll also find a link out to the data in OSF, so you can see the hits we got from each database, and use the search hedges yourselves. And shout out to my amazing co-authors! So happy to see our labour of love in print finally! 020
Avery Everhart @averyeverhart.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Another thing we discovered is that LGBT tags will obviously produce hits with our hedges. However, not all of those articles will substantively discuss TGD people/issues. We opted for 100% sensitivity at the expense of some precision so that y'all can screen results based on your research goals. 110
Avery Everhart @averyeverhart.bsky.social · 12/06/2026We also found some unexpected things along the way. One is that 'gender diverse' is a relatively recent phenomenon in health sciences lit to refer to trans populations, but that it is also widely used in other fields to refer to things as simple as male-female ratios in organizations. Fascinating... 100
Avery Everhart @averyeverhart.bsky.social · 12/06/2026And if you, like me before we started this project, aren't familiar with search hedges, here's the basics. Hedges, or filters, are blocks of code that can be used in databases to more comprehensively search the available scholarly literature on a given topic. These are TGD population specific ones. 100
Avery Everhart @averyeverhart.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Our article on trans & gender diverse search hedges for MEDLINE and PsycInfo we built/validated is out now open access at @plosone.org These hedges are designed to comprehensively source not only scientific evidence, but trans scholarship in general!

Avery Everhart @averyeverhart.bsky.social · 22/03/2026This actually is so fucking egregious. People who are or have been incarcerated matter. Full stop. Ive seen other folks name this as a domino in the line toward toppling adult trans care. Even if it weren’t, no one should be subject to conversion torture. 02713
Avery Everhart @averyeverhart.bsky.social · 22/03/2026Oh and one last thing is I now have semi fleshed out drafts of two papers that are like the remainders I can’t make sense of with empirics and I haven’t written in this more humanistic vein in a while. Feels kinda nice. 010
Avery Everhart @averyeverhart.bsky.social · 22/03/2026Also have you ever seen presenters decide there either was something concurrent to their session they’d rather be at or that there weren’t enough people there for their panel and so they just dip?! The thought would never have occurred to me to just bail on my own panel… 010

Avery Everhart @averyeverhart.bsky.social · 12/09/2025You simply MUST be joking. You built something that only had the appeal of not being Twitter and has a learning curve for new users.

Avery Everhart @averyeverhart.bsky.social · 02/09/2025The thought occurs to me that anti trans activists are so hellbent on the idea that we have been “transed” or that we are transing youth because they themselves feel recognize on some level their genders were foisted upon them so they assume a trans gender must be as well 🤔 050
