Gender Diagnosticity for the Homosexual Community

Ok reading over your summary of the study done by Lippa (2002)I completely agree that GD scores should be included in a future research of this type, because GD scores are different within the same genders and they are represented differently within the same sexual orientations. I would say for future research instead of seperating out a small subtype that there is a mixture as you previously mentioned of (transgender, homosexual and heterosexual orientations) that way we can compare the trends between genders and then compare trends based on GD. Does this make sense? I could find another reference supporting the importance of including GD scores?

Also are we going to include in this page just how GD scores can be predictors of other aspects in life outcomes (ie. bullying)or are we focusing on how GD scores of homosexuals could change the results in occupation, activites, life outcomes, etc.

Could you clarify your point on comparing trends between genders and comparing trends based on GD?

The reason we were discussing examining the homosexual community separately was because GD may prove to be better indicators of mental health for homosexual individuals; gay men especially (as mentioned below). If we were to consolidate all sexual orientations, do you think key insights would be buried since both homosexual groups in the Heterosexual/Homosexual Gender Traits study averaged out?

I think it is worth reiterating the importance of GD as predictors of other aspects of life outcomes. I know it's mentioned in the studies, but I'm not entirely sure where else it is explicitly stated that GD can predict certain life outcomes, such as bullying and mental health. Anybody know?
