Introduction to Project Gender: Breaking the Gender Mold

The information collected in this interview is private and for use in this project only. If articles or books about this project are published in the future, we would like to use your story, as you tell it in this interview. Do you feel comfortable with us publishing your words? Can we use your name? If not, what name would you prefer us to use? We can also make one up for you. The more thoroughly you answer each question, the more helpful it is for the project. However, all questions are not mandatory. If you are uncomfortable discussing something or a question isn't relevant to you, that's okay.

These are the first questions. Please cut and paste them with your answers (the more thorough the better!) into an email and send it to breakingthegendermold(at)gmail.com
