Transexual-Nonbinary
I am a psychologist and have had an influx of clients & parents of teenagers who either call themself Non Binary or are transitioning both teenagers & adults. Is it possible to interview a health professional who specialises in this area, especially information on hormones and long term effects if any. Not sure of increased cancer risks. Many thanks
humor & memory
Humor has long been a near and dear friend of mine - getting me through the best and worst of times. I have often found it also helps me when I am learning new concepts (I am in grad school getting my PhD). So, whenever possible, I try to associate or reframe a concept into something funny so that I can understand and remember it better. Interestingly enough, humorous examples also help when I am teaching a concept (e.g., statistics) and need an illustration to solidify the notion...or prime students with a basic understanding before things get complex. Side note: all types of humor seem to work - silly, dry, witty, dark, sarcastic, word play, etc. Building on this, do you know of any scientific research that examines and/or could explain any of this? I assume it has something to do with emotional salience, but I would love to know the mechanisms underlying this process (if there are any). Any and all information would be appreciated!
