  • Tender TV in Turbulent Times: 2SLGBTQIA+ Viewers and Their Relationship to Netflix’s Heartstopper

    Tender TV in Turbulent Times: 2SLGBTQIA+ Viewers and Their Relationship to Netflix’s Heartstopper

    Have you watched Netflix’s Heartstopper? Whether you binged all three seasons in a weekend, search daily for the release date of the feature-length film that will conclude the series, or just checked out a season out of curiosity, your experience matters.

    Dr. Wendy Peters, a researcher at Nipissing University, is seeking 2SLGBTQIA+ viewers across Canada to participate in a study exploring how we connect with Heartstopper—a series that centres on the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, non-binary, and asexual characters.

    The research, titled “Tender TV in Turbulent Times: 2SLGBTQIA+ Viewers and Their Relationship to Netflix’s Heartstopper,” examines how queer audiences watch, interpret, and make meaning from the series. How did you discover the show? Do you watch alone or with others? Does it resonate with your own experiences, or does it feel distant from your reality? How did the TV series Heartstopper land in the context of your life?

    You don’t need to be a fan to participate—you just need to have watched at least one season and be willing to share your thoughts.

    You’re eligible if you:
    • Have watched at least one season of Heartstopper
    • Self-identify as 2SLGBTQIA+
    • Are over 18 and live in Canada

    Participation involves a 10-15 minute anonymous online survey. The study is seeking up to 85 participants.

    GRS Vaginoplasty Survey

    This survey specifically asks about experiences with Montreal’s GRS clinic. If you had surgery at a clinic other than the GRS, please do not fill out this survey; however, we would be happy to interview you about your experience!

    You are eligible to take this survey if you are at least 3 months post-op.

    Data usage

    Our goal for this survey is to collect data people’s experience at GRS, and to use this information to advocate for better practices at GRS and associated medical organizations. All submissions are kept strictly confidential, but information from your submissions will be used internally by the TPU and may be included in aggregate statistics discussed with GRS and other organizations (e.g. 50% of patients reported being misgendered).
