      Hi! Good question. I don’t think so, though.

      As a social psychologist, I’m interested in how people and groups can use identification to create boundaries. I work on LGBT rights, as a psychologist and a researcher, for some time, and I think my queer identity is an advantage for that. As discussed by feminist scientists (including some psychologists), personal experiences are part of our job.
