Mr.

Justin
Yorkville University
I am a Psychology Honours graduate from the University of Guelph, currently pursuing a Master's in Counselling Psychology under the supervision of Dr. Adam Davies, a distinguished scholar in education, gender, and sexuality studies. My academic interests span sexual health, neurological and developmental psychology, and nonlinear/chaos psychology. My passion for understanding the human mind's complexities and my current work in counselling psychology align with my aspiration to become a Registered Clinical Psychologist and Clinical Researcher. I am committed to leveraging my knowledge and skills to make a tangible difference in people's lives, particularly by enhancing mental health and well-being through innovative interventions and strategies. This commitment places me at the forefront of discovery in the field of psychology and aligns with the goal of advancing social work praxis through strengthened multi-sectoral responses to adversity, vulnerability, and trauma.

University of Guelph
I am deeply passionate about psychology, mental health, and close relationships. I am motivated to help others navigate their individual journeys and I am interested in research on relationships, love, attachment, and sexual dynamics. My research and counselling experiences thus far have helped me master critical thinking, time management, as well as communication and collaboration skills.
Currently, I work as an Employment Counsellor and volunteer as a Crisis Responder and Research Assistant. As a recent graduate, with a major in Psychology and minor in Family and Child Studies, I am always looking for new opportunities to get involved in academic research and counselling.

I am currently a fourth-year student at the University of Guelph in the Honours BA Psychology (Co-op) program.
Recently, I have begun working on my undergraduate thesis, looking at the relationship between young adults' problematic use of social networking sites and their sexual consent attitudes and behaviour. I have a particular interest in research on gender-based violence and sexual cybercrime among adolescents and young adults.
On top of my research roles, I have gained community service experience through volunteering with a variety of people including at-risk youth, individuals with ASD, and those in crisis and/or experiencing addiction.

Abstract
Deconstructing Stereotypes: A Clinical Examination of Femmephobia in Gay, Bisexual, and Queer Men's Health Perspectives
THEME 3: Strategies toward the normative development of society
SUB 3.2 Promoting positive role models in gender relational contexts
Poster Presentation
This research investigates the psychological impact of femmephobia on gay, bisexual, and queer men, focusing on the neglected conceptual differences between self-actualized and assigned/essentialized femininity. Femmephobia, interlinked with homophobia, exerts social pressure on men to present more masculine, often leading to the suppression of femininity. This study utilizes the Femininities Scale, based on Femme Theory, to assess the varied ways respondents enact or construe femininity, contributing to a more nuanced understanding of gender dynamics in these populations.
The research aims to illuminate the gendered phenomenon brought forth by the Femininities scale, particularly relating to the mental and social well-being of gay and bisexual men. It seeks to fill the gap in research that potentially overlooks key conceptual differences between self-actualized versus assigned/essentialized femininity. By exploring the psychological impact of feminine multiplicities such as Patriarchal, Hegemonic, Essentialized, and Femme, the study will add to the limited literature that considers the multiple dimensions of femininity as a constructed unitary concept.
This research seeks to promote positive role models in gender relational contexts, by challenging femmephobia and advocating for the acceptance and celebration of diverse gender expressions in gay, bisexual, and queer men's populations.
