That's amazing! My research is on the need for improved human sexuality training for counselling psychologists to enable them to better serve sexual and gender minorities and those who practice alternative relationship styles. :)) I'm queer myself and I did a lot of research into the negative experiences in mental health services that queer folks still face as I was making my case in my proposal—your research is so important!
We're also in the same committee, it looks like!Oh my gosh your research is super important!! I am queer too and would like to focus on autistic queer folks (late diagnosed person myself) and access to affirming counselling has been huge for me - so much needs to change here for folks so I am so happy to see you doing this research! And the alternative relationship styles just adds another layer of alienation for folks (I know this from experience too). Thanks for sharing and commiserating on the wait here! I haven’t posted much about my research yet but if you’d like to follow me on Twitter my handle is @LindseyThomson3

100% agree with you- it wouldn't have been difficult to send a mass email just to say we're sorry and you should hear soon. What is your research on? We should be able to figure out your committee that way!
My research is looking at storytelling methods with autistic women and trans and/or non-binary folks to improve relevant health and mental health services - the ‘preferred selection committee’ says 7524?

What frustrates me the most is that there hasn't been any apology or even understanding on their part of the toll that this would take on the small group that's still waiting to hear. Their automatic email reply says "we invite them to be patient"; there is nothing anywhere about how the results have been missing for a week and the delay has now taken us past the latest possible date that they promised (end of April). No kind of recognition that this was an error on their end that students are now forced to deal with. Even a simple "We apologize for the delay" would have helped.
I am so glad I found this forum and to know others are also waiting in frustration - I don’t know which committee I am in, but I agree that they are past their deadline and the 6 month wait is already brutal enough. I thought for sure everyone would have heard back by Friday last week. They could have at least provided an update via social media to say they’re still working on it. Our deadlines as applicants are not flexible so the least they could have done is an apology and brief update to say when results may be available. Thanks for venting along with me lol.

My results email came through at 11pm so I hope all of yours did too! I didn’t get it this time but I think I know what to do for next time and feel good about just getting more specific with my methods. Best of luck to you all!!
