Fraedan Mastrantonio is a researcher at the University of Southampton specializing in gender and sexuality studies, with a primary focus on transgender and non-binary health, sexual wellbeing, and relationship dynamics. Their work bridges clinical psychology and social sciences to address critical gaps in understanding diverse gender experiences.
Research interests center on Gender Studies and Health Psychology, specifically examining gender dysphoria, gender euphoria, non-binary identity formation, and sexual health disparities. Mastrantonio employs mixed-methods approaches, combining qualitative depth with quantitative rigor to explore how societal structures impact the lived experiences of gender-diverse populations. Their scholarship emphasizes community-centered research that directly informs clinical practice and policy development.
Recent 2025 publications reveal a cohesive research trajectory analyzing non-binary sexuality through multiple lenses: qualitative investigations of emotional dimensions (euphoria/dysphoria), systematic reviews of quantitative literature, and exploratory studies of partnership dynamics. These works collectively advance understanding of gender beyond binary frameworks while highlighting methodological innovations in studying marginalized populations.
