Toma por eixo a estrutura sociocultural e as formas como são engendrados valores, comportamentos e atitudes que conformam corpos de acordo com cada sexo, trazendo consequências como a desigualdade e a intolerância, influindo na multiplicidade de ações violentas contra o outro.

This chapter addresses how the nineteenth century, and its waves of colonization around the world, saw the medicalization of the representation that individuals within European societies, France, the UK, and Arab-Muslim societies developed of their national identities, until then considered to be “cultural,” or even civilizational, identities, in particular, through the “normalization” of sexual orientations and gender identities.

This chapter chronicles how advocates in California have applied strategic communications research and practice to change policies and build the movement for inclusive and affirming schools. It begins with an exploration of lessons from psychology, neuroscience, and political theory about changing opinions and how those lessons apply to efforts to create schools that are more welcoming for people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender. It then shows how advocates put those lessons into practice through campaigns that ensured students in California can go to a school that is free of discrimination and includes positive portrayals of people of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities. While anchored in case studies from the United States, the underlying concepts of how people think, feel, and act—and how advocates can better shape their communications—are universal.

Many Americans are uncomfortable with transgender people and rights, and changing those attitudes requires a new approach. This chapter describes Identity Reassurance Theory, a method of helping targets of persuasion shift their attitudes to better align with their preexisting senses of themselves as moral human beings. The chapter also includes key definitions and background about public opinion about various sexual orientations and gender identities, including differences in attitudes toward transgender men and women in different scenarios and environments. Other data explore levels of and predictors of attitudes toward transgender people and rights.

Abstract Introduction Consensual nonmonogamy (CNM) is a form of relationship practiced by many despite widespread stigma against it. In this study, we explore evidence of strong, persistent desire for CNM among some individuals, and look for commonalities among these individuals. Method Between February 2019 and June 2020, we conducted qualitative, semi-structured interviews with 51 US adults who had practiced CNM for between 3 and 50 years, recruited via community contacts and snowball method. Participants reported a broad diversity of sexual orientations and gender identities; 62.7% reported European/white ancestry. We conducted thematic analysis to examine evidence of strong, persistent desire for CNM and common characteristics and experiences among participants. Results We describe 7 sub-themes that suggest a strong desire for CNM, such as pursuing CNM early in life, experiencing difficulties in attempts at monogamy, and describing one’s desire for CNM as enduring or unchangeable. We then describe 9 characteristics and experiences that were common among participants, such as a preference for autonomy, not experiencing categorical distinctions among relationships, desiring to make life plans with multiple adults, and exposure to communities whose norms do not assume monogamy. Conclusions Our data indicate a pattern of desires, life choices, and self-perceptions suggesting that some individuals strongly desire and persistently pursue CNM (whereas others appear to be comfortable with both CNM and monogamy). Policy Implications Our results suggest that some individuals consistently desire and pursue CNM relationships, and therefore would benefit from efforts toward destigmatization and reduction of institutional disadvantage against the practice of CNM.

The purpose of this study was to examine parenting aspiration among a sample of 1,995 childless cisgender, transgender, monosexual (gay/lesbian), and plurisexual (bisexual/pansexual/queer) Mexican individuals, which were compared according to their gender identity (cisgender vs. transgender) and sexual orientation (monosexual vs. plurisexual). For monosexual individuals, only being in a relationship and gender were significantly associated with parenting aspiration whereas for plurisexual individuals, gender, LGBTQ community connectedness, and internalized homo/transnegativity were associated with parenting aspiration. Plurisexual women and transgender individuals reported the lowest level of parenting aspiration, significantly differing from plurisexual men, who reported the highest. Nevertheless, the average score on parenting aspiration was low for the sample as a whole. These findings are discussed in light of Mexico’s current social context and political transformations around family and gender.
