Abstract:

This essay explores the notion of gender identity as a dynamic process, modelled by socio-cultural relationships, in the context of education in Latin America. The historical construction of schooling in recent decades is discussed through some documents of UNESCO. As an example of gender inequality within educational proposals, some texts from children’s literature will be analysed to highlight the gender stereotypes that still exist in the editorial industry today.

Abstract:

We review theory and research on the assessment, development, and consequences of individual differences in gender identity, as studied among ordinary school children. Gender identity encompasses children’s appraisals of compatibility with, and motivation to fit in with, gender collectives; it is a multidimensional construct. Five dimensions of gender identity are considered in depth: felt same-gender typicality, felt other-gender typicality, gender contentedness, felt pressure for gender conformity, and intergroup bias. A host of cognitive, affective, social, and defensive processes contribute to these forms of gender identity, all of which in turn affect children’s psychosocial adjustment. Felt same-gender typicality promotes self-esteem and protects children from harmful effects of stressors, but it is associated with negative attitudes toward other-gender peers and activities unless children feel at least somewhat similar to the other gender as well. Felt other-gender typicality distresses children who do not also feel same-gender–typical. The other three gender identity variables encourage self-serving behavior (e.g., dominance) if children view it as appropriate for their gender. Children who feel gender-atypical or discontent with their gender suffer considerable distress if they feel pressure for gender conformity. Gender contentedness may be a particularly powerful contributor to children’s adoption of gender-typed behavior.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to introduce the Special Issue developed from a joint research seminar of the Gender in Management and Identity Special Interest Groups of the British Academy of Management, entitled “Exploring the Intersectionality of Gender and Identity”. It also presents an introductory literature review of intersectionality for gender in management and identity/identity work researchers. The authors highlight the similarities and differences of intersectionality and identity approaches and introduce critiques of intersectional research. They then introduce the three papers in this Special Issue. Design/methodology/approach – The authors review the intersectionality literature within and outside management and organisation studies and focus their attention on three intersectionality Special Issues (Sex Roles, 2008, 2013 and the European Journal of Women’s Studies, 2006). Findings – The authors outline the ongoing debates relating to intersectionality research, including a framework and/or theory for identity/identity work, and explore the shared tenets of theories of intersectionality and identity. They highlight critiques of intersectionality research in practice and consider areas for future research for gender in management and identity researchers. Research limitations/implications – The authors provide an architecture for researchers to explore intersectionality and to consider issues before embarking on intersectional research. They also highlight areas for future research, including social-identities of disability, class and religion. Originality/value – Gender in Management: An International Journal invited this Special Issue to make a significant contribution to an under-researched area by reviewing the shared and different languages and importantly the shared key tenets, of intersectionality, gender, identity and identity work from a multidisciplinary perspective.

Abstract:

Jade Snow Wong’s autobiographical novel Fifth Chinese Daughter, as an early classic of Asian American literature, has aroused wide concern since its publication, in which, food images as important elements play a prominent role in the author’s identity construction. Based on the theories of cultural identity, imagism, and feminist criticism, this paper focuses on the food images related to Jade Snow Wong’s identity construction in Fifth Chinese Daughter, and reveals the influence of these images on her identity construction. Food images in this novel, as media connecting two different cultures and genders, help break the Chinese American women’s marginalized status in culture and gender, and promote their construction of cultural identity as well as gender identity.

Abstract:

Gender, identity and sexuality have to be more closely integrated into the broader discussion of literature and language, which can be achieved only through wider application of literary texts in the teaching process. Teaching literature to students of English serves not only the purpose of building an understanding of the human experience, but also tackles the issues of femininity and masculinity and helps sensitize the students to the gender differences and the codes of patriarchal society which result in male dominance. Poems by Emily Dickinson, Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton have proved as valuable texts in teaching gender, as will be discussed in the paper, which focuses on Plath?s ?Lady Lazarus? and the strategies the educator can select in order to achieve the desired objective.

Abstract:

Although the concept of intersectionality has gained widespread attention in psychological research, there remains a significant gap related to the impact of intersectionality on identity formation for persons negotiating multiple minority statuses. This gap is especially pronounced among sexual and gender expansive women of Latinx and African American descent—two groups that face disparate personal and public health risks but are largely ignored in the research literature. In response to this gap, we carried out a qualitative study using constructivist grounded theory with 20 Latinx and African American sexual minority, gender expansive women to understand participants’ experiences of forming an intersectional social identity. Following an exploration of identity formation related to the specific domains of race, gender identity, and sexual orientation, we prompted participants to consider how each of the specified identity domains impacted the formation and experience of an overall intersectional identity (e.g., how racial position impacted gender identity and/or sexual identity formation). Findings revealed four major themes that were critical in identity formation: (a) family and cultural expectations, (b) freedom to explore identity, (c) the constant negotiation of insider/outsider status, and (d) identity integration as an act of resistance. Implications for future research and psychological services are discussed.

Abstract. This research article explores the evolving portrayals of gender identity in 21st-century British and Azerbaijani literature, shedding light on the diverse perspectives and narratives that reflect the changing sociocultural landscapes of these two distinct regions. Through an analysis of selected literary works, the study aims to examine how authors like Ali Smith's, Jeanette Winterson's, Zadie Smith, Alan Hollinghurst, etc. from UK and Jafar Jabbarli, Yusif Vazir Chamanzaminli, Afag Masud, etc. from Azerbaijan engage with and represent gender identity, challenging traditional norms and contributing to the ongoing discourse on gender equality and diversity. British literature explores diverse gender expressions, delving into fluid identities and the intersectionality of gender with other facets of diversity. Simultaneously, Azerbaijani literature grapples with the complexities of modernity, offering insights into how societal shifts impact perceptions of gender roles and individual identity.

Abstract:

Gender identity is an important aspect of children's self-development that is influenced by various factors, including the social environment and digital technology. This study aims to explore the influence of digital media on the formation of gender identity in children in the digital era through a literature study method. The study analyzes a variety of relevant literature sources, including books, scientific journals, and academic articles, to identify key themes and gaps in the existing literature. The focus of the research includes the influence of social media, digital games, educational content, and the dynamics of online interaction on children's perception and expression of gender identity. The results show that digital media has a complex role in the formation of gender identity, both positively and negatively, depending on how the media is used and accompanied. The implications of these findings underscore the need for a more inclusive and critical approach to designing and supervising digital content consumed by children. The study also identified several limitations, including limitations in the scope of literature that may not fully represent all aspects of children's experiences with digital media. Recommendations for further research are to conduct more in-depth empirical studies and develop intervention strategies that engage parents, educators, and policymakers to create a more supportive and inclusive digital environment for children's gender identity development.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between the identity and diversity literatures and discuss how a better understanding of the theoretical connections between the two informs both diversity research and diversity management practices. Design/methodology/approach – Literature review followed by a discussion of the theoretical and practical consequences of connecting the identity and diversity literatures. Findings – The authors inform future research in three ways. First, by showing how definitions of identity influence diversity theorizing in specific ways. Second, the authors explore how such definitions entail distinct foci regarding how diversity should be analyzed and interventions actioned. Third, the authors discuss how theoretical coherence between definitions of identity and diversity perspectives – as well as knowledge about a perspective’s advantages and limitations – is crucial for successful diversity management research and practice. Research limitations/implications – The authors argue for a better understanding of differences, overlaps and limits of different identity perspectives, and for a stronger engagement with practice. Practical implications – The work can encourage policy makers, diversity and HR managers to question their own practices and assumptions leading to more theoretical informed diversity management practices. Originality/value – The theoretical connections between identity and diversity literature have so far not been reviewed systematically. The work foregrounds how important it is for diversity scholars to consider identity underpinnings of diversity research to help further develop the field within and beyond the three streams the authors discuss.

Abstract:

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore the mechanisms underlying hiring discrimination against transgender men.Design/methodology/approachThe authors conduct a scenario experiment with final-year business students in which fictitious hiring decisions are made about transgender or cisgender male job candidates. More importantly, these candidates are scored on statements related to theoretical reasons for hiring discrimination given in the literature. The resulting data are analysed using a bivariate analysis. Additionally, a multiple mediation model is run.FindingsSuggestive evidence is found for co-worker and customer taste-based discrimination, but not for employer taste-based discrimination. In addition, results show that transgender men are perceived as being in worse health, being more autonomous and assertive, and have a lower probability to go on parental leave, compared with cisgender men, revealing evidence for (positive and negative) statistical discrimination.Social implicationsTargeted policy measures are needed given the substantial labour market discrimination against transgender individuals measured in former studies. However, to combat this discrimination effectively, one needs to understand its underlying mechanisms. This study provides the first comprehensive exploration of these mechanisms.Originality/valueThis study innovates in being one of the first to explore the relative empirical importance of dominant (theoretical) explanations for hiring discrimination against transgender men. Thereby, the authors take the logical next step in the literature on labour market discrimination against transgender individuals.

Abstract:

The article examines the gender issue in education. The authors point out the need for scientific actualization of the problem of identity and equality based on the review of specialized literature. The advancement of gender identity and gender equality stands as a key direction within the Kazakhstan educational system. Of particular relevance to our study is the refinement of the epistemological underpinnings of gender equality and gender identity development. The purpose of the article is to determine why education is important for achieving gender equality, to identify measures to be taken in terms of promoting education within the realm of gender equality. The article presents an analysis of international regulatory documents, gender equality materials, and insights gathered from various countries worldwide, aiming to understand how some nations implement gender policies. The article's practical significance lies in its examination of global literature on gender equality, accompanied by a relevant research diagram. Survey data from L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University students are presented to gauge their views on gender equality in education. The central concept of the study posits that gender identification and equality are catalysts for social progress. The authors highlight the unique aspects of this issue development in Kazakhstan.

Abstract:

AimsKS is a congenital condition with 47, XXY chromosome karyotype. Due to a lack of understanding of the condition amongst healthcare providers, KS is grossly underdiagnosed, with most patients never receiving a diagnosis. Within this population, gender dysphoria is suggested to be of higher incidence than in the general population. To establish the validity of this claim and to improve care for patients with KS, particularly in the area of gender service provision, we need to identify whether there is a significant proportion of XXY individuals that experience gender dysphoria. The aim of our study is to determine whether UK patients with a diagnosis of KS are more predisposed to gender dissatisfaction.MethodsA PRISMA literature review was conducted on the epidemiology, management, and treatment outcomes of KS patients with gender dysphoria. Based on the results of the literature review, we then conducted a cross-sectional survey of patients serviced by the Klinefelter Syndrome Association on gender satisfaction. The survey recorded 81 responses.ResultsOf the entire study population, gender distribution was 65% male, 6% female, 4% non-binary, 2% gender fluid, 3% neither, 1% equally male and female, and 1% intersex. This contrasted with most patients’ assigned birth on their birth certificate, which was 92.5% male and 3.75% female. Most patients surveyed enjoyed living as the sex written on their birth certificate (61.64%), which seemed to correlate closely with the proportion of patients that identified as male (65%).ConclusionLiterature Review: As a whole, KS patients documented in research presented to psychiatric and sexual health services during adulthood, requesting either sex reassignment surgery or changes to hormonal replacement therapy. The sparse amount of research over a long period of time has created a reliance on outdated research techniques. Patient Survey: Survey results show that there are a significant proportion of survey respondents that do not identify as male despite it being written on their birth certificate; however, the majority prefer to be identified as male. This suggests that certain individuals with KS are at higher risk of gender dissatisfaction and dysphoria. Importantly, these observations are not substantiated with clinical judgement of a psychiatrist/mental health worker, which should aim to be incorporated in future research. Additionally, longitudinal studies should aim to establish whether certain age groups would be more at risk of gender dissatisfaction and gender dysphoria or if trends change with age.

Abstract:

Traditionally, gender identity disorder (GID) is associated with high level of psychiatric comorbidity, particularly psychotic and affective disorders. The aim of this study is to evaluate clinical aspect of GID in a sample of patients in charge of the Operative Unit for Diagnosis and Therapy of GID, Psychiatric Clinic and the Department of Endocrinology, University of Cagliari.Assessment was made by SCID-I, for Axis I comorbidity, GAF, for global functioning, BUT for body discomfort (BUT-A measures different aspects of body image, BUT-B looks at worries about particular body parts).The sample comprised 14 MtF (56%) and 11 FtM (44%), of age between 17–49 years; a diagnosed psychiatric disorder was reported in 32%: 16% mood disorders, 12% anxiety disorders, 4% psychotic disorders. Among subject with GAF < 85, 58.3% were identify to have a Axis I disorder compare to 7,7% patients with GAF ≥ 85 (P = .011), especially for mood disorders (P = .039). Main score of Global Severity Index (GSI) for BUT-A was 2.45 ± 883; all subjects had a score GSI > 1.2 (clinically relevant discomfort index).Regarding BUT-B, MtF have higher scores in PSDI global scale (3.37 ± .577; P = 0.019) and subscale VI (4.38 ± 1.496 vs. .81 ± 1.864; P = 0.006): there are not significant gender differences in the others subscales, although discomfort regards different aspects of both sexes.According to literature, we observed a slightly higher prevalence of Axis I psychiatric disorders compare to general population, with functioning level statistically significant.Generally, GID was not associated with higher level of psychopathology, appearing as specific diagnostic aspect, where the main origin of discomfort is dissatisfaction toward self-body imagine.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Abstract:

This article examines the relationship between gender and Uyghur identity through the story of Nuzugum, the allegory of a Kashgar woman who kills an enemy outsider she is forced to marry rather than yield her chastity and bear his children. Tracing the story from its nineteenth-century roots to literary, artistic, and political incarnations in recent decades, the article argues that the story's prominence in the canon of Uyghur literature and its eponymous protagonist's place among Uyghur national heroes highlights the integral but overlooked role of gender in the construction of modern Uyghur identity. The resiliency of the story's gendered themes also underscores gender's importance in contemporary Uyghur political advocacy, especially advocacy about the transfer of Uyghur women to factories in China's coastal cities, an issue connected to the July 2009 protests and riots in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.

Abstract:

Introduction. One of the tasks of modern gender linguistics is to reveal non-verbalmeans that help to construe gender distinctions of the character and the image of the authoras well. Studying the critical literature concerning such aspects as the image of the author,implied author, author and narrator proved the actuality of the subject of the given investigation.Critical works’ analysis showed that this facet has not been studied well, there are still a lot ofgaps, as for instance, non-verbal means of author’s image construing. Purpose. The paper aimsto reveal paragraphemic means used by the women writers in French autobiographical novelsand suggest narrative and pragmatic facet of author’s gender identity construing in Frenchautobiographical novels written by women writers. Methods. To define the functions ofparagraphemic means in author’s gender identity construing the investigation is methodologicallygrounded on narrative, pragmatic and stylistic analysis. Results: The paper singles out andclassifies the group of paragraphemic means which help to construe author’s gender identityin French autobiographical novel written by women-writers. Dominant place among such meansbelongs to the pictures breaking the narrative of the novel, the size of narrative, italic meansof accentuating the author’s intention and numbering the abstracts. Conclusion. Paragraphemicsis applied facet in linguistics that studies graphical text organization and the functions of nonverbal means in revealing the author’s intentions. Being restricted in their proper meaningsnon-verbal means bound semantic variety of phrase or supra-phrasal units. They introducesome information in that way as it is supposed to be decoded by the reader. Non-verbal meanshelp to make the image of the author and construe his/her gender identity.

AbstractThis article focuses on Bulgarian women writers’ activities, their reception, and their problematic existence in the context of the modernizing and emancipatory trends in Bulgarian society after the Liberation (1878–1944). The analysis is based on the concept of the (intellectual) hierarchy of genders and mechanisms of gender tutelage, traced in the specifics of women’s literary texts, their critical and public resonance, and the authors’ complicated relation with the Bulgarian literary canon. The question is topical, given the noticeable absence of women writers in the corpus of Bulgarian authors/ literary texts, thought and among those considered representative in terms of national identity and culture. The study is based on primary source materials such as works by Bulgarian women writers, the periodical press from the period, various archival materials, and scholarly publications relevant to the topic.

Abstract:

Iranian women's first attempt at changing their social conditions dates back to the Qajar era, continuing up to the present time. In recent years, the traditional discourse on women in Iran has changed significantly, resulting in ongoing revisions concerning modern Iranian female gender identity. Yet, this new conception of identity has not been reflected in official Iranian media. Similarly, children's books usually depict women and girls mostly within pre-established ideological frameworks. However, a seminal publication project acted as a game-changer in 2010. ‘Today's Young Adult Fiction’, commissioned by the Institute for the Intellectual Development of Children and Young Adults, invited many children's and adolescents' novelists to contribute to a collection of novels with a new outlook. Among the published books, some writers narrated women's issues and struggles in the guise of young adult literature. Hasti (2013), a novel by Farhad Hassanzadeh, comes from this project, emerging as an exemplar of protest against gender stereotypes. We argue that Hassanzadeh's book has been influenced by radical changes in gender identity in Iran's recent years, and in turn, this novel, among other literary and artistic works, may raise awareness and affect the process of change in Iranian society.

One of the first plays from the Uttar Pradesh hinterlands that ventured to challenge gender and sexual conventions was possibly Sanjay Jauhari's LGBTQ drama Kinnar Ma. A play by Sanjay Jauhari adds to and enhances the Parnassus in a world where sex is forbidden and sexual equality, acceptance, and dignity are trendy concepts right now. The play was written by the author "to write something about their wretched lives" out of pure charity and magnanimity. (Summary by Kinnar Ma) The current collection is an artistic homage to our society's transgender population. The play is about the trials and tribulations of a transgender named Lali who suffers the discrimination on account of being a transgender. A strong and significant work of literature, "Kinnar Ma," illuminates the difficulties faced by the transgender minority in India. It pushes for a more inclusive and equal environment for everyone, questions traditional standards, and highlights the value of acceptance and love. The tale serves as a reminder that everyone deserves to be treated with respect, decency, and compassion, regardless of their gender identification.

Abstract:

Abstract Caregivers of older adults with chronic illness provide essential care that benefits individuals and society. Many factors influence health outcomes related to the caregiving role. The purpose of this review is to explore how caregiver health outcomes may vary by gender. Data sources include CINAHL, Google Scholar, Google and PsychINFO. Eligible studies focused on gender-based differences in psychological and emotional outcomes of primary informal or familial caregivers (ie, spouses, children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, neighbors, and friends) of an older adult with chronic illness. The Caregiver Identity Theory (CIT) guided this study. Twelve studies were eligible for this review. Consistent with the CIT, negative outcomes are associated with changing role identity throughout the care recipient’s disease progression, and these outcomes differ between genders. Women tended to experience higher overall burden, stress, anxiety, shame and role strain; however, some studies found that men may be affected more during the initial transition into the caregiver role. Methodological limitations of primary research in this area included the use of cross-sectional design, poor generalization to US populations since most studies were conducted outside of the US, and disproportionately fewer male participants across studies. Overall, gender differences in health outcomes among caregivers exist, and other variables relating to gender, such as kinship and age, may also be important factors. Findings suggest health professionals should create individualized engagement, communication, and training strategies with considerations for gender differences in design. Future studies including more male caregivers and more diverse participants is warranted.

Abstract:

Haraway (1985, 1991) presents a futuristic, utopian vision of a gender-free space as the distinction between human and machine becomes indistinct in the age of global technologization. This article explores how such an idealized perspective corresponds with the current reality of gender identity in cyberspace. The fluidity of gender identities is examined by conducting a linguistic analysis of the strategies advertisers use to address their targeted subjects via electronic mail (email). The option of gender neutrality is available within email as a user’s gender identity can be concealed by a non-gender specific user name, and data are analysed from a series of messages sent to a non-gender specific email account hosted by one of the world’s largest email service providers. While the fluidity of gender identity can be clearly observed, a quantitative analysis reveals that the targeted gender identity is one of heterosexual masculinity. Despite recent statistics that women now use the Internet just as frequently as men, disembodied advertisers can be viewed constructing fictional personae to entice male recipients to pay for heterosexual pornography or products to enhance male heterosexual performance. When female gender identity is invoked within these messages, women are viewed as passive and consumable (Mills, 1995). Therefore, instead of producing an environment where distinctions between genders are diminished as Haraway hoped, binary oppositions are intensified as the dominant gender discourses of femininity and masculinity are produced and reproduced through these messages.

Abstract:

Abstract This article focuses on the linguistic aspects of the construction of masculine identities by the burrneshat (also known as “sworn virgins”) of northern Albania: biological females who have become “social men”. Unlike other “third genders” (Kulick, Don. 1999. Transgender and language: A review of the literature and suggestions for the future. GLQ: A Journal of Lesbian and Gay Studies 5(4). 605622.), the burrneshat are motivated not by personal identity or sexual desire, but by the need to fulfill patriarchal roles within a traditional social code. Burrneshat do not marry or engage in sexual relationships, and are thus seen as honorable and self-sacrificing (Young, Antonia. 2000. Women who become men: Albanian sworn virgins. Oxford & New York: Berg.). How do burrneshat construct and express their identity linguistically, and how do others engage with this identity? I examine the effects of social and linguistic factors on variation in the use of grammatical gender in the speech of burrneshat and others in their communities. I find that choices in grammatical gender are linked to the speaker’s relationship to burrneshat, the grammatical context of the token, and whether the token is in oral or written language. An analysis of other gendered practices confirms language’s role in building masculine identities. Situated within a culture that embraces women becoming men, this study sheds light onto the linguistic practices used by speakers in the co-construction of gender.

Abstract:

The Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games has brought great strides in terms of equality and inclusion. At least 185 publicly out LGBTIQ+ athletes have attended this global mega-event, which is more than triple the number from the 2016 Rio Olympics. This study investigates the sports participation of the LGBTIQ+ group based on qualitative method of literature review and logical analysis. It first examines the literature about the LGBTIQ+ group's sports participation and then sheds light on the evolution of gender characteristics of Olympics and sports from a historical research perspective. Finally, taking Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games as an example, this work discusses the state quo and future of the LGBTIQ+ group's Olympic participation. The results indicate that sex discrimination in sports has a long history. As the most important global sporting event, the Olympic Games have gone through different stages from the "male-exclusivity" to the gender binary system. However, true gender equality has not yet been realized. In addition, it points out that the Tokyo Olympics is of positive significance for promoting inclusiveness and equality. The ever-developing inclusiveness and diversity will probably break the gender competition mechanism of the Olympic Games. Sports institutions need to deal well with issues of gender equality and fair competition

Abstract:

Background Recently, increased social and scientific attention has been paid to gender detransition, a phenomenon in which individuals discontinue gender-affirming medical interventions (GAMI) aimed at alleviating gender dysphoria (GD). Yet, clinical knowledge of detransitioners and their experiences is still scarce. Case reports published in the literature suggest that both internal and external factors may influence this decision. Methods Two transgender individuals treated for GD at a gender identity unit presented with a desire to discontinue GAMI. A description of their clinical evolution is presented. Results Increased body satisfaction, self-esteem, self-acceptance, and self-empowerment with respect to their transgender identity were mentioned by the patients as reasons for discontinuing gender-affirming treatments. Coinciding factors included reduced GD, positive changes in social environments, better interpersonal functioning, and higher levels of psychological well-being in general. Conclusions Gender detransition is an under-researched phenomenon. These cases highlight the need for a more nuanced approach to gender-related clinical presentations, which involves providing individuals the opportunity to work on their social ecosystems and explore alternative options to manage GD before initiating GAMI.

Abstract:

PurposeThis study aims to develop a model for female expatriate work adjustment from the identity conflict perspective.Design/methodology/approachThis is a theoretical paper that focuses on integrating the existing literature and proposing new constructive relationships.FindingsWe study female expatriates' adjustment processes in the work domain from the identity conflict perspective. Specifically, we categorize female expatriates' identities in the work domain into their gender identity and a work-related role identity cluster and propose that when gender identity is salient, unsupportive national and organizational cultures will lead to gender–work role identity conflicts and eventually result in maladjustment in the work domain.Originality/valueFirst, we suggest that female expatriates' work role identities can form a cluster that includes expatriate role, managerial role and occupational role identity. We further theorize how the gender role identity and the work-related role identity cluster of female expatriates interact to influence how they adjust to their work. Second, we explore two contingency factors – host organizational culture and host national culture–and explain how they influence the interaction between female expatriates' gender identity and work-related role identities. Finally, we introduce the concept of gender–work role identity conflict and theorize how it serves as the underlying mechanism linking female expatriate identity patterns and work adjustment.

Abstract:

Scholars have called for increased attention to within-group variability in models and measures of identity development. As a step toward responding to these calls, the current review focuses on the womanist identity development model as a model of gender-related identity development that has been argued to be applicable to women across racial/ethnic, class, and other groups. The review provides an introduction to the womanist identity development model and its operationalization, critically analyzes literature on the model and its measurement, and explores directions for further development of womanist identity development theory and research.

Abstract:

Purpose This narrative review aims to examine how trans people with intellectual disabilities are perceived and discussed in the academic literature. Design/methodology/approach A narrative review was carried out to better understand the positioning of people with intellectual disabilities who identify as trans. Findings There was a lack of clear terminology, an over medicalization of both people with intellectual disabilities and trans people and evidence that identifying with a non-conforming gender identity was seen as a problem by services. Services need to be better informed about issues around gender identity so that they are able to better support trans people with intellectual disabilities. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no previous literature review has focused only on trans people with intellectual disabilities.

Abstract:

Introduction: Health professionals are unable to predict whether gender nonconforming distress or manifestations will continue after puberty. They also hold varied ideologies about gender. Information about these indicators lacks integration to benefit decision-making about how to intervene in childhood gender dysphoria. Aims: The aim of this review was to synthesize the literature on early indicators that anticipate the continuity of childhood gender dysphoria following puberty. A secondary aim, because of the ideological debates that underpin clinical decisions in transgender health care, was to critically interpret that literature. Methods: A critical interpretive synthesis was selected to integrate and offer a critical appraisal of literature (n=20). Results: A synthesizing argument was developed from four constructs: the intensity of gender dysphoric feelings, the child’s assertion of their gender identity, the stability of gender identity, and gender is a composite of multiple selves. Conclusions: The framing of experts’ arguments fed into presumed stability of gender identity. No single homogenous indicator can be postulated, but a compartmentalizing process is needed to understand the experiential world of a child’s gender nonconformity so that one concept (dysphoria about gender identity) can be teased apart from other investments of gender, body, and sexuality. Our constructs of the intensity of feelings and gender as a composite of multiple selves were found to challenge DSM-5 criteria. Understanding that multiple transitions may occur can help a child locate a gendered positioning in which they are comfortable. This could enable health practitioners offer affirmative care while remaining cautious about using medical treatments that cannot be reversed. The search for indicators itself, however, can be considered a historical moment, given the developments in the field in the 2 years after this review was conducted.

Abstract:

Purpose In several Western legislations, trans individuals must frequently undergo some form of gender identity assessment, for example, to receive legal recognition of their gender or to access therapeutic interventions. Thus, a standardised and empirically supported assessment approach becomes necessary. The purpose of this paper is to critically reflect on the current international guidelines for assessments by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, which will be compared to standards in secure forensic settings, illustrated by British prison policies. Design/methodology/approach Findings of a systematic literature review following preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis standards are presented, summarising the current state of research pertaining to gender identity assessment instruments. Studies were included, when they presented empirical details pertaining to assessment approaches and passed the quality appraisal, but were excluded when they did not use a trans sample or presented clinical assessments not linked to gender identity. Findings A total of 21 included English articles, which mostly have been published in the USA in the past 20 years, propose ten different assessment approaches. Most of the studies support the use of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2, the Bem Sex-Role Inventory, Body Image Scale for Transsexuals and the Gender Identity/Gender Dysphoria Questionnaire for Adolescents and Adults. The instruments are briefly summarised. Practical implications It becomes apparent that this field is severely understudied and that there is no consensus regarding the best assessment approach. Hence, any recommendations are only preliminary and are contextualised with further ethical considerations and suggestions for future research. Originality/value To the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first systematic literature review pertaining to the (semi-)structured assessment of gender identity.

Abstract:

The diversity of gender and the struggle of identity are considered as two of the main themes in literature equally in the classics and modernist, from the gender perspective; the male identity was reflected as supreme to the female as they were being projected in an inferior position. Yet in the post-modern literature different spaces have being emerging to create a plot where gender and identity weren’t limited to the traditional space but either liminal in one stage or rather liberal from all limitation; both of these possibilities are to be considered in this study

Abstract:

Representative bureaucracy examines how identity impacts bureaucratic decision-making. Under certain circumstances, identity congruence between government officials and citizens will result in positive outcomes. This article explores how representative bureaucracy literature studies the effects of gender identity and matching. Although studies demonstrate that context and organizational environment impact identity, scholars don’t systematically analyze how outcomes are affected by gender, rely predominantly on binary gender variables, seldom acknowledge organizations as masculine spaces, and don’t problematize masculinity. Using critical gender theory, we offer new proposals for how to expand our understanding of institutionalized gender norms as they relate to public sector decisions.
