  • Girls’ Stuff? Maternal Gender Stereotypes and Their Daughters’ Fear.Antje B. M. Gerdes, Laura-Ashley Fraunfelter, Melissa Braband & Georg W. Alpers - 2022 - Frontiers in Psychology 12.
    One of the most robust findings in psychopathology is the fact that specific phobias are more prevalent in women than in men. Although there are several theoretical accounts for biological and social contributions to this gender difference, empirical data are surprisingly limited. Interestingly, there is evidence that individuals with stereotypical feminine characteristics are more fearful than those with stereotypical masculine characteristics; this is beyond biological sex. Because gender role stereotypes are reinforced by parental behavior, we aimed to examine the relationship (...)

  • The Gender Buffet: LGBTQ Parents Resisting Heteronormativity.Kate Henley Averett - 2016 - Gender and Society 30 (2):189-212.
    Many parents and child-rearing experts prefer that children exhibit gender-normative behavior, a preference that is linked to the belief that children are, or should be, heterosexual. But how do LGBTQ parents—who may not hold these preferences—approach the gender socialization of their children? Drawing on in-depth interviews with both members in 18 LGBTQ couples, I find that these parents attempt to provide their children with a variety of gendered options for clothing, toys, and activities—a strategy that I call the “gender buffet.” (...)

  • The Gender Binary Meets the Gender-Variant Child: Parents’ Negotiations with Childhood Gender Variance.Elizabeth P. Rahilly - 2015 - Gender and Society 29 (3):338-361.
    Until recently, raising a young child as transgender was culturally unintelligible. Most scholarship on transgender identity refers to adults’ experiences and perspectives. Now, the increasing visibility of gender-variant children, as they are identified by the parents who raise them, presents new opportunities to examine how individuals confront the gender binary and imagine more gender-inclusive possibilities. Drawing on Foucault’s notion of “truth regime” to conceptualize the regulatory forces of the gender binary in everyday life, this work examines the strategies of 24 (...)

  • Same-Sex Marriage and the Future of the LGBT Movement: SWS Presidential Address.Mary Bernstein - 2015 - Gender and Society 29 (3):321-337.
    In this article, I respond to queer critiques of the pursuit of same-sex marriage. I first examine the issue of normalization through a consideration of the everyday lives of same-sex couples with children, a subject about which queer critics are strangely silent. Children force same-sex couples to be out in multiple areas of their lives and recent court cases explicitly challenge the idea that same-sex couples do not make fit parents. Second, I examine whether same-sex marriage will address structural inequalities (...)

  • “We Want Them to Be as Heterosexual as Possible”: Fathers Talk about Their Teen Children’s Sexuality.Sinikka Elliott & Nicholas Solebello - 2011 - Gender and Society 25 (3):293-315.
    This article examines heterosexual fathers’ descriptions of conversations with their teen children about sexuality and their perceptions of their teen children’s sexual identities. We show that fathers construct their own identities as masculine and heterosexual in the context of these conversations and prefer that their children, especially sons, are heterosexual. Specifically, fathers feel accountable for their sons’ sexuality and model and craft heterosexuality for them, even as many encourage their sons to stay away from heterosexual relationships and sex until they (...)

  • Heteronormativity and Homonormativity as Practical and Moral Resources: The Case of Lesbian and Gay Elders.Dana Rosenfeld - 2009 - Gender and Society 23 (5):617-638.
    Studies of heteronormativity have emphasized its normative content and repressive functions, but few have considered the strategic use of heteronormative and homonormative precepts to shape sexual selves, public identities, and social relations. Adopting an interactionist approach, this article analyzes interviews with homosexual elders to uncover their use of heteronormative premises to pass as heterosexual. Informants also used homonormative precepts, grounded in a postwar, pre-gay liberation assimilationist homosexual politics they adopted in their early years and maintained in later life, to justify (...)
