Drawing on interviews with 54 progressive gender activists, we consider how singular they can be used to resist and redo aspects of the prevailing gender structure.
Singular they has emerged as a key term in contemporary gender politics, reflecting growing usage of they/them as nonbinary personal pronouns. “A Little Word That Means A Lot: A Reassessment of Singular They in a New Era of Gender Politics.” Gender & Society, 36(1): 5–31.
These articles also emphasize 1) how sexuality is intersectional, and impacted by race, class, gender, and other social locations and systems of power and oppression, and 2) how individuals – LGBTQIA and otherwise – act, at times very strategically, to resist and/or uphold existing systems. The articles below examine the experiences of LGBTQIA individuals in heteronormative institutions such as education, medicine, the state, the workplace and the family, using a variety of theoretical lenses to demonstrate a multiplicity of ways in which identities are produced, experienced, and enacted in various contexts, and through various processes. The scholarship on LGBTQIA topics published in Gender & Society is diverse, yet tends to have in common a theorization of sexuality and gender as intertwined and, in most cases, inseparable.
