“…For instance, gender-atypical faces were associated with bisexual categorizations and were rated more negatively, partially by disfluent processing in the early stages of social perception . Such a negative bias against androgynous people has also been shown by implicit procedures (Atwood & Axt, 2021;Axt et al, 2021).…”

“…Androgynous individuals possess similar levels of feminine and masculine traits (Kark, 2020); that is, they exhibit aesthetic and/or behavioural characteristics of an ambiguous nature. It is worth mentioning that the current research focuses on the perception of androgynous faces (i.e., physical androgyny via morphing of sex-typical female and male faces) and not on the sexuality of androgynous individuals (for a similar approach; see Atwood & Axt, 2021).…”

Postulating a negative bias towards social ambiguity, we conducted cross‐cultural online research to assess whether categorical discrepancies in the perception of androgynous faces were associated with the uncanny feeling and inferences of different morality. Across four studies, we found that androgynous faces were harder to classify into a binary sex category than sex‐typical faces, but this difficulty did not influence social judgements of androgynous targets in a negative fashion. In Study 1 (Spanish‐speaking sample, N = 76), we found that androgynous faces were rated as more trustworthy, less creepy, and less morally different than sex‐typical faces. Study 2 replicated most of the findings from Study 1 in an Italian sample (N = 45). Positive bias towards androgyny was not replicated with a different set of stimuli featuring faces of diverse ethnic backgrounds (Study 3, Spanish‐speaking sample, N = 140). However, results revealed a main effect of ethnicity in participants’ responses. When controlling for the effect of morphing procedures in stimuli selection, an overall positive bias towards androgynous targets arose, especially when compared to masculine targets (Study 4, Spanish‐speaking sample, N = 85). These findings suggest that, at least in certain conditions, a positive social bias towards androgynous faces may emerge that does not depend on categorical uncertainty and facial attractiveness.

“…How would these cues influence people's perceptions of someone who shares their pronouns when they aren't sure of the person's gender identity? Future research might include visual and/or audio stimuli that show people who vary in these features as well (e.g., Atwood & Axt, 2021). Finally, future work might also study perceptions of those who use neopronouns (e.g., “ze/zir,” “xe/xem,” etc.…”

Beyond virtue signaling: Perceived motivations for pronoun sharing

Sharing one's pronouns when introducing oneself is an emerging practice intended to prevent assumptions of what pronouns to use when referring to others. This practice may make people comfortable sharing their pronouns so that they are not misgendered and may signal inclusiveness to transgender and nonbinary (TGNB) people. How do people in the United States perceive the motivations behind pronoun sharing? Three preregistered experiments (N = 2641), in addition to three pilot studies (N = 8219; results presented in Supporting Information), conducted in the United States reveal that people perceive at least three underlying motivations for pronoun sharing when they learn that someone shared their pronouns in a workplace introduction: reputation signaling (trying to enhance one's own reputation), identity signaling (straightforwardly indicating one's identity and how one would like to be addressed), and norm support (sincerely endorsing pronoun sharing as a norm). We also show that the sharer's TGNB identity influences the motivations that observers infer. In general, we find that perceptions of straightforward identity signaling and collective benefit-oriented norm support are higher, and perceptions of self-oriented reputation signaling are lower, when the sharer is transgender rather than cisgender. This study provides a novel characterization of social perceptions of transinclusive behavior.

“…In a certain way, this list corresponds to the classification of somatic rights of the Russian scientist Lavrik (2005). Researcher Slanov (2008), adds same-sex marriage, organ and tissue transplantation, sterilisation, abortion, prostitution, cloning, and the death penalty to the list of somatic rights (Nowak & Rauh, 2008;Atwood & Axt, 2021). The authors consider it appropriate to clarify that the Charter of the European Union on Fundamental Rights clearly states that when applying the achievements of medicine and biology, a number of requirements must be particularly observed, in particular regarding the prohibition of human reproduction by cloning.…”

Legal aspects of gender identity in Ukraine

et al. 2021

The issue of gender identity in the modern world is becoming increasingly relevant. The place of a person's right to recognise their gender identity in the Ukrainian legal plane is uncertain. The study considers the specific features of regulating the human right to recognise gender identity and gender reassignment in Ukraine. The authors of the study consider personal non-property rights of an individual as a specific concept, and somatic rights – as a generic concept, the main meaning of which is the ability to dispose of one's body. Accordingly, a person's right to recognition of their gender identity is a personal non-property right. In Ukraine, legal regulation of gender change is carried out, but certain regulations come into force only in the event of a legal fact of gender change, although their provisions regulate the direct implementation of such a right. However, gender identity is the third most common cause of discrimination. It is necessary for Ukrainian legislation to update the regulatory framework that governs the procedure for changing gender. It is worth paying attention to the correct use of terminology in these relations.
