Moral Identity in Friendships between Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Students and Straight Students in College

Construction and Management of Stigma Based on a Voluntary‐Achieved Status

“…HvZ members also challenged the stigma discourse that defined them as socially inept by emphasizing their numerous friendships and social connections as major sources of moral worth, similar to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) allies in Ueno and Gentile's () research on LGBT‐straight friendships. Members emphasized that having a shared interest in HvZ created a strong bond among them.…”

Bathrooms, Boundaries, and Emotional Burdens: Cisgendering Interactions Through the Interpretation of Transgender Experience

“…While scholars have begun to analyze how cisgender people relate to transgender individuals in intimate relationships (Pfeffer 2014), the workplace (Connell 2010), and in media conversations (Westbrook and Schilt 2014), we know much less about the ways cisgender people think about directly interacting with transgender strangers in daily life. Following insights from scholars focused on the ways dominants view their interactions with members of less powerful groups (Mathers, Sumerau, and Ueno 2015;Ueno and Gentile 2015), these findings provide useful insights into the ways people accomplish the "doing" (Martin 2003) of cisnormativity in interaction.…”

“…This respondent suggests she would engage in dominance by refusing to let the other woman influence the scenario. As is often the case for members of other minority groups who are expected to prove their worthiness of support from those with relative degrees of power (Mathers, Sumerau, and Ueno 2015;Ueno and Gentile 2015), and specifically in many cases where gender variant people rely on vocal cues to protect themselves in spaces where cisgender others assume they don't belong (Halberstam 2012), respondents demonstrated that Lisa needed to prove that she was worthy of support by verifying her (cis)womanhood and confirming cisgender assumptions. In so doing, cisgender respondents demonstrated the importance of Lisa's "femaleness" to whether they would defend her or not (Halberstam 2012).…”

Exploring the Experiences of Heterosexual and Asexual Transgender People

“…4.2. "It's Complicated, It Just Depends on How People React, and You Can't Predict That, so It's Scary": Coming out Experiences Social scientists have long noted the social and political significance of coming out (or openly identifying or disclosing) as a sexual (see, e.g., Adams 2011; Barringer et al 2017;Ueno and Gentile 2015) and/or gender (see, e.g., Darwin 2017;Mason-Schrock 1996;Shuster 2017) minority in the face of societal dominance and enforcement of cisnormativity, heteronormativity, and mononormativity. They have also noted how openly identifying as a sexual or gender minority can become even more difficult for lower class people, people of color, people in conservative religions, differently abled people, and people who violate more than one of these assumptions at the same time (i.e., see Barringer et al 2017;Davis 2015; Eisner 2013 for reviews).…”
