Perone, 2014 Perone, A. ( 2014). The social construction of mental illness for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons in the United States. Qualitative Social Work, 13( 6), 766– 771. In the comments presented above, specific reference is made to socially unacceptable practices, such as bestiality, pedophilia, and necrophilia. By drawing upon socially unacceptable practices, transgender identities are conflated with these concepts, while also constructing the existence and acceptance of transgender people as a pathway into moral social decline. In the first comment, a catalog of absurdity is established through claims of necrophilia and bestiality. Pomerantz (1984) argues that “extreme case” examples are drawn upon when attempts are made to justify a conclusion. Within this construction of “societal decline,” transgender people are also de-legitimized through the use of inverted commas around the word “transsexuals.” The function of the inverted commas is to present transgender people as inauthentic. The mind-sets—and aspirations—of women themselves are as important as those of the companies that employ them. Interviews with 200 successful middle-management and more senior women in 60 large companies across the United States highlighted some common threads: early career acceleration coupled with significant sponsorship, a willingness to change employers to gain greater opportunities, and a propensity to stay in line jobs for much of their advancement. These women remained optimistic even in the face of significant challenges.

Aimed at young people aged from 11-25 and inclusive of MTF, FTM, and Non-Binary gender identity questioning. Part of the Mancroft Advice Project (MAP) We want to empower communities so that you feel confident and informed about safeguarding. That’s why we are partnering with organisations all over the UK to develop and run safeguarding campaigns in local areas. It serves to highlight the discrimination against women and the persistent material, social and political disadvantages they face. This article examines how the term ‘gender’ found its way into development and explores the consequences of the transposition of an activist analytical category onto the world of aid. It points out the simplifications and slogans that have accompanied its ‘mainstreaming’ and challenges the assumptions on which these ideas have come to depend. It argues for a renewed focus on analysing and transforming unequal and unjust power relations. Based at the Town Close Clinic, Julian Hospital, Norwich, originally founded by Dr Ted Olive and Barbara Ross, it was terminated in 2013 due to NHS commissioning changes and rebooted in June 2014 under Dr Hadrian Ball.

( 2010a). ‘Oh you don't want asylum seekers, oh you’re just racist’:A discursive analysis of discussions about whether it's racist to oppose asylum seeking. Discourse & Society, 21( 3), 325– 340. At times, similar rhetoric is drawn upon by YouTube users that have historically been invoked in the construction of homosexuality and heterosexuality (see e.g., Baker, 2004; Perone, 2014). In this sense, we are not witnessing anything new or innovative, rather a recycling of socially recognizable motifs in the construction of cisgender people as victims. It also becomes evident throughout this chapter that claims of victim status highlight how the construction of “the self” as a victim is often achieved within a collective framework, in which entire communities are positioned as victims, emphasizing the otherness of the minority group. It is argued that claiming a victim position is key in successfully opposing the implementation of gender-neutral toilets, while simultaneously deflecting claims of transphobia, bigotry, and hatred. Founded to offer support to people born female questioning and/or transitioning to male. Meets first Monday of the month at 10 Cathedral St, Norwich

gender issues sparks unease within Tory focus on trans and gender issues sparks unease within

Technology-Facilitated Domestic Abuse and Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Women in Victoria, Australia We’ve chosen not to rely on quotas. There isn’t a right or wrong answer on this issue; it’s more a matter of what works best within your environment. At Gore, we felt quotas could clash with our cultural values. To understand the potential mismatch, you need to understand Gore’s culture. We believe that spending time up front, clearly demonstrating the business benefits of diversity, engages the organization more effectively than simply telling associates what to do. When they buy into an initiative because they believe in it, they’re more committed to achieving its outcomes. And in the process of making the case, the effort attracts associates who are personally passionate about leading it. In this way, momentum builds across the organization.The role of choice in transgender people's lives functions to decrease the “worthiness” of them as victims, as they are constructed as freely choosing to be in this particular position. The use of the phrase “a transgender” also functions to dehumanize transgender people, contributing to their inauthenticity as victims. In the three comments above, cisgender people are constructed as “victims” of advancing transgender equality. Similar techniques have been found in a study of “white victimhood” in which white people are threatened by racial equality movements ( Wilkins, Hirsch, Kaiser, & Inkles; 2017). Source: The School Report 2017 Eight out of 10 trans young people have self-harmed and almost half have attempted to kill themselves, according to a survey of 3,700 lesbian, gay, bi and trans young people by campaign group, Stonewall. Understanding Experiences of Sexual Harms Facilitated through Dating and Hook Up Apps among Women and Girls Chapter 21 The data and analysis presented in this chapter are taken from a larger research project that examines “everyday” experiences of discrimination, abuse, and hate crime targeting transgender people ( Colliver et al., 2019). Ethical approval was received from Kingston University in November 2016. The data used within this chapter formed part of a larger online element of the research project that explored the ways in which transgender people were constructed in an online context in relation to videos that focused on “gender-neutral” toilets. The dataset consisted of 1,756 comments posted by YouTube users on 10 randomly-sampled videos that were identified using the search term “gender-neutral toilets.”
