The lived experiences and minority stress of lesbian-identifying teachers in Australia
The lived experiences and minority stress of lesbian-identifying teachers in Australia contribute to ongoing compromised social and wellbeing outcomes for this cohort of people. While past research focuses on lesbian, gay and bisexual teachers as a collective, research specifically examining lesbian teachers within the Australian context, is limited, ultimately presenting a lack of representation to experiences unique to this specific cohort of t…

Educational Experiences and Outcomes of Students With Innate Variations of Sex Characteristics in Educational Settings
Current literature highlights the need for educational settings to be safe, inclusive, and affirming learning environments for learners with innate variations of sex characteristics (IVSCs) to ensure optimal educational experiences and outcomes; however, the research metasynthesizing the existing limited research is lacking. This scoping review brings together existing literature and highlights recommended IVSC-inclusive interventions, support me…
The health and wellbeing of incarcerated trans, gender diverse, and non-binary people
Bi The Way Things Pan Out
This study aims to explore how plurisexual participants (i.e., those who experience attraction to multiple genders) understand their experiences during adolescence and early adulthood related to their sexual orientation, including their perspectives of societal influences on mental health. Utilizing the Life Story Interviewing technique, interviews were conducted in 2024 with 21 young adults (18–30 years old) who identify as plurisexual (e.g., Bi…
Strategies of Health-Focused Narratives to Develop Coping and Growth for Young People
While there are many approaches in the use of narratives for children and young people as symbolic forms of real-life education, this article specifically investigates the use of narratives as a public health communication and intervention strategy for young people. This strategy foregrounds imaginative stories based on health education messaging that are told from patient perspectives. Through a thematic analysis of 57 research articles, the art…
The Experiences and Outcomes of Students with Innate Variations of Sex Characteristics in Health and Physical Education
Introduction Students with innate variations of sex characteristics (IVSC; also known as intersex variations) encounter significant challenges within health and physical education (HPE) in school settings negatively impacting their educational outcomes. The scarcity of comprehensive synthesis of existing empirical literature underscores the urgent need for focused inquiry to inform IVSC-inclusive HPE education policies, curricula, and practices. …
Exploring Educational Experiences and Outcomes for Plurisexual Students in High School Settings
Plurisexual youth encounter distinct challenges within educational environments, yet their experiences remain largely underrepresented in broader LGBTQ+ research. The scarcity of comprehensive synthesis of existing empirical studies underscores the urgent need for focused inquiry to inform inclusive education policies and practices. This scoping review maps the educational experiences and outcomes of plurisexual high school students. In alignment…
Honoring Beautiful Connections”
Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy (PAT) is a rapidly growing therapeutic approach that to date has rarely considered the nuanced needs of LGBTQA+ individuals. This study explores what LGBTQA+ individuals consider important for healthcare providers (HCPs) to consider when providing PAT. A global sample of LGBTQA+ individuals aged 18+ who had experience using a classic psychedelic compound at least once in a non-microdose manner were recruited into an o…
Just How Radical Is Radical
This paper analyses the Australian children’s picture books The Gender Fairy , by Jo Hirst and Libby Wirt, and Introducing Teddy: A Gentle Story About Gender and Friendship , by Jess Walton and Dougal MacPherson. Both are examples of a rare engagement by Australian children’s authors and illustrators; indeed, Hirst has the distinction of being the first Australian author of a picture book with a trans protagonist. The authors and illustrators eng…
Age-related differences regarding ageing and care service concerns and information preferences among LGBT, Sistergirl and Brotherboy people in Australia
Although many positive social changes have been achieved over the past 30 years, members of LGBT, Sistergirl and Brotherboy communities continue to encounter negative experiences with health and ageing service provision. In this article, 232 responses from a survey exploring ageing and care concerns and preferences among LGBT, Sistergirl and Brotherboy communities in Australia were analysed using chi square analysis. The largest proportion of par…
Pretty Bi for an Ally
Bisexual people experience negative messaging about their identity from broader society, as well as from within the LGBTIQA + community. The period of adolescence can be particularly tumultuous for those navigating their identity amongst this messaging. Drawing on Ozalas's (Citation2020) and Suarez's (Citation2022) studies, this study utilizes a critical autoethnographic approach and aims to explore cis-normative and heteronormative perspectives …
The ethics review and the humanities and social sciences
Ethics review processes are frequently perceived as extending from codes and protocols rooted in biomedical disciplines. As a result, many researchers in the humanities and social sciences (HASS) find these processes to be misaligned, if not outrightly obstructive to their research. This leads some scholars to advocate against HASS participation in institutional review processes as they currently stand, or in their entirety. While ethics review p…
Publishing in the academy
Publishing in the academy is a high-stakes activity often used to measure academic staff progress and inform promotion. Many universities have increased pressure on academics, even at the earliest stages of their careers, to publish in high-ranking journals resulting in increased stress and uncertainty. The authors of this paper are members of a writing group in an Australian regional university, established to support each other towards success …
A trans agent of social change in incarceration
OBJECTIVES: This psychobiography focuses on the advocacy work of Natasha Keating, a trans woman incarcerated in two male prisons in Australia between 2000 and 2007. Incarcerated trans women are a vulnerable group who experience high levels of victimization and discrimination. However, Natasha advocated for her rights while incarcerated and this advocacy contributed to substantial changes in the carceral system. This psychobiography uses psycholog…
Navigating Detransition Borders
Detransition, a relatively recent phenomenon within academic discourse and mainstream media, refers to individuals who transition from the gender they transitioned into. Experiences of detransition, including those shared on social media, are poorly understood. Drawing upon narratives of gender detransition as shared on a global social media site, this analysis explores and seeks to better understand how detransition experiences are shared; and t…
Fostering Gender-IQ
While the visible population of trans and gender diverse Australians has grown significantly in recent years, primary health-care access remains hindered by a lack of practitioner competency and stigmatization. This article draws on qualitative research of purposively selected gender-affirming general practitioners (GPs) in Australia to explore barriers, and enablers when treating trans and gender diverse patients. Perspectives and behaviors duri…
Mental health and quality of life outcomes of gender-affirming surgery
Introduction Transgender individuals experience disproportionately higher rates of mental health concerns and lower quality of life (QoL) than the general population. Gender-affirming healthcare can reduce negative mental health outcomes and improve QoL. This review explores the mental health and QoL outcomes to accessing gender-affirming surgery for transgender individuals.Method Following the PRISMA guidelines, searches were conducted using fiv…
Trans architecture and the prison as archive
Most incarceration settings around the world are governed by strong cisnormative policies, architectures, and social expectations that segregate according to a person's legal gender (i.e. male or female). This paper draws on the lived experiences of 24 formerly incarcerated trans women in Australia and the U.S. to elucidate the way in which the prison functions according to Lucas Crawford's theory of trans architecture, alongside Jacques Derrida'…
Intersex awareness and education
It is well-documented that schools fail to adequately engage with contemporary content about intersex awareness and education or inclusion of people with intersex variations. Where sexuality and relationships education are the remit of Health and Physical Education (HPE) curriculum in countries such as Australia, the learning area shows little obligation/response-ability towards the needs of students with intersex variations. It also fails to pay…
Navigating intimate trans citizenship while incarcerated in Australia and the United States
Trans women incarcerated throughout the world have been described as "vulnerable populations" due to significant victimization, mistreatment, lack of gender-affirming care, and human rights violations, which confers greater risk of trauma, self-harm, and suicide compared with the general incarcerated population. Most incarceration settings around the world are segregated by the person's sex characteristics (i.e., male or female) and governed by s…
A Critical Discourse Analysis of an Australian Incarcerated Trans Woman's Letters of Complaint and Self-Advocacy
This case study provides a critical discourse analysis of 121 letters of complaint and self-advocacy authored by Natasha Keating, a trans woman incarcerated in two Australian male correctional facilities from 2000 to 2007. During her incarceration, Natasha experienced victimization, misgendering, microaggression, and institutional discrimination. Despite this, Natasha embodied and "fought" against the injustices she experienced, whilst seeking to…
Towards a whole-school approach for sexuality education in supporting and upholding the rights and health of students with intersex variations
It is well documented that the most effective sexuality education programmes employ a whole-school learning approach. More specifically, when schools and their leaders and teachers embrace such an approach, they view student learning in the context of the whole experience of being at school – from the classroom, to the home and the partnerships schools form with the local community. In parallel to this, people born with intersex variations report…
Beyond Criticism of Ethics Review Boards
Questioning representations of athletes with elevated testosterone levels in elite women's sports
Sport sociologists are often required to interpret, question and respond to the ways in which fairness and eligibility concerns in elite sports are represented in policy frameworks produced by sports governing bodies. Drawing on Carol Bacchi's critical policy analysis framework, 'what is the problem represented to be?', this paper explores the importance in developing a critical eye and reading about representations of women athletes with particu…
In Search of Critical Pedagogy in Sexuality Education
This article is about the purposes and the processes of teaching comprehensive sexuality education to diverse communities. We argue that establishing an educational response to addressing diversity in sexuality education involves challenging and interrupting current dominant forms of authority, subordination, and systems of hegemony prevalent in the teaching practices of this subject. We argue that critical pedagogy (influenced by the Frankfurt s…

Homophobia, transphobia, young people and the question of responsibility
Young people may face conflicting and confusing messages about what it means to respond well in relation to homophobia and transphobia. Consequently, we ask – What might it mean to respond well to homophobia and transphobia? This strategy, inspired by Anika Thiem and Judith Butler, is recognition of the ambivalent conditions which structure attempts to respond well to bullying related to gender and sexuality. Such an approach is counter to educat…

Meeting at the crossroads
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to attempt to theorise difference as encountered by a team of six diverse researchers interested in addressing cultural and religious diversity in sexuality education. Drawing Todd's (2003, 2011a, b) concepts of “the crossroads”, “becoming present” and “relationality” in conversation with Barad's (2003, 2007, 2012) ideas around relationality and intra-activity, the paper explores how “difference” in team res…
