In the Name of Protection? A Discourse Analysis of Anti-Trans Language in Canada
Anti-trans movements are growing in Canada, as parental rights advocates call for restrictions on what children can learn in schools and as provincial governments enact legislation that restricts the freedoms of trans children – all based on the claim of protecting children in general. The purpose of this research note is to critically examine how the discourse of ‘protecting children’ is weaponized against trans people and trans rights in Canada…

We retrieved 72 papers and book chapters published between 1990 and 2024. We summarize some descriptive characteris…

Technology-facilitated sexual violence (TFSV) is increasing in prevalence among young people and has significant implications for their mental health and well-being. In this article, we reflect on our experiences taking an intersectional feminist approach to research on TFSV among youth. In the feminist tradition of reflection, we critically examine how our intersectional feminist approach challenged and/or aligned with typical psychological rese…
Systems-Level Problems Require Systems-Level Responses
Background: Technology-facilitated sexual violence (TFSV) is a significant problem for young people and is on the rise in Canada. Young people from marginalized groups are at greater risk of TFSV victimization, and urgent support from schools is needed. Analysis: This study uses intersectionality as an analytic framework to examine how Canadian secondary schools address TFSV within their educational curricula, policies, and legislation. Conclusio…
Digital Platforms as Equivocal Health Promotion
2SLGBTQ+ people often depend on digital platforms, including social media, to connect with members of their community and curate support networks, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has had devastating mental health impacts on marginalized populations. Unfortunately, these same platforms are often engulfed with homophobia and transphobic rhetoric and high rates of online violence targeted at 2SLGBTQ+ communities. To shed light on how …

Many discussed the unique sexual scripts de…

Clickable Consent
Smartphone-based dating applications like Grindr are popular among men who have sex with men (MSM), and it is common for MSM to engage in sexual activity with other users. Despite this, there is limited research on MSM's negotiations of consent for online sexual interactions and in-person sexual encounters. This study examined MSM's understandings and practices of consent on dating apps and in person. Interpretative phenomenological analysis of 2…
The year of the “virtual date”
The coronavirus disease-19 pandemic introduced a crisis of safety and relevance for dating apps, as their affordances for facilitating in-person encounters posed the risk of viral transmission. This article examines how eight apps primarily catering to heterosexual markets responded to the pandemic through changes to socio-technical arrangements, new user prescriptions, and the curation of corporate data and success stories. By analyzing corporat…

Our findings indicate that both dating apps and sexual health services rely on reductive systems of sorting and categorisation that reinforce binary understandings of genders and sexualities in order to facilitate data management and information sharing …
Digital Cultures of Care, Safety and Wellbeing
Practices of self-care and social support have long been identified across social media platforms and apps, as people find new ways of using and adapting digital technologies to mediate and address personal and public health issues. But digital health participation is considerably contested and unevenly experienced, whether through the commodified ‘platformization’ of the health sector, or in the potentially ‘unhealthy’ engagement with dominant s…
