From Shame to Empowerment
Menstruation remains a frequently tabooed topic in schools, and challenges such as physical discomfort, uncertainty, hygiene concerns, and shame-related anxieties often become particularly pronounced in physical education (PE). As a result, students may avoid or be excused from PE lessons. This article raises awareness among physical educators about how menstruation may affect students’ well-being and participation in PE. Because PE teachers are …

Menstruation in PE. Exploring students’ perspectives in online forums
The purpose of this study was to explore how students interpret and negotiate menstruation in PE in online forums. We conducted a qualitative discourse analysis of 12 threads from 4 different German-language online forums, in which menstruation in PE is discussed by students. Our goal was to analyse which topics structure this online discourse and how menstruation in PE is constructed as a discourse phenomenon. The study found that participation …
Between nature and culture – Interpreting students’ sexuality in physical education
Discussing these results in the context of previous literature, we argue that it is important to address sexuality in a subject-specific approach and take the discursive knowledge and fundamental schemes of interpretation into account that shape the (im-)possibilities of addressing sexuality in PE
Physical education from LGBTQ+ students’ perspective. A systematic review of qualitative studies
Those students who are really self-confident about their homosexuality usually have considerably fewer problems’
Previous research indicates that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer plus (LGBTQ+) students feel marginalised and discriminated against in physical education (PE) and that teachers play a crucial role in establishing openness towards sexual and gender diversity in schools. Despite these findings, there is a lack of research that focuses on the topic of sexual and gender diversity in PE from the perspective of PE teachers. The paper address…
‘I somehow had the Feeling that I did not belong there’—Experiences of Gay and Lesbian Recreational Athletes in German Sports Clubs
There is little empirical research on the sport experiences of gay and lesbian recreational athletes in Germany and their existence and needs within organized, non-professional sports have largely been ignored. Based on twelve in-depth interviews with self-identified male gay and female lesbian adults, this paper explores how queer recreational athletes experience sport in German sports clubs and which particular challenges or discriminatory situ…
Sexualität von Schüler*innen im Sportunterricht
Schule ist kein asexueller Sozialraum. Gerade das Fach Sport dürfte aufgrund seiner Körperzentrierung vielfältige Bezüge zur Sexualität bieten, was aber bislang kaum untersucht wurde. Im Beitrag wird der zentralen Frage nachgegangen, wie sich die Sexualität von Schüler*innen im Sportunterricht als ein diskursives Phänomen konstituiert. Hierzu wurde eine qualitative Diskursanalyse durchgeführt, die sich auf Onlineforen stützt und Datenmaterial aus…
Man muss sich nicht verstecken oder erklären. Es ist einfach unkompliziert“ – Sporterfahrungen und Motivlagen von Mitgliedern eines queeren (LGBTI*) Sportvereins
Parallel zu einer noch immer weitestgehenden Tabuisierung von Homosexualität und normabweichendem Geschlecht im Leistungssport haben sich im Bereich des Breitensports in der Vergangenheit zahlreiche queere Sportvereine gegründet, die insbesondere homo-, bisexuelle, Trans*- und Inter-*, Non-Binary- bzw. queere Personen zur Zielgruppe haben. Der vorliegende Beitrag basiert auf einer qualitativ angelegten Interviewstudie, in der Mitglieder eines que…
