This paper discusses the development and testing of a new composite scale for measuring gender diversity, for use in survey research and statistical analysis: the Gender Variance Scale (GVS). The GVS measures gender diversity on a spectrum and can be used across both cisgender and trans populations to identify experiences of gender beyond a basic male/female sex binary. The GVS was piloted with a sample of 1,776 adolescents and young people ages 14–24 years, in the context of a broader study exploring the relationships between gender variance, young people’s experiences and wellbeing. Analysis of data indicated that the GVS contained both face and construct validity and reliability in the context of the pilot study. In addition, the data revealed some interesting associations between the GVS and other demographic features of the sample of youth surveyed; for example, higher levels of gender variance were associated with being lesbian, gay or bisexual and having a disability. The findings of this study may be of interest for building a stronger empirical understanding of gender diversity and its intersections with other aspects of identity.

ABSTRACTThis study highlights an unconventional form of LGBTQIA activism within restrictive contexts in the Middle East. Building on the triangulation of data findings obtained from activists’ social media accounts from 2014 until 2022, this study argues that Egyptian queer women mobilized quiet activism as a safe form of individual engagement within a repressive and anti-queer context fuelled by social disdain. Tracking women’s individual life stories, this study revealed an unfamiliar strategy of action that has been overlooked by scholarship addressing the LGBTQIA advocacy as a collective action in the Middle East. While scholars have entrenched the LGBTQIA advocacy within a logic of collective activism and organized cyber/groundwork, this study underlined quiet activism as a coping mechanism with state repression in order to contest the state persecution of queer citizens and violation of individual rights and freedom. Being at the intersection of individual engagement, transformative events and personal emotions, quiet activism is an adaptive form of entanglement with repressive contexts through non-confrontational and unchallenging tools of action, such as personal encounters and emotions.KEYWORDS: Queer activismindividual engagementpersonal emotionstransformative eventsEgyptthe middle east Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 This is a pseudonym given to an Egyptian trans-sexual activist for security concernsAdditional informationNotes on contributorsShaimaa MaguedShaimaa Magued is associate professor at the Faculty of Economics and Political Science, Cairo University.

This research explored women’s lived experiences of societal enforcement of motherhood through mechanisms of surveillance and judgement. Using a descriptive qualitative phenomenological design, 24 Australian women were interviewed about their lived experiences as women within society. Thematic analysis revealed five themes: women’s enforcement of hegemonic gender; the enforcement of motherhood in public and private spaces; labelling to control women; the gendered nature of social control; and the impacts of enforcement of motherhood. Overall, this study’s findings draw attention to how the surveillance, and subsequent judgement, of women within society plays an important role in maintaining the unrealistic expectations placed on women to become mothers and adhere to the ideology of good motherhood. Competition, surveillance and judgement are central to keeping women subordinate and distracting them from the ways in which structures of hegemonic gender function to oppress them within society. If freed from the constraints of hegemonic gender, mothering could be a site of equality where power is shared between parents rather than a site for continued oppression.

This article examines the experiences of self-disclosure of women’s support workers within domestic abuse support organizations in England. This research considers the voice of women support workers from a feminist epistemological perspective using thematic analysis , and invites the consideration of who decides readiness to work in the sector, and the appropriateness of organizations making this decision for women who wish to work in the milieu of domestic abuse support work. Semi-structured, qualitative interviews were held with twelve women support workers who identified their lived experience of surviving domestic abuse. Three key themes were generated through thematic analysis (ibid.): women’s choice in making a disclosure regarding lived experience, the impact of non-disclosure policies of women’s organizations on practitioners and the sense of hope emanating from practitioners with lived experience of domestic abuse. The findings from this study make a useful contribution to an under-researched and overlooked area within research on violence against women, that of the women who undertake such vital work in the sector.
