This paper investigates several meanings of (mis)recognition relevant to butch lesbians, using the work of butch writers on gender misrecognition, Judith Butler’s theorisation of hate speech, and Jessica Benjamin’s work on recognition and intersubjectivity. Butch lesbianism or lesbian masculinity is understood as a second-order gender category describing some lesbians’ feelings of ‘masculinity’ and distance from the primary gender categories masculinity and femininity. Using the example of misrecognition in public toilets I highlight how Butler’s and Benjamin’s ideas can enrich our understanding of lesbian identities. Finally, I suggest that (mis)recognition is a fruitful avenue for further psychosocial exploration of homophobia and heterosexism, and relevant to investigations of the ways that the continuing power of gender norms shape lesbian experiences.

This article explores how lesbian and gay clinical psychology trainees attempted to integrate their personal identity with their developing professional identity. Three gay and six lesbian trainees were recruited by snowball sampling and via a lesbian and gay student website. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and interview transcripts were analysed using an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. A number of themes were identified relating to the dilemmas of personal and professional integration. Participants’ knowledge and experience of lesbian and gay issues created tensions between holding specialist knowledge and being a student, which were managed by monitoring disclosure. Further barriers for personal and professional integration included a lack of staff support and displays of anti-lesbian/gay sentiment by course staff, supervisors, lecturers and peers. These findings suggest that courses have yet to meet the British Psychological Society’s (2002) accreditation guidelines, which encourage diversity within trainee cohorts and the facilitation of personal and professional integration. Guidelines for course development and directions for future research are presented.

In this paper I explore some of the discursive practices that shape scientific knowledge in the debates surrounding conversion therapy. In doing so I identify some of the key rhetorical strategies that promote these debates as being within the realm of science, namely a reliance on foundationalist assumptions about ethics and sexuality, and the use of the ‘rhetoric of pseudoscience’ (Kitzinger, 1990) to construct what constitutes ‘good science’. Following this I point towards the individualism that informs scientific research, and what this means for lesbian and gay psychology more generally. I conclude by outlining possible directions for ‘setting our own agendas’ within the area, with particular focus on the importance of the political in critical research.

This article is concerned with gendered constructions of ‘gay men’. Two excerpts, taken from the transcripts of focus group discussions with men on the topic of men and emotions, are subjected to discourse analysis to identify the discursive resources and the ideological relationships that are invoked in the construction of ‘effeminate gay men’. This construction is shown to be a potential source of humour and, through the discourse of attractiveness, to constitute the basis for discrimination and marginalisation. Importantly, these resources and the constructions and subject positions they constitute are invoked by speakers who self-identified as ‘gay men’. Thus, the analysis demonstrates both the power and appeal of ‘hegemonic’ constructions of gender for speakers who might themselves be subject to ‘gender’x discrimination.

Bisexuality is, for the most part, invisible in society and thus is often ignored in psychological literature. This reflective review considers the concept of bisexuality as a ‘paradigm shift’, bisexual identity and experience, bisexuality and mental health and the implications for clients, therapists and therapy training. It finds that the heterosexual/homosexual dichotomy marginalises bisexuality but, through the recent expansion of community, activism and study, bisexuality is beginning to find its place in psychological and wider arenas.
