Young people often feel social pressure to conform to binary masculine/feminine roles, which are assumed to be ‘normal’, and may adopt binary gender identities without exploring other gender expressions (Richards, et al., 2016). This can be challenging for young people who do not clearly identify with a binary gender identity to navigate (Vincent, 2020). The aim of this research was to explore how young people make sense of and experience their non-binary gender identities. A focus group was conducted with four 16- to 18-year-old people who identified as non-binary. The data were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), to focus on their lived experiences (Smith et al., 2009). The analysis highlighted the difficulties that ‘everyday’ cisnormative experiences presented for the young people, as well as the young people’s ‘gender journeys’ of (re)negotiating expectations of linear gender development.
年轻人经常感受到社会压力，要符合二元男性/女性角色，这被认为是“正常的”，并可能采用二元性别身份而不探索其他性别表达(Richards, et al.， 2016)。对于没有明确认同二元性别身份的年轻人来说，这可能是一个挑战(Vincent, 2020)。这项研究的目的是探索年轻人如何理解和体验他们的非二元性别身份。研究人员对4名16至18岁的非二元性别人士进行了焦点小组调查。使用解释性现象学分析(IPA)对数据进行分析，以关注他们的生活经历(Smith et al.， 2009)。分析强调了“日常”顺规范经历给年轻人带来的困难，以及年轻人(重新)协商线性性别发展期望的“性别旅程”。

There is an absence of literature about people with variations in sex characteristics in the UK. This leaves therapists ignorant of this client group. Since 2013, normalising genital surgery performed on babies born with developmental differences has been described as a human rights violation, and the psychosocial justifications for this surgery is now contested. This paper expands awareness so that psychotherapists will be better informed about the damage, both psychological and physical, which results from the pathologisation of those with what is also referred to as ‘intersex’ variations. Further it identifies how therapists can support this group. The paper presents the findings of a qualitative analysis of four interviews with clients identifying as LGBTIQ+ and intersex, focusing on their experiences of therapy. The findings demonstrate a significant mistrust of therapists and clinicians in general. They raise the possibilities that therapists may develop vicarious trauma, and that therapists’ lack of knowledge prevents exploration at depth of these clients’ gender, biology and sexuality. As a result of the imposition of normative sex and gender categories through institutional treatment practices, the bodily integrity and autonomy of this client group has been severely and repeatedly compromised. It is therefore vital that adequate therapy – and therapeutic training – is provided.

Research on humour and prejudice has predominantly focused on the use of negative, or disparaging humour and its prejudice enhancing effects. This study investigated whether a positive ‘affiliative’ humour, could elicit a reduction in prejudice as measured by attitudes, system justification beliefs and engagement in collective action in favour of transgender individuals. Participants (N=85) were randomly assigned to the humour or control condition before and after which data were collected measuring their levels of prejudice and beliefs. In the humour condition participants were exposed to stand-up comedy performed by transgender comedians. Results showed that brief exposure to humour had no significant effect on prejudice and system justification beliefs. However, participants who reported finding the humour funny and those who reported less discomfort were significantly more willing to engage in collective action to support the transgender community compared to those in the control condition.

The intersex human rights movement has, to date, focused on advocating for greater understanding and changing practices in medical, legal and political spaces. Contemporary literature is beginning to explore how the health and wellbeing of people born with variations in sex characteristics are also impacted by educational discursive practices. In most instances, however, intersex remains invisible or poorly addressed in school curricula. Historically education, as understood through a broad definition of curricula, reflects prevailing societal perspectives and subsequently ideations about the body’s biology, sex, sex characteristics, gender and sexualities. This paper explores how curricula can be a means for productively and constructively learning about intersex that is inclusive of the intersex human rights movement, diversity of lived experience and identities.

Several large-scale surveys around the world show the most frequently reported mental health diagnoses among people with intersex variations include depression, anxiety and PTSD. Wellbeing risks are also high, with individuals with intersex variations citing suicidal thoughts or attempts across their life-course – specifically on the basis of issues related to having congenital sex variations. The population mostly attributed their wellbeing risks to negative social responses from others, difficulties around having undergone interventions, or issues around gender/identity. In the Canadian context, there is a lack of formalised, charitable Canadian wide intersex networks, advocacy groups, universal mental health care approaches, or provincial signposting to services similar to those developed elsewhere. Using a life-cycle lens, a group of international researchers came together in this collaborative Canadian study to explore health care transitions that people with intersex variations might need or desire, at various stages of their life. A key finding from this ongoing study is that transition phases have the capacity to be especially difficult in the context of mental health, such that integrating person-centred and trauma-informed approaches into care with this population is both wanted and needed. This paper specifically takes a case study approach which analyses data from two participants who identified three major themes regarding mental health impacts: ‘worth, mastery, and adequacy’, ‘isolation and inferiority’, and ‘identity and integrity’. The fourth and final theme drew on integrated medicine to celebrate emerging ‘resilience and generativity’; a positive experience that had emancipatory benefits across the lifespan.
