Determining Multidimensional Gender: Development And Psychometrics Of A Measurement Instrument, Karyl Lounsbery
Determining Multidimensional Gender: Development And Psychometrics Of A Measurement Instrument, Karyl Lounsbery
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Gender identity is often thought of only as a binary construct, masculine and feminine, despite the fact that there are many people who do not see themselves as fitting this dichotomy (Rochman, 2006). Within the counseling field, it is likely that every counselor will eventually see someone who will be struggling with issues of gender identity (Ehrensaft, 2011). The introduction of the Arkansas Multidimensional Gender Scale (AMGS) will show there is a much broader scope of gender identity, more in line with the idea that all gender identities are normal and that there are as many gender identities as there …
Born Again Hard : Transgender Subjectivity In Paul Chadwick's Concrete, Justin Raymond
Born Again Hard : Transgender Subjectivity In Paul Chadwick's Concrete, Justin Raymond
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Born Again explores how the alien-hybrid character Concrete from the eponymous comic can be used to generate understanding of transgender (trans) lives. I use Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick's concept of reparative reading in order to formulate an understanding of Concrete that generates new theoretical insight into trans lives, while also ensuring the development of what Viviane Namaste calls “ethical trans theory.” Born Again argues that even though Concrete does not “look like a transgender person is supposed to,” his experiences of gender dissonance and queer optimism allow him to act as a source of amelioration and pleasure for readers who are …
The Immaculate Condemnation, Corey Robertson
The Immaculate Condemnation, Corey Robertson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
My work is a continuously evolving self portrait formulated by a combination of past experiences and influences. The Immaculate Condemnation body of work is a cathartic reaction that confronts Catholic Sin and rebels against gender conformity. As both a confirmed Catholic and transgender woman, I speak from an authentic voice that seeks open conversation regarding these topics. I also hope to demystify the transsexual body for the non-transgendered viewer. Additionally, I use allegoric imagery to communicate my interpretation of beauty, power, horror, and sex. I combine performance, photography, sculpture, video, audio, and graphic design to execute my installations. I intentionally …
(Women's) Archival Spaces And Trans Voices? A (Re)Search And Proposal, Jeremy Curtis Main
(Women's) Archival Spaces And Trans Voices? A (Re)Search And Proposal, Jeremy Curtis Main
Master's Theses
Transgender has been silenced, exiled, forgotten, erased, ignored, maltreated, killed, and ultimately, in a major theme of this research project, excluded from histories. Yet, like women, African-Americans, and gay men and lesbians before them, transgender and their allies are working toward inclusion and independence. History, it seems, can no longer ignore them. One of the surest ways to "prove" a history is to have the original items of that history in an archives. So, what representation do we find among various United States' archives concerning transgender people? Unfortunately, like with many other marginalized groups, much work has to be investigated …
Borders That Matter : Trans Identity Management, Reese C. Kelly
Borders That Matter : Trans Identity Management, Reese C. Kelly
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
This dissertation presents the responses, strategies, and meaning-making processes that forty trans (transgender) people engaged in when confronted with or when preparing for the possibility of encountering two different types of identity checkpoints, or what I regard as "borders": situations where sexed bodies and presentations of self would be matched against identity documents or records, and the use or attempted use of sex-segregated facilities. The project addresses the questions: In what ways do trans people prepare for and respond to identity inspections in border crossing scenarios? What strategies do they employ in order to successfully border cross? What effect does …
