Abstract

Like all young people (YP), those who are gender and sexuality diverse (GSD) spend their youth exploring and discovering their identities; but unlike their peers, they must consider whether, how, and when to disclose their GSD identity to others in a dynamic process of visibility management (VM). At school, GSD YP actively test social reactions, interpret attitudes, and assess safety, ultimately seeking belonging as their authentic selves. Our systematic review explored findings from 16 qualitative studies capturing GSD YPs experiences of managing visibility in schools internationally. Data were thematically synthesized, and seven themes were constructed. The process of visibility management is fluid, a negotiation with social norms that GSD YP's very existence transgresses. YP search for, and through activism actively shape, accepting environments in which they can safely be their authentic selves. GSD YP are actively asking school staff for help in creating open communities where all YP can find a place to belong, to fight to be visible. We offer some suggestions for how we might begin.

"如果你不是你自己,你会成为谁?"探索性别和性取向不同的学生在学校的可见度管理经验:系统性文献综述。
与所有年轻人(YP)一样,性别和性取向多元化(GSD)的年轻人在青年时期也在探索和发现自己的身份;但与同龄人不同的是,他们必须考虑是否、如何以及何时在能见度管理(VM)的动态过程中向他人公开自己的 GSD 身份。在学校,GSD 青少年会积极测试社会反应、解释态度和评估安全,最终寻求作为真实自我的归属感。我们的系统性综述探讨了 16 项定性研究的结果,这些研究捕捉了 GSD 青少年在国际学校中管理可见性的经验。我们对数据进行了专题综合,并构建了七个主题。能见度管理的过程是多变的,是与社会规范进行协商的过程,而 GSD 青少年的存在本身就违反了社会规范。青少 年们寻找并通过积极行动塑造他们能够接受的环境,在这样的环境中,他们可以安全地做 真实的自己。GSD 青年党积极请求学校教职员工帮助创建开放的社区,让所有青年党都能找到归属感,并为自己的存在而奋斗。我们就如何开始提供一些建议。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Homosexuality is an internationally acclaimed, peer-reviewed publication devoted to publishing a wide variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary scholarship to foster a thorough understanding of the complexities, nuances, and the multifaceted aspects of sexuality and gender. The chief aim of the journal is to publish thought-provoking scholarship by researchers, community activists, and scholars who employ a range of research methodologies and who offer a variety of perspectives to continue shaping knowledge production in the arenas of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) studies and queer studies. The Journal of Homosexuality is committed to offering substantive, accessible reading to researchers and general readers alike in the hope of: spurring additional research, offering ideas to integrate into educational programs at schools, colleges & universities, or community-based organizations, and manifesting activism against sexual and gender prejudice (e.g., homophobia, biphobia and transphobia), including the promotion of sexual and gender justice.
