MOUTHS WIDE SHUT: GENDER-QUIET TEENAGE MALES ON GENDER-BENDING, GENDER-PASSING AND MASCULINITIES

Davidson, S. M. (2009). Mouths Wide Shut: Gender-Quiet Teenage Males on Gender-Bending, Gender-Passing and Masculinities. International Review of Education / Internationale Zeitschrift für Erziehungswissenschaft, 55(5/6), 615-631. doi:10.1007/s11159-009-9139-y

Through individual narratives, three adolescent males of colour reflect on their fluid masculinities in relation to ethnicity, spirituality and sexuality. The selfdescribed gender benders examine their complex relationships and hybrid identities, which cross the various boundaries of heteronormativity routinely legitimatised through peer norms and educational practices. They voice experiences and gender performances in context of the reshaping of the school’sofficial and unofficial heterosexist climate in which gender-bending males are often marginalised.
