    Study Notes

    Psychosocial Perspective on Gender and Sexuality

    • "Psychosocial" refers to the influence of social factors on an individual's mind and behavior, and the relationship between behavioral and social factors.
    • Psychological aspect focuses on behavior and mental processes (affective, behavioral, cognitive domains).
    • Social aspect considers development, structure, and functioning of society, including socialization, family, education, and media.

    Psychological Development and Identity Formation

    • Kohlberg's Cognitive Developmental Theory suggests that children's gender development progresses through stages, where they acquire information about gender from the world and others.
    • Cass's Model of Homosexual Identity Formation outlines a six-stage process of homosexual identity development, with each stage representing a different level of psychological and social development.

    Intersectionality and Identity

    • Intersectionality is the concept that individuals experience gender and sexuality differently based on their race, class, and cultural background.
    • These intersecting identities can create compounded forms of discrimination and marginalization.

    Marginalized Identities

    • LGBTQ+ individuals belonging to racial or ethnic minorities face additional layers of discrimination and psychosocial stress.

    Psychosocial Challenges and Mental Health

    • Internalized stigma describes how individuals with mental illness may view themselves negatively due to their condition.
    • Individuals with gender dysphoria experience emotional distress and a strong desire to transition.

    Contemporary Issues and Debates

    • Growing awareness of gender fluidity and non-binary identities challenges traditional norms.
    • This creates both opportunities and challenges as society adjusts to more inclusive views.

    Role of Support Systems

    • Social support (family, community, peer support, LGBTQ+ organizations) is crucial.
    • Therapeutic interventions (affirmative therapy and counseling, mental health services) support individuals.

    Gender-Fair Language

    • Gender-fair language aims to minimize gender bias by using gender-neutral pronouns and inclusive phrases.
    • Biased or sexist language is considered a violation of gender-fair language, as it stereotypes genders.

    Examples in the Philippines

    • Terms like "bakla," "tomboy," and "binabae" are used in derogatory ways.
    • Women's experiences are often trivialized or dismissed, even in national contexts.
    • Oversimplified beliefs about gender characteristics, behaviors, and roles are called stereotypes, and can be harmful.

    Prejudice and Discrimination

    • Prejudice involves unfavorable feelings towards individuals or groups due to preconceived notions (ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, age, disability, religion),
    • Discrimination is unjust treatment based on perceived differences (race, gender, age, sexual orientation, religion, disability, other characteristics).
    • LGBTQ+ students often experience discrimination and bullying.
