Study Notes

Symbolism and Conflict Theory

We act and react to symbols based on their current assigned meaning, which can change over time.
The word "GAY" once meant "cheerful", but in the 1960s, it carried a primary meaning of "homosexual" and was associated with negative connotations, but now it has gained more neutral and optimistic connotations.
Conflict Theory argues that individuals and groups interact based on conflict over limited resources, with social order maintained by domination and power rather than consensus and conformity.

Feminist Theory

Feminist Theory aims to understand gender inequality and focuses on gender politics, power, relations, and sexuality.
It promotes women's rights and interests, and examines inequalities in gender-related issues.
The theory includes basics such as working to increase equality between male and female, expanding human choice, and eliminating gender stratification.

Theories of Gender Development

Social Learning Theory emphasizes the child's environment and learning experiences, recognizing the importance of role modeling and reinforcement in the development of child social behavior.
Cognitive-Developmental Theory states that intelligence is brought about by a series of transformations and interactions with the environment, explaining how a child constructs a mental model of the world.
Evolutionary Theory believes that aspects of human behavior have been coded by our genes, thus, we are naturally adaptive.

Sex and Gender

Sex is a dichotomy, chromosomal and genetic, with males having XY chromosomes and females having XX chromosomes.
Typically, a person has 46 chromosomes arranged in pairs, with one pair as the sex chromosomes.
All human embryos start life as females, and the difference between males and females begins in the sixth week after conception.
A sex of an infant depends on the father, with a sperm carrying either an X or Y chromosome determining the baby's sex.

Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity

Bisexuality refers to attraction towards people of more than one gender.
Asexuality is different from abstinence and celibacy, which are personal choices, and the experiences of asexual people vary.
The term "Queer" was reclaimed in the 1980s and is now a radical and transgressive umbrella term for people whose sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression does not conform to societal cisgender-heterosexual norms.
"Questioning" refers to people who are still in the process of exploring their sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.

LGBTQIA+ Terminology

The "Q" in LGBTQIA+ means "Queer" and "Questioning".
The "+" in LGBTQIA+ stands for all other gender and sexual minority identities that are not part of the first seven letters.
Transgender people are those whose gender identity does not conform to their assigned sex at birth.
Transsexual people are transgender people who have undergone or are currently undergoing medical transitioning, i.e., hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and/or gender-affirming surgery.
Gender expression (GE) is the external appearance of a person's gender, usually expressed through behavior, clothing, haircut, names, pronouns, or voice, which may or may not conform to their gender identity or to socially defined behaviors and characteristics typically associated with being either feminine or masculine.
