Founded in 1966, the Institute enjoys an international reputation based on the quality of its work and the rigour with which it applies academic skills to real world challenges. Its purpose is to understand and explain the world, and to try to change it – to influence as well as to inform. IDS hosts five dynamic research programmes, five popular postgraduate courses, and a family of world- class web-based knowledge services. These three spheres are integrated in a unique combination – as a development knowledge hub, IDS is connected into and is a convenor of networks throughout the world. The Institute is home to approximately 80 researchers, 50 knowledge services staff, 50 support staff and about 150 students at any one time. But the IDS community extends far beyond, encompassing an extensive network of partners, former staff and students across the development community worldwide.

Yet due to the attention drawn in the early years of the epidemic to homosexuality, this discursive space has largely framed men – both homosexual and heterosexual – as the primary sexual actors, whether as agents in sexual relationships or as transmitters of sexual diseases, and obscured all other sexual agents. Heterosexual women have been seen as unlikely perpetrators of either sex or disease. Lesbians, including bisexual lesbians, have been left out of the question altogether, as if the HIV/AIDS crisis has nothing to do with them. And transgender and intersex sexuality issues, including those related to the epidemic, have been sidelined by the rigidity of the male/female gender dichotomy that underpins the discussion. Sexuality only enters this framework as a factor of ill health or ‘risk’, which permits little of many peoples’ actual experiences of sexuality, including pleasure, to be recognised. This paper draws on a two-year research project with transgendered people (travestis) in Lima that explored issues of identity considered important by many travestis in Latin America and on the socio-economic struggles that most face. It begins with a consideration of some of the conceptual issues that confront travestis, in particular in relation to the polarised gender categories of male/female. It goes on to place travesti issues in a ‘development’ framework, emphasising the ways in which travestis actively manage and challenge the many aspects of their disadvantage and social exclusion. Rather than a litany of the effects of social stigma, the discussion offers some key points for development in ways that do not threaten travesti identity. It illustrates some positive examples of work with travestis, as potential ways forward. Keywords: transgender; sexuality; violence; discrimination; participation; citizenship; poverty. 03 IDS WORKING PAPER 310 Giuseppe Campuzano is a Peruvian philosopher and independent researcher. Since 2003 he has run the ‘Travesti Museum’ project, an investigation on Peruvian transgenders (travestis) confronting authorised history with queer studies to develop alternative ways to reach diverse communities. This project provides a better understanding of contemporary travestis and is a useful tool for the empowerment of travesti communities. His publications include ‘Struggles for Gender Rights in Peru’ in Sexuality Matters (IDS Bulletin 2006) and ‘Gender, Identity and Travesti Rights in Peru’ in Development with a Body: Sexuality, Human Rights and Development (edited by Andrea Cornwall, Sonia Correa and Susan Jolly, 2008, London: Zed Books). He has just published a book that illustrates his four year research project on travestis, Museo Travesti del Perú (2008, Lima: IDS). 04 IDS WORKING PAPER 310 Contents Summary, keywords 3 Author note 4 Acknowledgements 6 Preface 7 1 Introduction 9 2 Relationships between gender and sexuality 10 2.1 Challenging gender dichotomies 10 2.2 Contemporary travesti encounters with gender and sexuality in Peru 12 2.2.1 Negotiating gender identity 13 3 The travesti web of deprivation ... and resourcefulness 15 3.1 (Sex) work 16 3.1.1 Sex work as total exposure 17 3.1.2 International migration 19 3.2 Health 20 3.3 Violence 22 3.3.1 Direct violence 22 3.3.2 Structural violence 23 3.3.3 Cultural violence 24 4 Politics 25 5 Ways forward 27 5.1 Making resources accessible 28 5.2 Working on sex worker rights 28 5.3 Working on identity: the Travesti Museum of Peru 29 5.4 New forms of activism 30 5.5 Working on gender dichotomies 30 References 32 05 IDS WORKING PAPER 310 Figures Figure 3.1 Travesti web of poverty disadvantages and resourcefulness 16 Figure 3.2 Travesti violence chart 25 Figure 3.3 Visibility-invisibility travesti body syndrome 27 Box Box 2.1 Known historical and contemporary transgender identities 11 Acknowledgements This publication was made possible by a grant from Sida, the UK Department for International Development (DFID) and Swiss Development Co-operation (SDC) for the Participation Team’s Participation, Power and Change Programme.

Associated with risk and danger, but hardly ever with pleasure or love, sex and sexuality have been treated by development agencies as something to be controlled and contained. The HIV/AIDS epidemic has broken old taboos and silences, and begun to open up space for the recognition of how central sexual rights are to everyone’s wellbeing. But more is needed to take us beyond the confines of narrow problem-focused thinking about sexuality towards approaches in which pleasure and desire play as large a part as danger and death do today. Sexuality is a vital aspect of development. It affects people’s livelihoods and security, their wellbeing, and sometimes their very survival. Sexual rights are a precondition for reproductive rights and for gender equality. Lack of sexual rights affects heterosexual majorities as well as sexual minorities – lesbians and gay men, transgendered and intersex people – who are so often denied basic human rights and subjected to violence and exclusion. In some countries, women are denied a choice of partner, subjected to coercive marital sex and restricted in their mobility. Pervasive homophobia places those married men who desire other men, their male partners and their wives at greater risk of HIV and AIDS. Adolescents schooled into abstinence learn little about their bodies or their desires, and may be more vulnerable to unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted infection as a result. And sex workers are routinely

  • Practical Tips for Working with Transgender Survivors of Sexual Violence
    Practical Tips: working with trans survivors michael munson Practical Tips for Working With Transgender Survivors of Sexual Violence Who Are Transgender People? Transgender is an umbrella term which encompasses the whole “gender community,” including transsexuals, cross‐dressers, intersexed individuals, androgynes, bigendered persons, genderqueers, SOFFAs (Significant Others, Friends, Family and Allies) and others. Transgender may also refer to people who do not fit neatly into either the “male” or “female” categories, instead crossing or blurring gender lines. The term can also refer to butch lesbians and effeminate gay men. In some communities, “transgender” refers only to cross‐dressers. By definition, transgender individuals piece together a self‐identity that is different from or in opposition to what everyone tells them they are. Although the rise of the Internet and growing public visibility of transgender people and issues are making it easier for individuals to tap into preexisting identity models, the transgender experience is still largely an isolated, individual one. This might be the primary reason why the nomenclature for the trans experience is both unsettled and, among trans people themselves, very hotly contested. There are literally hundreds of words used to describe a trans identity or experience (See last page). Therefore, definitions and examples should be used gingerly and in a way that makes it possible for each trans individual hirself to use the term(s) s/hei considers most reflective of hir self‐conception and experience. Key Concepts Our culture strongly promotes the idea of an immutable gender binary in which people are supposed to fit into only one of just two gender boxes, and stay there from birth to death.

  • Glossary of Terms
    Glossary of Terms Please note that the following terms are subjective, and are rooted in social, historical, and political contexts. Please also note that all sexualities and gender identities can be fluid and may change over the course of a person’s life. This is not an exhaustive list. Never assume to know how a person self- identifies – if you are not sure what term or pronoun a person prefers, just ask! Ally1 – A person who supports and celebrates sexual and gender diversity, who confronts homo/bi/transphobia, and who works for the inclusion and equal rights of LGBTQ+ people, without necessarily identifying as LGBTQ+ themselves. Asexual2 – A person who does not typically feel a notable amount of sexual attraction toward any person, regardless of sex or gender identity. Asexual people may still feel romantic attraction toward individuals of one or more genders, and often do form intimate emotional partnerships. Bi-gender – Self-identification with two genders (for example, both female and male). Biphobia – Hatred, fear, intolerance, disapproval, or disgust toward bisexual people. Biphobia is dangerous because it frequently leads to discrimination and violence against people who are, or are perceived to be, bisexual. Biphobia can be both individual and systemic, and it is practiced by various institutions in society. Bisexual – A person who is sexually or romantically attracted to two genders (for example, to both women and men). A bisexual person may or may not experience equal levels of attraction to both genders, and this attraction (like any sexuality) can be fluid over time. Cisgender – Self-identification with the gender assigned to one at birth (for example, a person born with a body labeled female who identifies as a woman, or a person born with a body labeled male who identifies as a man).

  • Homosexuality and the 1960S Crisis of Masculinity in the Gay Deceivers
    Why Don’t You Take Your Dress Off and Fight Like a Man? WHY DON’T YOU TAKE YOUR DRESS OFF AND FIGHT LIKE A MAN?: HOMOSEXUALITY AND THE 1960S CRISIS OF MASCULINITY IN THE GAY DECEIVERS BRIAN W OODMAN University of Kansas During the 1960s, it seemed like everything changed. The youth culture shook up the status quo of the United States with its inves- titure in the counterculture, drugs, and rock and roll. Students turned their universities upside-down with the spirit of protest as they fought for free speech and equality and against the Vietnam War. Many previously ignored groups, such as African Americans and women, stood up for their rights. Radical politics began to challenge the primacy of the staid old national parties. “The Kids” were now in charge, and the traditional social and cultural roles were being challenged. Everything old was old-fashioned, and the future had never seemed more unknown. Nowhere was this spirit of youthful metamorphosis more ob- vious than in the transformation of views of sexuality. In the 1960s sexuality was finally removed from its private closet and cele- brated in the public sphere. Much of the nation latched onto this new feeling of openness and freedom toward sexual expression. In the era of “free love” that characterized the latter part of the decade, many individuals began to explore their own sexuality as well as what it meant to be a traditional man or woman. It is from this historical context that the Hollywood B-movie The Gay Deceivers (1969) emerged. This small exploitation film, directed by Bruce Kessler and written by Jerome Wish, capitalizes on the new view of sexuality in the 1960s with its novel (at least for the times) comedic exploration of homosexu- ality.

  • Sissies by Brandon Hayes ; Claude J
    Sissies by Brandon Hayes ; Claude J. Summers Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2006 glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Sissy as a term for an effeminate male developed from its use as an affectionate variant of "sister"; it then came to be used as a disparaging term for boys who behaved like girls. The American Heritage Dictionary defines sissy as "a boy or man regarded as effeminate." The term is pejorative, and its use as such has powerful effects on male behavior generally. It serves as a kind of social control to enforce "gender appropriate" behavior. Indeed, so strong is its power that, in order to avoid being labeled a sissy, many boys--both those who grow up to be homosexual and those who grow up to be heterosexual--consciously attempt to redirect their interests and inclinations from suspect areas such as, for example, hair styling or the arts toward stereotypically masculine interests such as sports or engineering. In addition, they frequently repress-- sometimes at great cost--aspects of their personalities that might be associated with the feminine. At the root of the stigma attached to sissies is the fear and hatred of homosexuality and, to a lesser extent, of women. Certainly, much of the anxiety aroused by boys who are perceived as sissies is the fear (and expectation) that they will grow up to be homosexuals. The stigmatizing power of the term has had particularly strong repercussions on gay male behavior, as well as on the way that gay men are perceived, both by heterosexuals and by each other.

  • The Kathoey Phenomenon in Thai Cinema the Iron Ladies : El Fenómeno Kathoey En El Cine Tailandés
    ISSN 2173-5123 From the Iron to the Lady: The Kathoey Phenomenon in Thai Cinema The Iron Ladies : El fenómeno kathoey en el cine tailandés Recibido: 26 de octubre de 2011 Aceptado: 25 de noviembre de 2011 Milagros Expósito Barea Universidad de Sevilla [email protected] Abstract Even though they lack any legal rights, the kathoey , also known as ladyboys , have great social relevance in Thailand. We face a different way of looking at homosexuality, starting with a more tolerant consideration from the religious point of view thanks to the way it is conceived through karma. The successful release of The Iron Ladies (Thongkonthun, dir., 2000) initiated the production of an increasing number of gay films in Thailand. Choosing the standpoint of queer theory, this paper attempts to put across the reasons behind the success these films have found, studying the way Thai culture, particularly its cinema, depicts the various homosexual factions: the portrayal of the kathoey as a role model; an approach to the boom of male homosexuality in films; an investigation of the use of stereotypes; the evolution of the commercial gay comedy or the upsurge of dramas aimed at homosexual audiences. Keywords Thai cinema, gay cinema, kathoey, ladyboys. Resumen A pesar de que carecen de derechos legales, los kathoey , también conocidos como ladyboys , tienen una gran relevancia social en Tailandia. Nos encontramos ante una forma diferente de ver la homosexualidad, más tolerante en determinadas cuestiones, gracias a la visión que ofrece el budismo partiendo de una serie de preceptos fundamentados en el karma.

  • Transgender Women in Malaysia, in the Context of HIV and Islam: a Qualitative Study of Stakeholders’ Perceptions Sima Barmania1,2,4* and Syed Mohamed Aljunid1,3
    Barmania and Aljunid BMC International Health and Human Rights (2017) 17:30 DOI 10.1186/s12914-017-0138-y RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Transgender women in Malaysia, in the context of HIV and Islam: a qualitative study of stakeholders’ perceptions Sima Barmania1,2,4* and Syed Mohamed Aljunid1,3 Abstract Background: Globally, one of the key groups considered to be at high risk of acquiring HIV are transgender women, often a marginalised group. In the Malaysian context there has been a scarcity of published research relating to transgender women, a sensitive issue in a Muslim majority country, where Islam plays an influential role in society. Furthermore, there has been a paucity of research relating to how such issues relate to HIV prevention in transgender women in Malaysia. Thus, the aim of this study is to explore the attitudes of stakeholders involved in HIV prevention policy in Malaysia towards transgender women, given the Islamic context. Methods: In-depth interviews were undertaken with stakeholders involved in HIV prevention, Ministry of Health, Religious Leaders and People Living with HIV, including transgender women. Thirty five participants were recruited using purposive sampling from June to December 2013 within Kuala Lumpur and surrounding vicinities. Interviews were in person, audiotaped, transcribed verbatim and used a framework analysis. Results: Five central themes emerged from the qualitative data; Perceptions of Transgender women and their place in Society; Reaching out to Transgender Women; Islamic doctrine; ‘Cure’, ‘Correction’ and finally, Stigma and Discrimination. Discussion: Islamic rulings about transgenderism were often the justification given by participants chastising transgender women, whilst there were also more progressive attitudes and room for debate.

  • Speaking with Care
    Speaking with Care A Manual to Prevent, Mitigate, and Counter Hate Speech Targeting Sexual and Gender Minorities in East Africa Edited by Brian Pellot Published by the Rafto Foundation for Human Rights and Sexual Minorities Uganda under a Creative Commons Attribution­NonCommercial­ShareAlike 2.0 (CC BY­NC­SA 2.0) license. 2018 Acknowledgements This manual stems from a workshop the Rafto Foundation for Human Rights and Sexual Minorities Uganda (SMUG) convened with 15 people in Nairobi in June 2017 on how hate speech affects sexual and gender minorities. Discussions revealed the unique and powerful role personal narratives can play in enhancing empathy for marginalized communities and demonstrated some of the real and lasting harms hate speech can inflict. Our time together highlighted the important role religious belief plays in motivating people of faith to care for and protect sexual and gender minorities as equal members of our communities. Faith leaders at our gathering communicated a shared understanding that all persons — regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or expression — should be respected. They embraced the notion that God affirms all forms of selfless love and emphasized the special duty society shares to protect and care for those who suffer from hate speech, violence, harassment, or exclusion. Ultimately, participants agreed that sexual and gender minorities should enjoy the same fundamental rights all humans deserve including freedom of expression, association, religion, and belief. The workshop and this manual would not have been possible without the participation and insight of numerous individuals and organizations in East Africa and around the world. Workshop participants included Leacky Ochieng, Ishmael Omumbwa Ondunyi, Nhlanhla Mokwena, Frank Mugisha, Umulugele Richard Lusimbo, Dennis Wamala, Stella Nyanzi, Waweru Njenga, Opimva Pepe Julian Onziema, Solomon Gichira, Roselyn Odoyo, Laura Arudi Cori, Marie Ramtu, Esther Mombo, Joseph Tolton, Nguru Karugu, Ambrose Barigye, and Kapya Kaoma.
