  • Bi Women Quarterly Vol
    Winter 2019 Bisexuality & Disability Bi Women Quarterly Vol. 37 No. 1 A publication of the Boston Bisexual Women’s Network, for women everywhere Pap Smears & Paint Parties: A Journey Toward Embracing My Bisexuality By Sara Krahel This year I finally came out to my best friend as bisexual. But first, I have to tell you about my first pap smear. You see, I have cerebral palsy and my legs often spasm when I get uncomfortable or nervous. I was certainly nervous going into the appointment because I knew there would be issues with those infamous stirrups. It was the day that changed my life. Let me set the scene: it is the day of the fated pap smear. I had hooked my arms around one leg in a death grip, a nurse was holding the other, as the gynecologist was performing the procedure as fast as she could. In this circumstance it was not just my legs that seized up, it was my entire lower body, including my vagina. I was visibly sweating and red in the face, trying to hold onto my twitching right leg. The doctor noticed me struggling and told me to “relax and breathe.” I rolled my eyes, knowing that it wouldn’t magically make my entire body stop spazzing, but I took a deep breath to be a good sport. It did not help with the spasms. Although the doctor and nurse were medical professionals, they didn’t get that I couldn’t relax in this compromising position. Can anyone truly relax with strangers holding on to their legs and looking at their genitals? No.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ASU Digital Repository Identity Spectrums, Analytic Adolescents, and “Gays in Space!” A Qualitative Investigation of Youth Queer Narrative Reception by Andrew Waldron A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved March 2018 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Stephani Etheridge Woodson, Co-Chair Kristin Hunt, Co-Chair Johnny Saldaña Erika Hughes ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2018 ABSTRACT This research study examines the interaction between youth queer narratives and young people through examining my core research question, How do young people engage, interpret, and respond to queer narratives? Applying a feminist narrative analysis to examine the qualitative data, I propose a methodological research shift where the voices of youth are valued as content experts; an artistic shift that moves content-creation away from a top down traditional media model and towards a youth-centered new media approach for art making; an aesthetic shift away from over-used stereotypes, tropes, and stale representations and instead innovate to represent intersectional, spectrum-based diversity of the LGBTQ+ experience. This qualitative research study utilizes questionnaires, focus groups, and case study interviews, to engage adolescent perceptions of queer narratives. The youth, ranging in ages from 15 to 18 years old and living in the Phoenix, Arizona metro area, explore and examine LGBTQ+ themes, characters, plots in traditional and new media. My dissertation examines youth interactions with queer narratives through three chapters. These address themes of: character, identity, and representation; plot and the search for accuracy; and the symbiotic exchange between narrative and community.
