Frost, Ph.D. Charlotte Tate, Ph.D. Kevin Nadal, Ph.D. THE CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK iv ABSTRACT (Dis)entangling Gender Expression and Race in Antigay Discrimination: An Intersectional Approach by Steph M. Anderson Advisor: Michelle Fine Current psychological definitions and operationalizations of antigay discrimination conceptualize negative treatment of lesbian, gay, bisexual and queer (LGBQ) individuals as a response to their same-gender sexual orientations and not other factors. Because an individual’s sexual orientation is always understood through racialized hegemonic gender ideologies, however, attention to gender expression – how one “does” gender – and dynamics of race within antigay encounters is essential. Comprised of two mixed-method studies, this dissertation examines the role of gender expression and race in antigay discriminatory encounters from two perspectives: those who are targets of discrimination (i.e., cisgender and transgender LGBQ individuals) and those who may discriminate (i.e., straight individuals). Quantitative and qualitative findings from Study 1 revealed that presenting in ways that varied from or adhered to traditional gender expectations in relation to one’s birth-assigned gender translated into qualitatively distinct experiences of discrimination for LGBQ participants, suggesting that sexual orientation can exist as both a visible and concealable social identity. The visibility of “race” relative to normative Whiteness also produced distinctions between LGBQ participants of color and White LGBQ individuals both within intra- and interracial contexts. Demonstrating the importance of attending to covert forms of discrimination, LGBQ individuals v experienced ambiguity both in regard to if discrimination occurred and if it did as a result of which of their social identities. Study 2 utilized an experimental design to examine the extent to which antigay discrimination as expressed among straight individuals is a function of target gender, gender expression, sexual orientation and race. Although no significant main effects or interactions were found in tests of the main hypotheses, straight participants who failed to pass one or multiple scenario manipulation checks did so disproportionately in scenarios where the target defied the gender inversion stereotype that gay men are effeminate and lesbian woman are masculine (e.g., a straight woman who was masculine in appearance). That no differences existed between eligible and non-eligible participants in terms contact with LGBQ individuals, social desirability, a priori antigay prejudice or endorsement of gender norm beliefs, points to the power of hegemonic gender ideologies above and beyond attitudinal beliefs and suggests that misrecognition constitutes an additional form of covert discrimination. Taken together, findings across both studies demonstrate the salience of hegemonic gender ideologies in the precipitation and interpretation of antigay discriminatory encounters. The extent to which one’s sexual orientation is perceivable is always tenuous, context-dependent, and an inter-relational experience that is informed by racialized gender stereotypes. These findings carry implications for psychological research and policy work in terms of the conceptualization of antigay discrimination and work toward its eradication. If one of the primary functions of antigay discrimination is to maintain gender ideologies, violence and discrimination against LGQB individuals will continue to exist as long as White hegemonic gender norms remain intact. vi Acknowledgments This dissertation would not have been possible without the support from an exorbitant number of people in my life. First, my greatest appreciation goes to my primary mentor and advisor, Michelle Fine. Throughout my nine years of graduate school, Michelle has been an unwavering source of insight and inspiration. She encouraged me early on in my graduate school career to explore the depth and breadth of my research interests, including a foray in film school. I attribute my multi-faceted growth as a scholar to her untiring support and willingness to journey with me “outside the box.” My work will forever be a product of this relationship. I must also express my heartfelt gratitude to Deb Tolman, whose mentorship and invitations to collaborate have proven invaluable to my professional and academic development. Deb has lovingly demanded intentionality in my writing and speech (always define the “it”!) and taught me that feeling “stuck” is part of the painful joy of doing research. Working as a part of SexGenLab has allowed me to plant firm roots within the psychology of gender and sexuality. David Frost has also been integral to my completion of this dissertation. Early on, his mixed-methods expertise was foundational to the design of the dissertation and his statistical support throughout allowed me to deepen my methodological and analytical toolbox. David is also responsible for fostering my professional connection with Charlotte Tate. Although Charlotte is “only” an external reader, her feedback over the last year has profoundly shaped my thinking and approach to researching queer experience. This dissertation was further shaped by Kevin Nadal, whose approach to the academy as a scholar, activist and colleague is one I deeply admire. I am honored to have Kevin as an external reader. vii I would also like to acknowledge Judith Kubran – aka “Jude,” whose couch, candy jar, personal wisdom and love of cats have been invaluable sources of sustenance throughout my graduate career. I am also tremendously grateful to the intellectual and emotional support from a number of my friends and colleagues: Carolina Muñoz Proto, Erica Friedman, Amanda Matles, Brian Davis, Allison Cabana, Kimberly Belmonte, Jenn Chmielewski, as well as the rest of the “Little Debbies.” Their intellectual curiosity, candor and camaraderie have made these final years not only possible, but also enjoyable. I would like to especially thank Christin Bowman for her reassurance and insight throughout graduate school and especially during the process of writing this dissertation. “CBo” has been a professional and personal pillar of support to me. This dissertation and completion of graduate school would not have been possible without the love and encouragement from my parents, Kevin and Linda. Throughout all of my (perfectionist) pursuits, Dad has been constant in reminding me to “not work too hard” and “be reasonable” with myself when challenges feel insurmountable. His generosity, humility, and ability to grow are inspirations to me in their own right. From the beginning and up until the end of graduate school, Mom has been my companion on this journey from afar. Her perseverance and wisdom as she moves through and over inevitable obstacles in her own life continue to leave indelible impressions. I would not have survived this last push without her, and no one knows the periods, commas and sentence structure of this dissertation better than she. She has importantly taught me that sometimes going straight to “therapy three” is the perfect choice. Finally, the completion of this dissertation would not have been possible without the love and support of my partner, Molly O’Connell, who continuously reminds me of the joys of laughter and beauty of a closed Macbook. I am forever grateful. viii Table of Contents Abstract…………………………………………………………………………………………iv Acknowledgements……………………………………………………………………………..vi List of Tables……………………………………………………………………………………ix List of Figures…………………………………………………………………………………...xi Chapter 1: Introduction and Aims………………………………………………………………..1 Chapter 2: Study 1 – Disrupting Gender Binaries: An Intersectional Analysis of Antigay Discriminatory Encounters………………………………………………………………26 Chapter 3: Study 2 – Antigay Discrimination as a Function of Target Gender, Gender Expression, Sexual Orientation and Race..………………………………………………87 Chapter 4: Assessment of Gender Expression: Considering Concepts, Methods and Analysis…………………………………………………………………….……....120 Chapter 5: General Discussion and Conclusion………………………………………………...140 Appendices

  • PATHWAYS INTO POVERTY Lived Experiences Among LGBTQ People
    RESEARCH THAT MATTERS PATHWAYS INTO POVERTY Lived Experiences Among LGBTQ People September 2020 Bianca D.M. Wilson Alexandra-Grissell H. Gomez Madin Sadat Soon Kyu Choi M. V. Lee Badgett Pathways into Poverty: Lived Experiences Among LGBTQ People | 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY More than a decade of empirical research has shown that LGBT people in the United States experience poverty at higher rates compared to cisgender heterosexual people.1 More recently, research has also shown that transgender people and cisgender bisexual women experience the highest rates of economic insecurity.2 In response to this knowledge, numerous advocacy and direct services organizations have worked to identify public policies and interventions that can address the high rates of poverty among sexual and gender minority people. However, there is very little research to support any claims about why poverty is so prevalent among LGBT people. Without greater specification of the causes of poverty and the factors affecting the experience of poverty, policies and services may be using less effective mechanisms for alleviating economic insecurity. In the interest of informing the ongoing dialogue about how sexual orientation and gender identity relate to poverty, we designed this study to document experiences with poverty, including factors leading to and maintaining economic insecurity among LGBTQ people. This report is one of several that will be developed from the data collected in the Pathways to Justice Project. The Pathways Project aimed to document updated figures on the national and state-by-state rates of LGBT poverty and explore the experiences and needs of LGBTQ adults living in poverty. As part of this project, we conducted in-person interviews with 93 LGBTQ people in Los Angeles County (n = 60) and Kern County (n = 33) with low incomes or other indicators of economic instability.

  • 'Zombie' Homes by Jim Redden January 4, 2018 Mayor Says Cost, Complexity Force Other Solutions but Might Consider More Reforms to Program Pushed by Predecessor
    The Portland Tribune Wheeler Pauses Hales Campaign to Foreclose on 'Zombie' Homes By Jim Redden January 4, 2018 Mayor says cost, complexity force other solutions but might consider more reforms to program pushed by predecessor. Portland used the threat of foreclosure to force scofflaw landlords to take responsibility for 10 derelict properties over the past 18 months. But the City Council did not approve any others for foreclosure in all of 2017, despite pledging to routinely review potential new ones. The reversal happened after former Mayor Charlie Hales — who pushed the council to crack down harder on "zombie" homes — left office. His successor, Mayor Ted Wheeler, doesn't consider foreclosures a high priority. "The obstacles for government to take away someone's property are formidable," says Wheeler, who took office last January. "It's a very expensive, multiyear process. I'm not sure that's the best use of our resources." The change essentially leaves the enforcement system where it was before the council approved Hales' June 2016 reforms aimed at cracking down on zombie homes, which often sit empty and are a blight on neighborhoods. The Bureau of Development Services, which inspects and cites substandard properties for code violations, maintains a list of hundreds of the worst properties in the city. When BDS cannot convince landlords to pay their fines and fix them up, it can refer them to the City Auditor's Office, which tries again. When the auditor runs out of options, properties can be referred to the council to be approved for foreclosure. If the council agrees, the property is sent to the city treasurer, who schedules a foreclosure auction.

I could sell this on Craigslist and make some cash, I wrote, but I’d rather see it bring joy to a friend. Then I slept. By the morn- ing, fourteen people had responded saying they would love to have it—dear companions, plus two people I’d worked with once. But I woke up with a premonition. Whoever took this kayak would die in it. I rescinded the offer and left the kayak sitting under the trees in the yard for the rest of the fall. It acquired a coat of yellowed pine needles and wet brown leaves. Before the ground froze, I dug a huge trench behind the shed and buried it under thick dirt, and in the spring, sprinkled on grass seed and straw. It became a small hillock, forgotten. Eventually all my friends died anyhow, and so did I. Two hundred years went by, a few more, and some peo- ple, building anew, dug and hit the plastic shell in the earth. They dragged it out and set it in a meadow and used it to gather rain.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION “Cultural Competence in the Digital Age: Trending #Apps, #Games, #Socialmedia” Welcome to the 33rd Annual Winter Roundtable on Cultural Psychology and Education, sponsored by the Dean’s Office and the Counseling Psychology Program at Teachers College, Columbia University. The Winter Roundtable is the longest running continuing professional education program in the United States devoted solely to cultural issues in psychology and education. The theme of the 2016 Roundtable conference is “Cultural Competence in the Digital Age: Trending #Apps, #Games, #Socialmedia.” We are very pleased to welcome future leaders and professionals, and will feature research and interventions regarding multicultural concerns in community, school, and family settings, as well as individual development, across a wide range of topics, including language, literacy, access, wellness, cultural values, training, and experiences with oppression and discrimination. This year's conference is a two-day program consisting of paper and symposium presentations, workshops, student poster presentations, and roundtable discussions conducted by invited and selected experts in the fields of multicultural psychology, education, and related disciplines. The Winter Roundtable continues its tradition of bringing together scholars, practitioners, educators, researchers, advocates of social change, and students who value the complex influences of race, ethnicity, social class, gender, sexual orientation, and religious affiliation in psychology and education. Several years ago, the Roundtable instituted the Social Justice Action Award, which celebrates the contributions of individuals who have exemplified social change through their principles and practice. The inaugural recipient of the Social Justice Action Award was bell hooks, followed by Jane Elliott in 2005, Linda James Myers in 2006, Ronald Takaki in 2007, Michelle Fine in 2008, William Cross in 2009, Concepción Saucedo Martinez in 2010, Bertha G.

Accordions and tubas – it’s like a Mexican polka, and it hits my brain, triggering my hand to shoot over and flail at the alarm clock until it stops. Scrambling out of bed, I fling the covers to the floor, and run over to the window. With my hand on the curtain cord, I pause to offer a silent prayer to any deity who wants to help a guy miss any amount of high school - One, two, shwing! The curtains part to reveal a lightly frosted window pane through which I can barely see the surrounding landscape because of a thick, white, billowy blanket of freshly fallen – snow ! Woohoo! “No school!” My excitement is checked, however, when my mother’s voice comes barreling in from another part of the house, like a heat-seeking missile, “You’d better check anyway.” Rolling my eyes, I grumble over to my PC to check the school district’s website.
