Rethinking gender diversity: Transgender and gender nonconforming people and gender as constellation
本文挑战基于二元顺性别规范的性别主流观点,提出用“性别星座”隐喻替代“性别光谱”,以更包容地理解跨性别与性别非二元人群的多样性,对组织研究和实践有启示。
Abstract In this article, we challenge the mainstream view of gender rooted in binary cisnormativity and suggest that the gender frameworks used to inform organizational research and practice are inadequate with respect to the range of transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) identities. We employ Hacking's “dynamic nominalism” to illustrate how evolving classifications of TGNC people operate as a discriminating factor that threatens their lived experiences. As an alternative to the binary cisnormative metaphor of gender as a spectrum, we adopt a more inclusive metaphor of a gender constellation and sketch out its potential conceptualization that promotes multidimensional, non‐hierarchical, and dynamic approaches to gender diversity.
