Cross-gendered identifications and homosexual boyhood: toward a more complex theory of gender
Abstract:
This paper focuses on a subset of homosexual boys whose mixed gender experience moves beyond the conventional categories of masculinity and femininity, and who are often labeled as pathological due to a reluctance to recognize the reality of gender variance and cross-gendered identifications within the domain of mental health. Clinical examples are offered to highlight the need for a theory of gender that accounts for the interweaving of gender and psychic structure as they co-evolve and reflect the chaos inherent in human subjectivity.
