Gender Expression and Homophobia: A Motor Development and Learning Perspective
Garcia, Clersida
Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance (JOPERD), v82 n8 p47-49 Oct 2011
Homosexuality and homophobia are rarely discussed in schools, yet they are relevant in motor-development and motor-learning settings because people hold gender-stereotyped beliefs about movement and about lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgendered individuals. This article addresses homophobia and related stereotypes in physical education settings by identifying several misconceptions people hold about sex, gender, and homosexuality; describes stereotypical gender-specific expressions about movement; and provides suggestions for teachers to help children and parents develop movement freely. (Contains 1 table.)
