Abstract:
This exploratory qualitative study aimed to find out more about how the children\'s social work system interacts with non-binary parents. It highlights the specific detriment that can be faced by non-binary people hoping to adopt or foster in the United Kingdom. Three key themes emerged: (1) Barriers for non-binary carers, (2) Prejudice in adoption and fostering matching processes and (3) Intersectional disadvantage. The study found that non-binary people experience specific detriment when endeavouring to start or grow their families, examining how cisgenderism operates to privilege some identities over others. Multiple barriers affect the way non-binary people try and navigate how their family lives in a society that is organised around binary gender identities. Cisgenderism can subtly and pervasively exert a devaluing of identities that sit outside of entrenched binary gender norms, influencing how people can understand and express their gender identities within society.
摘要:
这项探索性的定性研究旨在进一步了解儿童的社会工作系统如何与非二元父母互动。它强调了希望在英国收养或寄养的非二元人群可能面临的具体损害。出现了三个关键主题:(1)非二元照顾者的障碍,(2)收养和培养匹配过程中的偏见和(3)交叉劣势。研究发现,非二元的人在努力开始或成长家庭时会受到特定的损害,研究顺性主义是如何使某些身份凌驾于其他身份之上的。多重障碍会影响非二元人群在一个围绕二元性别身份组织的社会中的家庭生活方式。顺性主义可以巧妙地和普遍地贬低根深蒂固的二元性别规范之外的身份,影响人们如何理解和表达他们在社会中的性别认同。
