Gender- and sex-related norms have an impact on us from the first
to the last day of our lives. What are the effects of such norms on
the education of children and adolescents? Conveyed via
parents/family, school, and peers, they seem to be an inseparable
part of human relations. After its favorable reception in
German-speaking countries from 2014 onwards, this title is now
available in English. The texts show that the traditional
assumption of a dualistic, bipolar normativity of sex and gender
leads to children being taught gender-typical behavior. The
contributions in this volume explore the reasons for these
practices and open the debate on the divergence between the
prevailing norms and the plurality of different life plans. In
addition, the book helps to disengage the topic of sex and gender
from a hitherto narrowly circumscribed context of sexual
orientation. The contributions point the way towards a culture of
respect and mutual acceptance and show new methodological as well
as theoretical approaches, e.g. by introducing the figure of the
continuum, so that, in future research projects, more than just the
two sexes and genders of female and male might be considered as a
new normality.
