Kevin Waldman writes that he:
…conducted a mixed-methods study on the University of Michigan campus examining identity formation, belonging, and psychological safety within campus LGBTQ coalition structures. …
Put plainly: the data suggest that gay students experience pressure to align with trans-centered frameworks, while trans students do not report a comparable expectation to align with gay-centered frameworks. … Gay male participants in interviews did not describe hostility toward trans peers. They described vigilance. They described scanning their speech before speaking. They described calculating reputational risk. They described fatigue. …
The findings from this study suggest that universities should consider restoring orientation-specific spaces for gay youth – spaces organized explicitly around same-sex relational development and psychosocial experience – alongside broader LGBTQ coalitions.
While I question whether “broader LGBTQ+ coalitions” make sense given the conflicting interests of those of us who are gay and those who are trans-identifying, particularly transactivists (i.e., protecting and safeguarding the natural development of gender-nonconforming kids vs. encouraging them to trans-identify and socially/medically transition), kudos to the author for going so far as to encourage gay-specific social spaces for gay students. I hope the pushback from the TQ+ side isn’t overwhelming.
