Annotated Bibliography: Gender Identity
Gurin, P., & Townsend, A. (1986). Properties of gender identity and their implications for gender consciousness. British Journal of Social Psychology, 25(2), 139-148.
The authors of this journal publication discussed the long-term and short-term
impacts and consequences for the woman surveyed that have announced their
gender identity issues. This journal entry lacks depth and overall validity
given the survey method of receiveing their data. However, still useful for the
assignment by giving good look into social impacts.
Hines, M., Brook, C., & Conway, G. S. (2004). Androgen and psychosexual development: Core gender identity, sexual orientation, and recalled childhood gender role behavior in women and men with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). Journal of sex research, 41(1), 75-81.
The Authors of this journal publication take the approach to clinically diagnose
their research with women who show male-typical behavior. The authors have
found a correlation between women with this behavior and congenital adrenal
hyperplasia (CAH). The scope of this work is to draw conclusions and identify
reasons for the affected women with gender identity issues. This is a fairly good
study; however, there is more research to be done before it is certain causes.
Litosseliti, L., & Sunderland, J. (Eds.). (2002). Gender identity and discourse analysis (Vol. 2). John Benjamins Publishing.
The Authors of this book use a collection of works that take on the continuing changes
that gender identity are influencing. These changes range from consumer products and
their marketing, to the concealment of lesbian identity, and overall the authors focus on
gender through the use of language; moreover, the disappearing line between male and
female genders, something that was once “black and white”. This source in relation to
the other sources is different in that it doesn’t truly have a side they stand on; however,
there is a feminist tone throughout. Overall, this book is a good reference in just how
wide of an issue gender identity spans.
