Dismantling Gender Binaries: An Emergent Model for Nonbinary Identity Development
C. V. Dolan; Jason C. Garvey
Journal of Women and Gender in Higher Education, v17 n3 p167-185 2024
The purpose of this article is to describe an emergent model that conceptualizes common experiences for nonbinary people as they explore and navigate their identities by synthesizing existing nonbinary identity development literature. We ground our manuscript epistemologically in queer theory, queer of color critique, and intersectionality theory. Our model traces stars that make up nonbinary identity development constellations: embracing fluidity and ambiguity, exploring transition, navigating disclosure, witnessing and mirroring, developing kinship networks, and worldmaking. We guide our conversations to practitioners, administrators, and policymakers in higher education and student affairs to complicate their understanding of gender identity development processes with goals of creating more gender-affirming practices and policies for nonbinary people in higher education.
