We examined young gay, bisexual and questioning men's (YGBQM) experiences with school-based sex education as they sought to learn about sex and sexual health, and their suggestions for improving same-sex education resources. Thematic analysis of 30 in-depth interviews with YGBQM (ages 18-24) underscored the discrepancies between the existing school-based sex education curricula and YGBQM's perceived sex education needs. Our results show that many youths' sexuality and same-sex sexual behaviors are excluded in sex education lessons; however, YGBQM noted that they sought out other resources (e.g., websites) to answer their questions. We discuss YGBQM's ideas for the creation of a sex and sexual health website that would be tailored for youth like themselves, including topics and features that an ideal website would contain. In addition, we present recommended changes to existing school-based sexual education curricula.

Ce numéro de 2012 illustre les pratiques féministes entre engagements, luttes et théories. *** FéminÉtudes est une revue étudiante, féministe et multidisciplinaire. La revue est née en 1995 de l’initiative d’étudiantes féministes dans l’intérêt de partager leurs recherches et de créer un groupe affinitaire. La revue est dirigée par des collectifs de rédaction bénévoles et autogérés, et soutenue par l’Institut de Recherches en Études Féministes (IREF) de l’Université du Québec à Montréal. Au fil des ans, FéminÉtudes a réussi à se bâtir une réputation et une légitimité dans le champ de la recherche en études féministes, tout en offrant une tribune au travaux et aux réflexions de dizaines d’étudiant.e.s. Au-delà de la recherche, c’est également pour l’avancement des luttes féministes que FéminÉtudes souhaite continuer à grandir.

The author discusses issues pertaining to transgender women and girls. Women identifying as male or transitioning to becoming male are often ignored in the scientific and lay literature on transgender people. The many newer terms for transgender women and girls are discussed, as well as new ways for transgender girls to express their identities. The importance of family and community supports is discussed, and common issues that young transgender people bring into mental health treatment are elucidated.

Cet article examine les représentations sociales de l’équité en santé sexuelle à partir de données d’entrevues auprès de 30 enseignantes et enseignants des écoles secondaires de la région d’Ottawa, incluant cinq municipalités périphériques de l’est et du centre‐est ontariens.Partant d’un cadre d’interprétation féministe des principaux écueils des interventions en éducation sexuelle, notamment l’âgisme, le naturalisme, l’essentialisme, l’hétérosexisme et l’ethnocentrisme, l’analyse révèle l’omniprésence d’une conception biomédicale de la sexualité qui, nourrie par l’imaginaire du risque, parvient difficilement à rompre les résistances en matière de plaisir, d’autoérotisme et d’intégration des différences sexuelles, « raciales » ou ethniques.

The current study examined the role of gender atypical self-presentation on the alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana use, as well as symptoms of substance abuse/misuse, of an ethnically diverse sample of 76 young (ages 14-21 years) lesbian and bisexual women who were interviewed between 1993 and 1995 in New York City. Even after controlling for age, sexual identity, and social desirability, young butch women reported drinking alcohol more frequently and in greater quantity, smoking more cigarettes, and using marijuana more frequently than young femme women. Experiences of gay-related stressful events, internalized homophobia, and emotional distress were found to largely account for the butch/femme differences in tobacco and marijuana use, but not in higher levels of alcohol use. Despite the small convenience sample, these findings suggest that intervention efforts to address the higher levels of substance use among young lesbian and bisexual women may increase effectiveness by also addressing experiences of gay-related stress and emotional distress of young butch women. The study's limitations are noted

« Community-based research in public health focuses on social, structural, and physical environmental inequities through active involvement of community members, organizational representatives, and researchers in all aspects of the research process. Partners contribute their expertise to enhance understanding of a given phenomenon and to integrate the knowledge gained with action to benefit the community involved. This review provides a synthesis of key principles of community-based research, examines its place within the context of different scientific paradigms, discusses rationales for its use, and explores major challenges and facilitating factors and their implications for conducting effective community-based research aimed at improving the public's health » [Résumé original]
