“…Furthermore, although this increased representation may be positive on the surface, it is not free from flaws. Media inclusion is marked by the homonormative mandate and privileges LGBTQ+ people who conform to the cisheteronormative model, that is, men, white, Western, middle or upper class, in monogamous relationships, and with a normative gender identity and expression (Francisco Amat et al, 2020;Robinson, 2016). Thereby, gay cisgender men receive much more media attention, while trans and gender diverse people receive much less recognition and are not as positively represented in the media (Capuzza & Spencer, 2017).…”

Recent anti‐LGBTQ+ discourse has increased the threat of violence against people who do not follow the cisheteronormative mandates. To face these dialectics, the media can offer alternative discourses, in particular by providing realistic and non‐stereotyped LGBTQ+ representations. Media portrayals can be seen as both positive and negative. On one hand, they may offer stereotypical and narrow representations, but on the other, they can include representations that can become aspirational models and improve visibility. The objective of this article is to explore this second perspective by analyzing the representation of Jules, a trans female character from the American series <em>Euphoria</em> (Levinson et al., 2019–present). To this end, we conducted a close reading analysis (Castelló, 2008) of the first season of the series. The results show three axes of representation that move away from the traditional portrayal of trans characters: (a) a narrative that moves beyond the “trans fact” and presents complex and plural stories, (b) a representation of the trans individual as an element of value and love, away from fetishism, and (c) a link between the trans realm and specific spaces of comfort and freedom.

“…Regarding the learning process and the sense of self-worth and self-esteem, heteronormativity and cisnormativity among education spaces can be detrimental to young people who are nonheterosexual or non-cisgender as they do not feel represented (Aguirre et al, 2020;Francisco Amat et al, 2020;Sondag et al, 2020). The quote (Sedgwick, 1990, p. 22), "People are different from each other," echoed the idea of breaking "traditional hegemonic male and female social positions" (Hammarén & Johansson, 2014, p. 9).…”

Research has shown the impetus for utilising dramatic techniques in addressing issues around gender and sexual diversity (GSD) in education. This article argues that drama is an important way of engaging in conversations around GSD in educational settings. The article begins with an exploration of heteronormativity and cisnormativity in education and studies the usefulness of drama and theatre as tools applied to promote GSD. Prior research and projects conducted in different contexts were analysed. The article concludes that five dramatic components could be identified and are pivotal in educational programmes that implemented performing arts and participatory pedagogies in the discussion of GSD - exploration, open-endedness, playfulness, aesthetic distance, and experimentation. The article analysed the development of exploring GSD from artistic and dramatic viewpoints in education spaces during recent decades, and concluded by encouraging future GSD projects to proceed to be creative and inclusive in tackling gender diversity and its visibility.

“…Por su parte, la comunidad trans sigue sin tener mucha visibilidad, ya que un 64.8% de los adolescentes evaluados no conocía a ninguna persona trans. Cuando se les pidió que pensaran en alguna figura histórica o un personaje famoso LGTBI+, solo el 13% de los estudiantes hizo referencia a un personaje histórico y un 35% a una personalidad actual (Francisco Amat et al, 2020).…”

People who belong to a sexual minority face diverse stressful situations due to not being heterosexual, such as discrimination, disclosure of their sexual orientation, or fear of rejection. All these experiences result in an added emotional burden that can negatively affect their mental health. For this reason, the purpose of this thesis is to analyze specific situations that sexual minority face and to determine their impact on their mental health, taking into account the differences in sexual orientation and gender.The final sample of the study consisted of 4676 people, aged between 18 and 72 years (M = 33.14; SD = 11.73). Specifically, the sample was divided into six groups: 1000 heterosexual men, 1000 heterosexual women, 940 gay men, 289 lesbian women, 458 plurisexual men (bisexual and pansexual), and 989 plurisexual women (bisexual and pansexual). All of the participants answered a battery of questionnaires that among other variables, evaluated mental health, well-being, and quality of life, experiences of general victimization, sexual abuse, and the process of development and awareness of sexual orientation. In addition, in the specific case of sexual minorities, they also answered questions about the reaction of their family members when they found out about their LGTBI+ identity (lesbian, gay, trans, bisexual, intersex, and other sexual minorities), if they had had LGTBI+ referents during the process of their sexual orientation awareness, and some questions about discrimination, stigma, and stress of sexual minorities.The results showed that, in general, plurisexual people are the ones with the worst mental health, especially plurisexual women. However, in terms of discrimination, stigma, and stress of sexual minorities, gay men have experienced them more frequently. On the other hand, plurisexual people reported having the greatest difficulties during their development process and their sexual orientation awareness. Through the general regression models, it is seen that the specific experiences of sexual minorities explain between 23.9% and 28.3% of the variance
