“…Social Gender Role Affirmation mainly focusing on the desire of transgender women to live as a transgender female in part of their social life, corresponds to the social construction of identity in the Trans-Identity Theory ( Nagoshi et al, 2014 ). As noted above, there is a proven relationship between social gender identity and well-being ( Zitelny et al, 2021 ). The researchers agree that transgender women can establish their own gender roles and gender expression in the way they like.…”

Development and Psychometric Evaluation of the Gender Identity Scale for Transgender Women in China

Transgender women are an important subgroup of the transgender umbrella and have their own unique gender identity. This article aimed to understand and measure the latent concept of gender identity among Chinese transgender women from a multi-dimensional perspective. Through a two-phase, iterative scale development process, we developed the Gender Identity Scale for Transgender Women (GIS-TW) in Chinese. Literature reviews, expert consultations, and focus groups constitute phrase 1 of the study, which resulted in the first version of GIS-TW with 30 items. In phrase 2, exploratory factor analysis on a sample of 244 Chinese transgender women revealed a six-factor solution across the 22 items. The Bem Sex Role Inventory was included to test for convergent validity, and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale was used to test discriminant validity. Then we conducted the confirmatory factor analysis with an independent sample of 420 Chinese transgender women, which produced the final version of GIS-TW with 21 items. The internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.71–0.87) and test-retest stability (r = 0.73–0.87) of each factor was good. In conclusion, the GIS-TW is a reliable and valid psychometric tool for the assessment of Chinese transgender women’s gender identity. Future application of the scale will help transgender women obtain better gender confirmative interventions.

“…Prior research suggests that the gender identity concept begins with the intrapersonal level as a self-evaluation of masculinity or femininity and influences how people perceive the world and how they behave [52,53]. In other words, societal norms about ideal masculinity and femininity may inform an individuals' gender identity; meanwhile, gender identity can form the rationale for the specific gendered behaviors one displays [54][55][56]. Additionally, since possessions and behaviors can serve as signals of identity, individuals may maintain gender identity through their choices [57,58].…”

Do Electronic Coupon-Using Behaviors Make Men Womanish? The Effect of the Coupon–Feminine Stereotype

Why are men less likely to use electronic coupons than women? Previous studies have explained the gender difference in coupon usage by exploring roles within the household and personality traits of the sexes. However, this research offers a novel explanation for this phenomenon, that men’s reluctance to use e-coupons may derive from the prevalent stereotype that e-coupon users are feminine. Because of the feminine stereotype associated with e-coupon usage, acquiring and using e-coupons are inconsistent with men’s gender identity. Five studies combining real data analysis, an online survey and experiments are used to support the previous notion. Using e-coupon acquisition data from a platform, study 1 tests whether females are more likely to acquire and use e-coupons than males in the real world. Study 2 experimentally tests the coupon–feminine stereotype. Study 3 explores the mediation effect of gender identity threat. Study 4 and study 5 consider two boundary conditions under which male consumers may be motivated to use e-coupons: when male consumers’ masculine identity is affirmed, and when the association between e-coupons and femininity is weakened. The results explain the gender difference in e-coupon usage from the novel lens of the coupon–feminine stereotype, offering a new and important perspective to explore the effect of gender identity on coupon use. Practical implications such as breaking the coupon–feminine stereotype, adopting a masculine design and communicating an affirmation of gender identity are further discussed.

“…This continuous process has led to the creation of certain norms, acceptable social roles and behaviour patterns. One of such norms is the concept of gender, a set of socially constructed characteristics of women, men, girls and boys that varies from society to society and can change over time [1][2][3][4][5][6][7], playing an important role in popular culture and literature [8,9].The concept of gender fluidity challenges social norms [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Adopting a binary point of view, being gender fluid can be defined as having a different gender identity at different times [18].…”

Magnetism-Inspired Quantum-Mechanical Model of Gender Fluidity

Quantum-mechanical models of human cognition, opinion formation and decision-making have changed the way we understand and predict human behaviour in many practical situations, including political elections, financial decisions and international affairs. Yet, at present, such models overlook certain essential social aspects of human behaviour and self-identification. In this paper, we introduce a magnetism-inspired quantum-mechanical model of gender fluidity, a concept that challenges social norms across the globe. Addressing a number of independent suggestions made by members of the general public concerning a potential analogy between quantum superposition and non-binary self-identification, we explore new territories, demonstrating that physic of magnetism can help explain gender fluidity and similar social phenomena better than the traditional quantum-mechanical models of human cognition and perception. We anticipate that the proposed model can be used to analyse experimental datasets aimed to develop sexual orientation and gender identity legal definitions as well as to create artificial intelligence systems that can sensibly identify both binary and non-binary genders.
