Genderbashing: sexuality, gender, and the regulation of public space
The A. addresses the relations between gender and sexuality in violence known as gaybashing, and argues that a perceived transgression of normative sex-gender relations motivates most aggressive incidents. The implications for this insight
for the individuals who live outside normative relations (transgenders) are considered. The ways in which the public space is defined through gender are examined. There is also an analysis of antiviolence activism in the city of Montréal.
