Dr. Christiane Büttner: “Silence and Invisibility: Gender Role Nonconformity Drives Ostracism of Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual People”
Lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) individuals often face overt discrimination and violence for challenging traditional gender roles in heteronormative societies. However, a less visible yet equally harmful form of discrimination—ostracism, or being excluded and ignored—remains underexplored.
This talk — held by Christine Büttner — delves into how LGB individuals experience higher rates of ostracism compared to their straight counterparts, particularly when they defy gender norms. The findings suggest that ostracism is not just a social slight but a significant, discriminatory experience rooted in societal expectations of gender conformity that can add to the marginalization of sexual minorities.
Christiane Büttner is Postdoc-Researcher in Social Psychology at the University of Basel and holds this talk on November 26 in the frame of the Gender Studies Graduate Program Basel.
