Elder Transgender Lesbians: Exploring the Intersection of Age,Lesbian Sexual Identity,and Transgender Identity

This study is the first to examine the experiences and needs of an international sample of current, English-speaking, lesbian, transgender-identified (trans-lesbian) adults around a number of later life and end-of-life perceptions, preparations, and concerns. I analyzed a subset (n = 276) of the cross-sectional data collected from the online Trans MetLife Survey on Later-Life Preparedness and Perceptions in Transgender-Identified Individuals (N = 1,963). I assessed perceptions and fears around aging, preparation for later life, and end-of-life as well as numerous demographic and psycho-social variables. Despite the overall feeling that they have aged successfully, the respondent trans-lesbian population harbors significant fears about later life. I found that this population, while better-prepared than the overall respondent trans-identified population, is still ill-prepared for the major legalities and events that occur in the later to end-of-life time periods.     

The Interaction of HIV Knowledge,Perceived Risk,and Sex Differences on Risky Sex

Objectives: Risky sexual behavior increases during college. HIV knowledge and risk perception have been inconsistent predictors of risky sex independently. Methods: This study tested the interaction between HIV knowledge, risk perception, and sex to predict risky sex in college students (N = 171; 52.0% female). Results: Women's HIV knowledge resulted in greater reports of risky sex when risk perception was low. Conversely, men's HIV knowledge translated into greater reports of risky sex when risk perception was high. Conclusions: Although preliminary, this study calls for nuanced models of risky sex and the inclusion of risk perception modules in HIV reduction programs.     

Advocacy Tactics and Policy Outcomes of Sex Offender Rights Organizations

Social movement organizations for sex offender rights work to reduce harm to registrants and their family members by influencing sex offender registration and community notification policies. This study draws on two theories of social movement organizations—organizational emergence and political opportunities—to investigate the capacity (i.e., structure, resources, knowledge and skills) of these organizations to bring about policy changes. Data were gathered using in-depth, telephone interviews with 19 leaders of state-level advocacy organizations in the United States. Two types of strategies emerged, distinguishing organizations as proactive or reactive in their approach to policy change. Proactive organizations contribute to policy amendment, development or adoption, whereas reactive organizations focus on blocking policy. These two types of organizations have similar tactical repertoires; however, more proactive organizations report the use of networking and coalition building and media stories, and more reactive organizations report the use of legislative testimony and research and policy analysis tactics. This study informs social work policy and practice by highlighting effective and ineffective tactics used by highly stigmatized advocacy organizations.     

Prostitution Ideology and Trafficking Policy: The Impact of Political Approaches to Domestic Sex Work on Human Trafficking Policy in Australia and the United States

Debates over the legitimacy and legality of prostitution have characterized human trafficking discourse for the last two decades. This article identifies the extent to which competing perspectives concerning the legitimacy of prostitution have influenced anti-trafficking policy in Australia and the United States and argues that each nation-state’s approach to domestic sex work has influenced trafficking legislation. The legal status of prostitution in each country and feminist influences on prostitution law reform have had a significant impact on the nature of the legislation adopted.     

中国南方少数民族巫蛊文化中的性爱主题

由于受认识能力的限制和生存环境的影响,在南方少数民族的观念中普遍存在着有关巫蛊的信仰,很多人幻想着通过巫术使异性受到诱惑。这种性爱巫术的表现形式多种多样,而用符咒和某些动植物配置的爱药来激发所恋之人的性爱、性欲和性力则是此种巫术常见的形式。由性爱巫术引申出来的有关“蛊”的迷信思想始终影响着人们的性观念和婚姻关系。     

论中国现代民俗学先驱者的性人类学研究

在中国现代民俗学的开创阶段,人类学的发展远赶不上民俗学。性人类学研究的推动者首先是一些知名的民俗学家,而不是人类学家。总的说来,中国早期的性人类学研究深深地打上了民俗学的烙印。先驱者们的性人类学研究虽处于起步阶段,但却给刚刚引入中国的人类学的本土化发展留下了宝贵的一页。当时的性人类学研究受传统道德观念的束缚很深,甚至还有人为此付出了惨重的代价。     

社会性别视角下的农村妇女参政研究

我国经历了漫长的以等级次序为准则的封建社会,男女性别及地位差异在"夫为妻纲"的规范之下愈益强化.这一突出的社会性别文化给妇女尤其是农村妇女的政治参与带来了严重的阻碍.应该通过构建以男女平等为核心的先进性别文化来不断提高农村妇女的政治参与水平.     

竞合论视域下帮助信息网络犯罪活动罪的处罚界限

帮助信息网络犯罪活动罪司法适用的急剧扩张,反映了其入罪标准的模糊和竞合处断的混乱。该罪法律性质为帮助行为正犯化,同时具有独立性限度。应从因果关系归责的实体因应和追究犯罪的程序困境纾解把握其立法意旨,立足规制对象的类型化、处罚范围的有限性和法益保护的必要性,合理设定入罪门槛。可将信息网络帮助行为类型化,并以中立帮助行为理论限制其处罚范围,进而转向竞合考察,以“深度参与性”标准来区分帮信罪与共犯,且遵循法条竞合择一重处断原则。基于帮信罪的独立性质和法益保护范畴,其可与“掩饰、隐瞒犯罪所得、犯罪所得收益罪”成立想象竞合。通过信息网络犯罪帮助行为阶梯式分流模式,可以厘清帮信罪罪与非罪、此罪与彼罪的界限,从而科学限定其成立范围,实现理论与实践的良性互动。

缥缈孤渺影——“水原型”与张爱玲文本性别价值

我们的文化语境一直存在着性别盲点 ,尤其从原型文化视域观照性别历史传统及其经验时 ,女性自觉意义上体认的性别意识 ,是一种神话性质的虚假与苍白 ,张爱玲及其创作较早地剖露了这一文化现象
