Abstract
LGBTQ+ affairs professionals are often marginalized in their work and identities and therefore develop strategies to resist this continued marginalization. Using a critical conceptual framework, the traditionally heterogendered institution (THI), we show how LGBTQ+ affairs staff resist bureaucratic systems in their praxis to center LGBTQ+ (and other minoritized) identities on their campuses and how administrators who supervise LGBTQ+ affairs professionals might improve their praxes and better support LGBTQ+ affairs professionals.
Notes
1 The term “heterogender” signals that we understand gender and sexuality to be co-constituted. That is, heterogender connects “institutionalized heterosexuality with the gendered division of labor and the patriarchal relations of production” (Ingraham, Citation1996, p. 204). We understand that assumptions about individuals’ sexualities will always be in congruence with assumptions about individuals’ genders.
