Bullying and the power of the sex/gender/sexuality system [Video]



This video depicts a young (heterosexual) girl, Ashley, and her family as they try to navigate a social world that is homonormative.  Intended to challenge heterosexism and heteronormativity, the video captures peer and parental socialization and the policing of sexuality and gender.  [Trigger warning: The story is deeply troubling as the girl is bullied at school and sanctioned by her parents, ultimately committing suicide.]
