Gender and sexuality in the political experience of young people in Italy
Abstract
This contribution aims to intersect youth and gender studies, in order to place the dimensions of body and sexuality at the centre of the discourse on transition to adulthood. These dimensions, often obscured by these studies, are instead strategic in the understanding of the embodied experiences that question the binary (and cis-hetero) norm, and so expanding the meanings associated with being and becoming an adult today. The chapter is based on longitudinal interviews (two waves) with girls, LGBTQI+ people and people who question the normative dimensions of categories such as gender, body, and sexuality, thanks to their lived experiences. In the current phase of uncertainty and structural crisis, the goal is to make room for the analysis of life paths traditionally left on the margins of the sociological gaze on transition, by showing how they carry meanings and perspectives that open up spaces of liveability and gendered citizenship.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
