Sexual citizenship and Asian immigrants in post-marriage equality Australia

ABSTRACT To date, few studies on sexual citizenship have explored how gender, sexuality, and ethnicity intersect to influence individuals’ migration and post-migration experiences in post-marriage equality Australia. This article argues that a more expansive concept of sexual citizenship is required when exploring the lived experiences of Asian immigrants in contemporary Australia because racialised contexts present various barriers to social inclusion. We posit sexual citizenship as an intersectional, multi-dimensional, and multi-scalar notion that encompasses transgender citizenship. We explore sociocultural stereotypes and sexual racism to highlight the intersectionality between SOGIESC and ethnicity in cross-cultural international migration. We further argue that, as SOGIESC is an integral dimension of immigrants’ lives and cannot be analytically separated from migratory processes and experiences, the concept of sexual citizenship remains central to migration studies. Furthermore, that sexual citizenship research would benefit from further critical engagement with issues of race, gender, sexuality, and immigration status of Asian Australians.

Sexual citizenship and lifetime sexual assault: exploring the risks for sexual minority women with a physical limitation

This exploratory study examines how the intersection of physical impairment, sexual minority status, and gender affects lifetime sexual assault. Persons with a physical disability, sexual minorities, and women all experience high rates of sexual assault. However, the intersection of these identities is rarely studied. The author draws on the concept of sexual citizenship to contextualize how vulnerability affects populations with multiple marginalized identities. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health Wave 4, analysis showed that both physical limitation and sexual minority status were positively correlated with higher risks of lifetime sexual assault in Binary Logistic Regression. Predicted probabilities derived from analysis indicated that sexual minority status had a larger effect than physical limitation on lifetime sexual assault, but sexual minority women with a physical limitation had the highest risk of having experienced sexual assault.

Book Review: Diane Richardson, Sexuality and Citizenship

The book is a culmination of Diane Richardson’s numerous examinations over the years on sexuality and citizenship and it offers a critical analysis of the concept of ‘sexual citizenship’ (p. 2). In seven chapters divided into two key sections, the book provides a persuasive and easy to read analysis on the sexual citizenship literature and how it has evolved over time, but also the limitations of sexual citizenship within the Euro-North American historical configuration (p. 49). The conceptual analysis offers a social, cultural, economic and political exposition on the concept of sexual citizenship and brings forward the complex linkages of undeviating issues relating to sexuality, gender and citizenship.

Sexual citizenship in a comparative perspective: Dilemmas and insights

In this article, the author explores some of the key dilemmas that are involved in attempts to apply concepts such as ‘sexual citizenship’ in a cross-cultural perspective, with particular focus on Australia and other countries in the Asia-Pacific region. The concept of sexual citizenship can usefully be applied to gay and lesbian rights issues in Australia relatively easily. However, it is not quite so easy to apply this concept to some of Australia’s Asian neighbours. Any comparative analysis needs to take differing priorities, conceptions of sexuality, gender, identity, rights, state and civil society into account but, nonetheless, useful insights can be gained. The author argues that the concept of sexual citizenship is even more widely applicable if aspects of other conceptions of citizenship are incorporated into it, such as conceptions of ‘heteronormative’ citizenship and ‘affective’ citizenship.

Law, rights, space and sexual citizenship in South Africa

This article considers the legal and spatial dimensions of urban sexual citizenship in South Africa. It reflects upon the manner in which legal and spatial regulation of sex evokes the private/public dichotomy and upholds an essentially heteronormative conception of sexual citizenship, before evaluating rights-based strategies that have thus far been employed in attempts to resist this. Thereafter, it argues for amalgamating these strategies under an extended notion of the right to the city that, it contends, is capable of fostering a more inclusive concept of sexual citizenship.

Race, class, gender and sexuality — challenges for an inclusive citizenship1

This article explores the contribution of Jacklyn Cock' s work on child care and the working mother in relation to both the process of research and the content. It identifies the challenges to capturing the specificity of women' s subordination in the context of predominant concerns with class and race discrimination in the early 1980s. The paper argues that subsequent gains in rights of women and sexual minorities, amongst others, were made as a result of a paradigm of inclusive citizenship. However, in the past-apartheid period, this paradigm has been severely tested as people living with HIV/AIDS and other minorities have had to take up their own struggles in the absence of a public national commitment that values people with all their differences and guarantees them the benefits of citizenship, including access to resources, social recognition and political representation. It uses the concept of sexual citizenship to identify ways in which diverse minorities and marginalized groups share common cause and proposes that these may provide the basis for alliances to build an alternative vision of citizenship that continues to give priority to addressing paverty while bUilding a more inclusive notion of social justice.

Locating and Linking Sexuality in Development and Human Rights

This paper argues that there are two opposing tendencies in relation to sexuality in the health, development and rights fields. The first is to deny the role of sexuality in shaping the institutional and social fabric of society; the second is to explain all experience and subordination through the lens of sexual identity. This paper uses the concept of sexual citizenship to identify diverse ways in which sexuality shapes access to resources, recognition and representation. It illustrates how other sources of subordination such as race, ethnicity and class intersect with sexuality, creating potential for alliances between diverse issue-based and identity-based social movements for policy change.
