Sexual diversity: the biology sexist to gender studies

Abstract

In contemporary times, we find a series of human behaviors being expressed to the world. Many of them are regarded as outside the standards imposed by an archaic and prejudiced society, mainly those related to sexuality. Human sexual diversity, within this context, gains greater visibility today, in an adversarial role that now takes the homo-affectivity within a context of breaking stereotypes, and also the question of reinforcing prejudice. In the field of Gender Studies, in the line of the Feminist Studies, we understand that movements that spread the prejudice and the discrimination of various sexual orientations need to be rethought and many of them deconstructed. Many psychological theories that still linger over end up building and maintaining prejudices based on a speech produced by a positivist science. Many of these theories focus on etiological factors of homo-affectivity, pointing to the sexual orientation as a choice, which revolves around an overprotective mother or a neglectful father. In this perspective, we need to have knowledge and understanding of the sexual diversity in addition to a vision and biologicist sexist, so that people can have their citizenship respected in all its aspects, thus contributing to the existence of a just society and full of solidarity.
