Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Houston, 2002.

This paper examines how a specific cohort of adolescent lesbians view themselves as different from heterosexual adolescent young women, and the role that this sense of difference played in the process of self-labeling as lesbian. A critical qualitative study adapting life story methodology provided me with an opportunity to examine the construction of this sense of difference and the possible socio-cultural meanings of that difference.

520 $a This paper examines how a specific cohort of adolescent lesbians view themselves as different from heterosexual adolescent young women, and the role that this sense of difference played in the process of self-labeling as lesbian. A critical qualitative study adapting life story methodology provided me with an opportunity to examine the construction of this sense of difference and the possible socio-cultural meanings of that difference.
520 $a Through the heterogendered matrix, activities and girls' identities become coconstructed such that particular activities take on a gendered interpretation dialectically dependent upon dominantly gendered discourse. "Doing" becomes male while "sitting" and "watching" (as opposed to doing), becomes female. Difference was, for my participants, experienced not through simple association with "active" or "passive," but association with what is "male" and what is "female." These young women understand themselves to be outside such gendered expectations and this seems to have had a greater impact on self-labeling as lesbian than sexual interest. In other words, lesbian, for my participants, is a social category constructed as a gender orientation, rather than a sexual orientation, with the central element of that gender being agency.
520 $a Because most research on homosexual identity development begins with a sense of difference while failing to explore the construction of that difference. This research produced a detailed understanding of the sense of difference constructed through the life stories of these young women without either prescribing or presuming that difference and its origins. Such findings are important because by getting underneath the sense of difference described by the informants, the ascription of difference to sexuality is more deeply explored and its roots in gender difference are revealed.
