Abstract
The building up of gender learning and self-gender concept is a crucial learning process of human lifetime. Once we start self-thinking and re-understanding ourselves building up of gender, we start identifying ourselves. Gender identification would construct self-identification and this complex identification can also reflect the mutual relationship between psychological orientation and social orientation. In recent years, gender researchers have attempted to find the possibility of development of how teenagers choose and make their gender strategies from their gender identification, the experience of social interaction, school education and doing gender. Especially, aboriginal teenagers, who are placed in an extremely marginal and invisible position, are gender vulnerable groups. Making these invisible things to be seen is the original intention of social research and the catalyst of writing this dissertation. Based on a junior school class, which is composed of various aboriginal races, in southern Taiwan, this dissertation is going to discuss how encounters in the class, school, peer societies, intimate relationship, their families and their tribes shape sexual minorities’ experience in building up the interrelationship between gender learning with gender identification and identification within themselves. Then, this dissertation is going to discuss the different strategies of doing gender of these vulnerable students within different fields. Consequently, the dissertation found that the internal safety of “space”, cohesiveness and the friendly degree of sexuality would affect the degree of learning gender and gender identification. Moreover, these aboriginal teenagers would take different gender strategies varying from degree of safety and identification. Thus, they may behave unkindly or moderately. At the same time, they may perform themselves artificially or wildly depending on different places. The social rules, the building up of relationship, the cohesion within the community and the degree of identification would highly impact the gender performance strategies of these aboriginal sexual vulnerable teenagers. Besides, the interior of the space, language, writing, common agreement and the interaction with others would definitely influence teenagers’ internal gender identification. Therefore, this would bring out a social interaction of intersectionality. Then, in the field of teenager learning and sexual sociology, the dissertation would attempt to explore into the possibility of making this vulnerable group to be visible.
