Non-binary identities in a cisheteronormalized world
Main Article Content
Abstract
What is non-binary identity? Nowadays, it is increasingly common to come across words, meanings and identities that we do not know or do not understand what they refer to. Therefore, this research presents the results of a series of 3 in-depth qualitative interviews conducted with non-binary people in Mexico City in April 2022, who reflect on their identity and experiences in a society that questions and denies their feelings. For this purpose, a qualitative methodology was proposed that used a bricolage technique that included the codification of meaning and interpretation of meanings based on the processes of constitution of subjectivity and culturally inscribed gender identity.
