Abstract: Society prescribes a set model of heterosexual development toward
a gender and sexual identity. Individuals with gender and sexual
identities that do not conform to the prescribed heterosexual
identities must essentially develop their own way, that is, they must
privately negotiate their path through identity development and
identity adoption. However, while negotiating their private reality,
they must rely on existing concepts of other. Using a social constructionist
framework, we explore the private negotiation of an
individual who does not conform to the socially prescribed gender
and sexual identities—a transgender lesbian. Based on this
interview, we suggest that the model of traditional heteronormative
gender socialization to sexual identity would need to be revised.
