Contemporary traces of narrated pedagogies: the challenges of the maternal role in LGBTQIA+ growth pathways

Abstract

The primary objective of the essay is to delve into the significance of maternal roles in supporting their children through developmental paths that challenge traditional gender binaries. By analyzing real-life narratives, such as those of Camilla Vivian, this study aims to illuminate how mothers emerge as crucial agents of change, promoting and facilitating the social acceptance of non-conventional gender expressions. Through engaging in open dialogue and embodying an ethos of acceptance and support, mothers can actively contribute to the dismantling of rigid thought systems and advocate for a model of mindful and proactive maternity. This model commits to a future where gender diversity is fully acknowledged and esteemed.
