Exploring the Impact of Single-Gender Spaces on Gender Diversity and Inclusion
As part of my Year 12 Society and Culture coursework, I am conducting research on the growing segmentation of homosocial environments—spaces traditionally designated for one gender—and how this trend influences the inclusion of gender-diverse individuals.
The focus of this study is to understand whether single-gender settings, such as sports teams, youth organizations, religious groups, and other communal spaces, contribute to or hinder the participation and acceptance of people with diverse gender identities. Your insights are invaluable to shed light on this important social issue.
Participation is open to individuals from all backgrounds. Rest assured, the survey is confidential; no personal identifiers like names or emails are collected. It includes questions about gender identity, age, and country, to help analyze diverse perspectives.
If you are involved in or have experience with single-gender groups—whether through sports, community organizations, religious activities, or similar—your input would greatly benefit this project. I especially encourage gender-diverse, transgender, or non-binary individuals to share their experiences, as responses from these groups are currently limited.
Your contribution is highly appreciated, and I’m also happy to reciprocate—whether that’s completing a survey you’re working on, answering questions, or providing advice about researching or developing projects related to society and culture during high school.
Thank you for supporting this exploration into how segregated environments impact inclusion. Your insights can help foster a more understanding and inclusive society.
