This thesis focuses on homosexual-oriented girls undergoing reformatory education and their search for gender identity. The methodology of phenomenology is exerted, gathering data through semi-structural and in-depth interviews, with seven homosexual-oriented girls in reformatory education as the interviewees. Their opinions are gleaned through the six phases of thematic analysis; each interviewee in turn takes on the role of the subject under analysis, and undergoes the process of construction, deconstruction and reconstruction, in which seven themes are defined: (1) childhood experiences, (2) interpersonal experiences, (3) correlation between deviant behavior and sexual orientation, (4) formation process of sexual orientation, (5) things to consider when coming out of the closet, (6) self-attitude when searching for one's gender identity. These themes show the girls' experiences in their search of gender identity and the formation of their homosexual orientation. The result of the analysis shows that factors such as an unsettled childhood, interpersonal alienation, and deviant behaviors do not directly contribute to the formation of a person's sexual orientation. The uncertainty of one's gender identity, the exaggeration of one's gender role and the coming out are common ways to express one's sexual orientation and to affirm one's gender identity. Reformatory education for girls probation bias mechanism is important. Lastly, the thesis offers suggestions to human entity, family, education, reformatory education, society, media, and future researches. |
