It integrates a qualitative study where the discourses of 10 participants are explored with the aims of “gain insights into experiences of NBGQ youth (18-25 years old) of microaggressions, and into subsequent needs, coping mechanisms and impact on their lives. The article is explicit on the fact that data cannot be generalised because of a small sample, but a more in depth analysis and a more precise description of the sample might have partly contributed to offer more general conclusions. The definition of microagressions needs as well to be specified: references are good, but the approach shifts from subjective perceptions to objective facts, symbolic violence and physical violence, etc.The Belgian context is not clearly described in respect to the issues raised in the article and more in general. This age group18-25 does include young adults, but the article doesn't make any distinction between adolescents and young adults. A doubt about the definition of adolescents (18-25) while 18-25 includes young men -the article defines adolescents between 18-25 years old. Some concepts (including the same non-binary) need to be more specified and developed. However, the overlapping of subjective and objective dimensions needs further elaboration to clarify the effective contribution of the collected data (a small sample) to further research on the topic.
This is especially original as non-binary identification is a quite new phenomenon. The article is very interesting as it deals with a very timely topic -microagressions for a specific LGBT group- non-binary gender groups- that is defined in respect to other LGBT people, opening a new field of a nlysis.
Please see attachment for response to the review report.Īuthor Response File: Author Response.docx Otherwise, I find the work most relevant and interesting to read. On line 563, an "s" missing: "identified a queer" Space missing on line 451, "expectingfor" Number 12 is not bracketted or is misplaced on line 401. Closing parenthesis missing on line 109. I have found a few minor spelling mistakes: I encourage them to amplify the study by including a wider variety of people in their subsequent research, but the article as it is is focussed and neat. I particularly value the author's self-awareness about the possible shortcomings of their investigation. The essay is very well researched, organized and presented.
