dc.description.abstractThis research studies Oklahoma-educated, non-binary university students as sources of information about gender identity and diversity messaging in Oklahoma public schools and its impacts. It is the assumption of this research, based on the background of the researcher and supporting literature, that Oklahoma students may not have been given enough information about gender identity and diversity in public high schools between 2006 and 2010. Through a qualitative phenomenological research design, interviews were conducted on a sample of this population. This study highlights and discusses six major themes: the effects of hidden curriculum, shared experiences of mental health issues, an inability to come out of the closet, impacts of gender-exclusive school climates, discouraged authenticity of identity, and perpetuation of gender-based violence. Sex health education programs should use these themes as guidance to aid in creation of gender-inclusive programs in the future.en_US
