| Description |
The following Master of Professional Communication autoethnography explores the various types of communication used between mother and child through the gender transition process. |
| Abstract |
This autoethnography looks at the different types of communication used between mother and child through the gender transition process. It looks at three areas of communication, namely intrapersonal communication and the impact journaling and imagined interaction theory has on how we communicate with ourselves; interpersonal communication and the role self-concepts and cognitive dissonance have on how we communicate with others; and gender communication, using gender schema theory and queer performative theory to help navigate and understand the ways in which gender informs our communication style with others and ourselves. |
