In recognition of the fact that heterosexism is one of the most significant realities of adolescents' day-to-day experiences in school, this paper examines the school environment in terms of disempowering and empowering aspects. It is argued that failure to take a proactive stance to help youth with gender identity issues is a major cause of psychological problems, leading in some cases to suicide, alcohol and other drug abuse, and homelessness.
鉴于异性恋至上主义是青少年在学校日常经历中最显著的现实之一，本文从削弱和增强能力的方面审视了学校环境。有人认为，未能采取积极主动的立场帮助有性别认同问题的青少年是导致心理问题的主要原因，在某些情况下会导致自杀、酗酒和其他药物滥用以及无家可归。
