Locker rooms operate as pivotal access points to physical activity across sports, physical education, and fitness facilities. However, locker rooms are predicated on cis-heterosexual assumptions that can be isolating to LGBTQ+ individuals. Using an online cross-sectional survey, LGBTQ+ adults (N = 1,067) were asked open-response questions about their past and present locker-room experiences. The resulting texts were independently coded by two researchers using thematic analysis and compared. All discrepancies were discussed with and rectified by a third researcher who acted as a critical peer. The results present distinct experiences across three intersecting aspects of embodiment: self-conscious-"I hate(d) being seen," sexual transgression, and gender transgression. The findings provide insight into how harmful LGBTQ+ stereotypes influence locker-room experiences and support the redesign of locker rooms to challenge the binary organization of these spaces.
更衣室是体育、体育教育和健身设施中开展体育活动的关键入口。然而，更衣室基于异性恋的假设，这可能会让 LGBTQ+ 群体感到孤立。通过一项在线横断面调查，研究人员向 1067 名 LGBTQ+ 成年人提出了关于他们过去和现在更衣室经历的开放式问题。两位研究人员使用主题分析法对所得文本进行独立编码并比较。所有差异都由第三位担任关键同行的研究人员进行讨论并纠正。研究结果呈现了在身体体现的三个交叉方面的不同经历：自我意识——“我讨厌被人看到”、性越界和性别越界。这些发现深入了解了有害的 LGBTQ+ 刻板印象如何影响更衣室体验，并支持对更衣室进行重新设计，以挑战这些空间的二元结构。
