Abstract
In this chapter, I introduce my book, which is an analysis of how the teaching and learning of gender and sexual diversity happen in South African schools. Troubling, while threateningly broad, is used with intent to open up the silence on how heterosexuality is normalized and made compulsory in schools. Troubling is used to disrupt the prevailing assumptions and make visible the challenges that frame the teaching and learning of non-normative sexualities while highlighting the potential for rethinking our conceptions of the social and cultural representations thereof.
