Hitta rätt : En studie om icke-binära transpersoners identitetsskapande genom orden / Finding what is right : A study of non-binary transgender people and their construction of identity through words

Pless, Anna January 2015 (has links)
The aim of this master thesis in Ethnology and Folkloristics is to study how non-binary transgender people relate to words and identity positions which concerns primarily gender and sexuality. What are their opinions on words such as intergender, queer, trans, man, woman, lesbian and gay? What role do such words play in their everyday life and in the construction of their identities? The study is based on interviews with eight people. Six of the informants have non-binary gender identities and two of them are transgender women with some non-binary experiences. At the time of the interviews, the informants were between 21 and 37 years old. The thesis consists of five chapters, whereof the first chapter introduces the topic, the material and the theoretical foundation of the thesis. The main theoretical framework for this study is queer theories. In the second chapter, some aspects of the everyday life of the informants are presented. How is it to live with a non-binary gender identity? Many informants give an account of the complications which occur because they are neither women nor men. People of the majority population often consider their identities unreal and unintelligible. In chapter three it is discussed how the informants explain their relationship to different words for non-binary gender identities. Their reasons for choosing to use certain words to define themselves with are also presented. Some informants claim that they would prefer to live in a world where they did not have to name themselves. Yet every informant still uses different words to describe themselves with. In chapter four it is demonstrated how choosing a word for one’s identity is a process affected by other aspects in a person’s life. The informants decide on a word for themselves depending on the people around them. Furthermore, sexuality and sexual identity also play a big part in how they conceive and name their gender identity. Finally, chapter five consists of a summary of the thesis and a short passage to widen the discussion

Hur upplever transpersoner utmaningar i relation till sin identitet och vad kan främja att identiteten får blomstra?

Berglund, Tim, Eneroth, Johanna January 2021 (has links)
Bakgrund: Omedveten/medveten diskriminering av transpersoner framläggs som ett problem i människovårdande yrken av Diskrimineringsombudsmannen (DO). Tidigare forskning styrker problematiska faktorer som påverkar välbefinnandet hos målgruppen. Syfte: Syftet var att utgå från transpersonernas egna uttalanden för att få syn på sociala och/eller psykosociala faktorer som utifrån dem är relevanta för identiteten. Utforskandet av faktorer i transidentiteten skulle kunna ge oss möjlighet att dra slutsatser om vad som kan förebygga diskriminering i det professionella bemötandet som socialarbetare. Metod: Dokumentärfilmer som empiri med en samskapelse mellan journalist och transperson gav oss kodning av transidentiteten. Innehållsanalys tillämpades för att tolka fram teman i utsagorna från dokumentärerna. Resultat: Vi fann två domäner som fångade in identitetsutmaningar och identitetsfrämjande faktorer som inverkar på transpersonernas livstillfredställelse och som också påverkar deras upplevelser av konflikter mellan identiteten och sociala normer. Slutsats: Vi såg att det finns ett könsdikotomt sätt att bemöta transpersoner på som gör att de påverkas negativt. Stöd från anhöriga och gemenskap är bidragande faktorer för transpersoners livstillfredställelse. Framtida studier bör fokusera på att finna fler bidragande faktorer eftersom dessa ger ledtrådar till professionellt bemötande som förebygger diskriminering. / Background: Unconscious and conscious discrimination of transgender people is presented as a problem in human care professions by Discrimination Ombudsmannen (DO). Previous research proves problematic factors that affect the well-being of the target group. Purpose: To use the transgender people's own statements and thereby see factors relevant to their identity. The exploration of social and / or psychosocial factors gave us the opportunity to draw conclusions about what can prevent discrimination in the professional treatment as a social worker. Method: Documentaries with a co-creation between journalist and transgender person gave us coding of trans identity. Content analysis was applied to interpret themes in the statements from the documentaries. Results: We identified two domains that capture identity-challenging and identity-promoting factors that affect transgender people's state of life. These factors also affect the transgender individuals’ experiences of conflicts between their own identity and social norms. Conclusion: There is a gender dichotomous way of dealing with transgender people that causes them to be negatively affected. Support from relatives and the community are contributing factors to the living conditions of trans people. Future studies should focus on finding more contributing factors as these provide clues to professional treatment that prevents discrimination.
