Stigma, Surgery and Social Identity: Attitudes towards Cosmetic and Sexual Reassignment Surgeries

Mayeux, Cheryl 15 May 2009 (has links)
This thesis uses a combination of vignettes and interviews to explore social approval of cosmetic and sexual reassignment surgeries as a means of studying sex and gender in contemporary society. It draws from poststructuralist, queer, symbolic interactionist and intersectionality theories. This study found that social approval was higher for normative surgeries than for non-normative surgeries. The main themes that emerged in regard to social approval were respondents‘ religious beliefs, their social distance from a person undergoing surgery, their concerns with possible risks or complications, and their views on an individual‘s right to control their own body. Underlying the vast majority of the responses was an essentialist view of sex that influenced how participants‘ viewed the various surgeries.

Estudo de seguimento de cirurgia de redesignação sexual em transexuais masculino para feminino

Salvador, Jaqueline January 2014 (has links)
A presente dissertação tem como objetivo investigar o impacto da cirurgia de redesignação sexual em quatro dimensões da vida de transexuais masculino para feminino que foram acompanhados no PROTIG em um seguimento de dois anos póscirúrgico. Foi avaliada a satisfação em relação à cirurgia de redesignação sexual, as relações sexuais, as relações com parceiros e os relacionamentos familiares. Os sujeitos deste estudo foram entrevistados pela equipe do PROTIG. Participaram deste estudo 52 transexuais MpF que realizaram a cirurgia entre 2000 e 2008 (média 3,8 ± 1,7 anos póscirúrgico) e que responderam a um questionário estruturado, antes e depois da cirurgia. Os resultados encontrados evidenciaram que nenhum paciente se arrependeu de submeter-se ao procedimento cirúrgico de redesignação sexual. Após a cirurgia, a maioria dos pacientes (88,61%) referiu que as relações sexuais haviam melhorado. O sexo com a neovagina foi considerado agradável para 88,46% dos pacientes e 78,84% referiram que manter e/ou iniciar um relacionamento tornou-se mais fácil após a cirurgia. O número de pacientes com parceiro aumentou de 51,93% para 65,38%. Não ocorreram relatos de prejuízo nas relações com os membros da família após a cirurgia de redesignação sexual e 29 participantes (56,77%) relataram melhoria nas relações familiares, enquanto 23 (44,23%) não relataram diferença. / This thesis aims to investigate the impact of sex reassignment surgery in four dimensions of life of male to female transsexuals who were follow up by PROTIG after two postoperative years. Satisfaction in relation to sex reassignment surgery, sex, relationships with partners and family relationships was assessed. The study subjects were interviewed by the PROTIG team. The study included 52 MPF transsexuals who underwent surgery between 2000 and 2008 (mean 3.8 ± 1.7 years post surgery) who responded to a structured questionnaire before and after surgery. The results showed that no patient regretted to undergo sex reassignment surgery. After surgery, most patients (88.61%) reported that sexual relations had improved. Sex with the neovagina was considered enjoyable for 88.46% and 78.84% of patients reported that maintain and / or start a relationship has become easier after surgery. The number of patients with partners increased from 51.93% to 65.38%. There were no reports of damage in relations with family members after sex reassignment surgery and 29 participants (56.77%) reported improvement in family relationships, while 23 (44.23%) reported no difference.

"You know a girl when you see one": experiences of surgeons who perform gender/affirmation/reassignment surgery

Christian, Robert 22 January 2016 (has links)
Most recent research on gender affirmation/reassignment surgery focuses on discrimination and health disparities faced by the transgender community, and on perspectives and identity constructions of patients transitioning from one gender presentation to another. However, few studies address perspectives and experiences of the surgeons performing these operations. This exploratory study examines narratives of some of these surgeons in order to understand how they entered this particular practice, and how they perceive and classify these procedures. This study also aims to show the affect these procedures have on these surgeons and their discipline, and how these surgeons navigate the complex relationships between patients, healthcare providers, and surgeons, in the context of social values and popular media perspectives in the United States.

FTM Trans Theory VS. Trans Narratives : Working Towards an Updated Trans Theory

Nelson, Emily January 2011 (has links)
Theories are tools with which we critically analyze society‟s structure and understand experiences that are not our own. When theories no longer describe the narratives that they claim, we must update them. This thesis proposes to do just that. The trans theories of J. Halberstam and Jay Prosser will be analyzed using ten autobiographies written by self-identified FTM transsexuals and transmen. Prosser and Halberstam are two well-known theorists in the field of trans theory. J. Halberstam approaches FTM transsexuality from the perspective of a lesbian feminist, who has an understanding of transgender butch individuals. Jay Prosser writes from the perspective of being a FTM transsexual himself. I chose publications by these theorists because they had sections that focused specifically on FTM narratives, and they both used at least two of the autobiographies I use and they were published the same year. Therefore, I found them to be two theoretical frameworks that could be compared on several different levels. The publication dates of the ten narratives range from the 1970s to the early 2000s. Applicability of the theories will be measured by comparing them to what the autobiographers say about their lives. The tool of analysis will be five focus areas that are represented, to some degree, in each narrative. They are: Trying to fit into female roll/body/world; Discovering one is Trans/Coming Out; Acquiring Hormones and Sexual Reassignment Surgery; Trying to Establish/Re-establish a Confident Identity; and Romantic/Sexual Relationships.. I will discuss how helpful each theory is in accordance with these narratives. The aim of this thesis is to assess how well each theorist addresses the issue of transsexual identity. The field of transsexual research is still new and developing, there are many interesting parts of these narratives that can be delved into further. I will conclude by proposing a new trans theoretical view point that would better help one to understand the process of female-to-male transition. What one should take away from this thesis is that despite differences in sex and gender formation, these people are, like the rest of the world, trying to create an identity that they not only feel comfortable with as a representation of themselves, but also one that they can be proud of.
