O desafio da equidade e da integralidade : travestilidades e transexualidades no sistema único de saúde

Guaranha, Camila January 2014 (has links)
Esta pesquisa teve por objetivo compreender como se materializa, no cotidiano, o acesso e o consumo de ações e serviços de saúde para travestis e pessoas transexuais no Sistema Único de Saúde, considerando os programas e as políticas de saúde existentes e os desafios que as travestilidades e transexualidades representam para essas. A partir de uma abordagem etnográfica, e utilizando os conceitos da saúde coletiva e do campo das relações de gênero e sexualidade, articulando-os às questões interseccionais, foram analisados os relatos de travestis e pessoas transexuais em relação ao acesso e à utilização dos serviços de saúde no SUS. Foram analisadas ainda as concepções que embasam a formulação das políticas de saúde direcionadas à população de travestis e transexuais no SUS, bem como as práticas dos/as trabalhadores/as em relação a esse grupo populacional. A partir do estudo, ficou evidente que as trajetórias de travestis e transexuais nos serviços de saúde costumam ser marcadas por situações de preconceito e discriminação, fatos que expressam o elevado grau de transfobia presente nos estabelecimentos de saúde. Além disso, percebeu-se que as ações em saúde destinadas para essa população, contempladas em programas e políticas de saúde – tais como o uso do nome social e a ampliação do Processo Transexualizador – ainda carecem de institucionalidade. Também verificamos que as ações em saúde para esse grupo têm sido priorizadas no âmbito da atenção especializada (nos níveis ambulatorial e hospitalar), sendo poucos os investimentos com relação à atenção básica. Por fim, percebemos que, para a efetivação dos programas e das políticas de saúde – os quais se dão a partir do encontro entre os/as usuários/as e os/as trabalhadores/as – é fundamental investir na formação destes/as últimos/as, para que o acesso às ações em saúde se dê de forma acolhedora e humanizada. / The main goal of this article is to have a better understanding on how the policies of health care are being used and how they have been taking place on a daily basis for transsexual, transgender, and transvestite people considering the existing health care policies and the many challenges that transvestism and/or transsexualism/transgenderism represents to them. From an ethnographic approach, and using concepts from the fields of public health and sex and gender relations, articulating those concepts with intersectional issues, portraits of transvestites and transsexual/transgender people were analyzed regarding their access and use of the services provided by SUS (Sistema Único de Saúde), the Brazilian universal health care system. Also, the conceiving ideas that promote health care policies for transvestites and transsexual/transgender people at SUS were analyzed, as well as the practices adopted by the workers of health care providers towards this population. From this study, it became evident that transvestites and transgender/transsexual people's path in the health care system in Brazil (SUS) is marked by discrimination and prejudice, facts that express the high levels of institutionalized transphobia present in the health care service providers. Moreover, it was noticed that the health care action programs intended for the trans population, promoted by health care policies, such as the use of the social name and the expanding of the transsexual procedures, are still in need of institutionalization. It was also verified that the health action programs for the transvestite/transsexual/transgender population have been prioritized only at the specialized care level (clinic and hospital levels), but few investment has been made at primary care level. At last, it was noticed that the accomplishment of the programs and health care policies happen from the encounter between the users and the providers, being of bottom line importance the last group to have training, so that the access to health care be welcoming and humanized.

Defining Sex and Gender in Law, Politics, and Science

January 2013 (has links)
abstract: Gender and sex are often conflated. Our laws, policies, and even science establish sex and gender as intrinsically linked and dimorphic in nature. This dissertation examines the relationship between sex and gender and the repercussions of this linked dimorphism in the realms of law, politics, and science. Chapter One identifies the legal climate for changing one's sexual identity post-surgical reassignment. It pays particular attention to the ability of postsurgical transsexuals to marry in their acquired sex. Chapter Two considers the process for identifying the sex of athletes for the purposes of participation in sex-segregated athletic events, specifically the role of testing and standards for categorization. Chapter Three explores the process of identifying and assigning the sex of intersex children. Chapter Four examines the process of prenatal sex selection and its ethical implications. Chapter Four also offers an anticipatory governance framework to address these implications. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. Political Science 2013

Processos, desafios, tensões e criatividade nas conjugalidades de homens e mulheres transexuais

Lomando, Eduardo Marodin January 2014 (has links)
Diante das marcadas discussões sobre a diversidade sexual e de gênero no Brasil, as transexualidades têm sido foco de produções científicas e assunto recorrente da mídia. Apesar de ainda ocupar o lugar de abjeto, suas conjugalidades são exemplos de um deslocamento. O objetivo foi compreender quais são os processos que constituem essas conjugalidades transexuais e como esses são vividos nessa relação. Para se aproximar dessas respostas, essa Tese se divide em quatro artigos. No primeiro, disserta-se sobre o conceito de transexualidade em quatro áreas do conhecimento científico: biologia, medicina, psicanálise e ciências sociais. O conceito é explicado a partir de questões relacionadas à anatomia, genética, diferenças cerebrais, teoria fálico-edípica, psicopatologia, ao conceito de sexo como discursivo, de gênero como performatividade e expressão da diversidade em conflito com a heteronorma. No segundo artigo, foram revisados de forma sistemática os artigos que tratassem de demonstrar empiricamente as conjugalidades transexuais. Os aspectos relacionados às conjugalidades foram divididos nas categorias: atividade, excitação e orientação sexual; desafios sexuais dos casais; papeis de gênero e desafios do relacionamento conjugal. Houve um aumento na complexidade da conceptualização dessa diversidade conjugal. No terceiro artigo, o tema foi revisado somente em publicações nacionais e junto das travestilidades. Os resultados dos trabalhos encontrados apontam para um número variado de nomenclaturas dessas parcerias, com uma aparente fusão emocional conjugal que funciona como mantenedor das identidades de gêneros das/os participantes. Entretanto, encontra-se respostas criativas que permitem a quebra do efeito halo entre identidade de gênero e desejo sexual, conduzindo à autonomia identitária e ao prazer. No último artigo foram feitas entrevistas com três casais de homens e mulheres transexuais e seus cônjuges cisgêneros, analisadas a partir dos Estudos de Gênero (Queer e pós-estruturalistas). Os resultados demonstram que as conjugalidades transexuais descritas são mais um território que tenciona e desafia as normas de gênero e possibilita desfechos flexíveis, não direcionadas a nenhum dos extremos da heteronorma. Essa configuração específica pode possibilitar a desestabilização dessa tensão e permitir direções alternativas à lógica binária principalmente nos campos das performatividades sexuais, das divisões de tarefas cotidianas e das relações com as famílias de origem. / In view of the recent discussions about gender and sex diversity in Brazil, transsexualities have been the focus of academic development and a subject in the media. In spite of still being placed as abject, their conjugalities are an example of a displacement. The goal was to comprehend what are the constitutional processes of this transsexual conjugalities and how they are lived within these relationships. In order to come closer of these processes, this Thesis is divided in four articles. In the first one, the transsexuality concept is dissertated in four scientific knowledge areas: biology, medicine, psychoanalyses and social sciences. The concept is explained from issues regarding anatomy, genetics, brain differences, phallic-oedipal theory, psychopathology, sex as a discursive concept, gender as performative and as a diversity expression in opposition with the heteronorm. In the second article, a systematic review was done in relation to the transsexual conjugalities theme based on empirical evidence. Conjugal aspects were divided into the following categories: sexual activity, arousal and orientation; couples’ sexual challenges; gender roles and couples’ relationship challenges. There was an increase in the complexity of the conceptualization of this conjugal diversity. In the third article, the same theme was only revised in Brazilian publications, and the travestilidades theme was added. The results of the papers found show a variety of forms to denominate these partnerships, with an apparent conjugal emotional fusion that works as a maintainer the participants’ gender identities. However, there are creative responses that allow an interruption in the halo effect between gender identity and sexual desire and lead to identity autonomy and to pleasure. In the last article, three interviews were made with transsexual man and women and their cisgender partners. They were analyzed using the Gender Studies (Queer and post-structuralism studies). The results show that the transsexual conjugalities described are another territory that put into tension and defy gender norms and make flexible outcomes possible, not directed to any of the heteronorm extremes. This specific configuration may destabilize this tension and enable alternative directions to the binary logic mainly in the fields of sexual performativities, household tasks sharing and the relationship with family of origins.

Nomes e diferenças: uma etnografia dos usos das categorias travesti e transexual / Names and differences: an ethnography of the uses of categories transvestite ans transsexual

Bruno Cesar Barbosa 22 February 2010 (has links)
O objetivo deste trabalho é discutir os usos das categorias travesti e transexual, referidas a identidades sexuais e de gênero, com base em observações e entrevistas realizadas entre 2008 e 2009 com participantes das reuniões denominadas Terças Trans, que ocorrem quinzenalmente no Centro de Referência em Diversidade (CRD) um equipamento social direcionado para LGBT na cidade de São Paulo. Procurei explorar duas frentes de análise. A primeira concentrou-se nos resultados de observação das interações e debates entre os participantes, durante as reuniões, especialmente no que diz respeito ao modo como se elaboram as diferenças entre travestis e transexuais. A segunda concentrou-se nas narrativas de história de vida de três participantes, que refletem sobre suas vivências de sexualidade e gênero. Embora as convenções do discurso médico sejam referências centrais para a definição de corpos, subjetividades e identidades das pessoas pesquisadas, foi possível observar também uma variedade de reelaborações e deslocamentos de sentidos nas trajetórias biográficas e na produção das identidades, que têm relação direta com as situações sociais vividas no presente e com os variados contextos de interlocução. Procuro desenvolver o argumento de que travesti e transexual são categorias performativas, e que tal performatividade não se esgota apenas em enunciados de gênero e sexualidade, mas também podem ser expressas por meio de articulações contingentes que remetem a diferenças de classe, cor/raça e geração. / The point of this work is to discuss the uses of the transvestite and transsexual categories, related to sexual and gender identity, based on observations and interviews conducted between 2008 and 2009 with participants of the meetings called Terças Trans, that happen fortnightly at the Centro de Referência em Diversidade (CRD), a public utility service directed to LGBT in São Paulo. I tried to explore two analysis ways. The first was focused on the observations results from the interactions and debates between the participants, during the meetings, especially with regard to how they work out differences between transvestites and trassexuals. The second was focused on the life histories narratives of three participants, who reflect on their sexuality and gender experiences. Although the conventions of medical discourse are key references for the definition of bodies, subjectivities and identity of people surveyed, it was possible to note also a variety of reelaborations and displacements of meaning in the life histories and in the identities production, that are directed related to social situations experienced in the present and with the varied contexts of dialogue. I try to develop the argument that transvestite and transsexual categories are performatives, and that this performativity is not limited only in statements of gender and sexuality, but can also be expressed by means of contingent articulation which refer to differences of class, color/race and generation.

Linjer mot lycka : En kunskapsfördjupning rörande transpersoner med ätstörningar

Åhman, Kat January 2017 (has links)
Syftet med denna uppsats är att genom att använda ett specifikt teoretiskt ramverk kunna undersöka och problematisera den stora förekomsten av transpersoner med erfarenhet av ätstörningar. Ramverket är baserat på Sara Ahmeds teorier om orientering och bygger på synen på samhället som uppbyggt av heteronormativa linjer vilka transpersoner förhåller sig till. Genom att välja ut illustrerande exempel från två antologier kretsade kring kropp och identitet har jag kunnat peka på att den press som transpersoner utsätts för i samhället leder till minskat handlingsutrymme, maktlöshet, kroppslig dysfori och assimilation. Med behovet av att reglera de känslor som uppstår samt den fysiska kroppen kan ätstörningen ses som ett verktyg med dubbel funktion. Dels för att hantera maktlösheten inför världen och återta kontroll över den kropp som någon annan definierat och begränsat. Och dels utifrån behovet av att skapa sig själv som begriplig inför sig själv och världen - för att kunna existera.

Knowledge and attitudes of preservice teachers towards students who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgendered.

Morgan, Daniel J. 12 1900 (has links)
The study used a survey design to ascertain the levels of knowledge and attitudes of special education and non-special education preservice and inservice teachers towards students with different sexual orientations. The results of this study are based on 408 responses from preservice and inservice teachers enrolled at seven institutions of higher education within North Carolina, Virginia, and the District of Columbia offering teacher training programs in regular and/or special education. Two previously developed instruments were used to measure dependent variables in this study. Koch's modified version of The Knowledge about Homosexuality Questionnaire developep by Harris, Nightengale & Owen was used to measure the dependent variable of the preservice and inservice teacher's knowledge about homosexuality. Herek's Attitudes Toward Lesbians and Gay Men (ATLG) measured the dependent variable of attitudes towards homosexuals. The study found no significant differences reported mean scores for knowledge or attitude of homosexuality among the teacher groups surveyed: (a) special education preservice teachers, (b) non-special education preservice teachers, (c) special education inservice teachers, and (d) non-special education inservice teachers. Neither gender nor age were found to be factors in measures of knowledge or attitude of preservice or inservice teachers. Receiving prior instruction in serving the needs of GLBT students, or with a focus GLBT issues, contributed to higher levels of knowledge and more positive attitudes. This research identified current levels of knowledge and attitudes of preservice and inservice teachers towards GLBT youth, and this information may help outline areas of possible changes necessary in teacher preparation programs, research, and policy.

O gênero e a ciência da saúde: produção em torno da transexualidade no Portal de pesquisa da Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde / Gender and \"science\" in health: scientific production over transsexuality on Virtual Health Library Search Portal (VHL)

Diego Sousa de Carvalho 03 November 2014 (has links)
Este trabalho se compõea partir de levantamento bibliográfico na base de dados do Portal da Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde (BVS), utilizando marcadores específicos sobre a pesquisa em transexualidade. A produção científica será discutida de forma críticano objetivo de explorar de que formas a instituição saúde no corpo teórico reflete suas práticas, sob quais perspectivas tem pensado e descrito o fenômeno da transexualidade, se no campo da doença e das técnicas de intervenção sobre esta, ou se vendo possibilidades de cuidado no campo humano, articulando argumentos do ponto de vista social. Tendo em vista que a genealogia da transexualidade está diretamente ligada à uma instituição clínica, sua instituição como categoria nosológica reflete diretamente na implantação de novos aspectos subjetivos no campo do gênero, e requer constantemente pensar como se dão as estratégias de análise do tema, e se, enquanto categoria clínica, têm se pensado mecanismos de compreensão sensíveis para além do viés patológico. / This work has been written over bibliographic revision over Virtual Health Library Search Portal (VHL) database, trough specifical book markings on transsexuality research. Scientific production will be critically discussed in order to explore which ways health institution in a theorical corpus reflects its practices, under which perspectives it has been thinking e describing the transsexuality phenomenon, if in the field of illness and the interventions over it, or seeing possibilities in human care field, articulating arguments of a social standpoint. Considering that the genealogy of transsexuality is directly linked to a clinical institution, its institution as a nosological category reflects directly on the implementation of new subjective aspects in the field of gender, and constantly it requires thinking about how are the strategies of analysis on this theme, and if, as a clinical category, sensitive mechanisms of comprehension have been thought for beyond the pathological bias.

"Det är inte jag som är könsförvirrad, utan samhället" : En kvalitativ studie om att leva som transperson i ett cis- och heteronormativt samhälle. / "I'm not the one who's gender confused, society is" : A qualitative study about living as a transgender person in a cis- and heteronormative society.

Arvidsson, Malin, Båtelsson, Jeili January 2020 (has links)
The ​aim​ of this study was to examine transgendered persons experiences of social norms andattitudes related to their gender identity. More specifically the study focused on thecisgender- and hetero norm and how these affect transgender persons transition process andtheir everyday life. The ​method​ used to collect data was by reading five autobiographicalbooks written by transgendered persons. Collected data was analyzed using queer theory andthematized into four different themes; ​The importance of passing, The environments attitudesand reactions, To be yourself or someone else ​and ​Social relationships​. The​ results ​indicatethat transgendered persons are highly affected by norms and are often victims ofdiscrimination due to their gender identity. To “pass” as either man or woman is thereforecrucial to avoid negative attitudes and harassment. The results also showed the difficulty fortransgendered persons to reveal their gender identity to society and their close ones and howdifferent reactions can either discourage or normalize the heteronormative structures thatexists in our society. The​ conclusion ​was that transgendered persons are affected bycisgendered- and heteronormative norms in both their transition process and their everydaylife. Society is categorizing people as either man or woman, and whoever doesn’t fit in thegiven gender roles is classed as deviant

Autocastration and Autopenectomy as Surgical Self-Treatment in Incarcerated Persons With Gender Identity Disorder

Brown, George R. 01 January 2010 (has links)
The author reports on a case series of four inmates who engaged in attempted or completed surgical self-treatment of their gender dysphoria via autocastration, autopenectomy, or a combination in the absence of concomitant psychosis, intoxication, or other comorbidities that could reasonably account for this rare behavior. These behaviors occurred in the context of persistent denials of access to transgender health care in prison settings. The literature on genital self-harm is also reviewed. Incarcerated persons with severe GID may resort to life-threatening surgical self-treatments when persistently denied access to psychiatric evaluation and cross-sex hormonal treatment. In all cases of surgical self-treatment (SST; i.e., autocastration with the primary intent to reduce circulating testosterone levels) the intensity of gender dysphoria decreased compared to reported baseline levels, although symptoms of GID were still present. Of the four inmates, two were able to obtain access to cross-sex hormones after successful litigation at the time of this writing; another was not. One case remains active. This case series expands the limited literature on surgical self-treatment in the form of autocastration and autopenectomy with a focus on the potential influence of incarceration with denial of access to transgender health care.
