Transgender Persons' Perspectives on Gender Transition
Svobodová, Marie ; Hrešanová, Ema (advisor) ; Tučková, Anna (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the topic of gender transition from the transgender perspective. In the Czech Republic gender transition is under the thumb of sociology. The aim of this thesis is to find out what is the relation between the perspective of sexology and the experience of people who are undergoing gender transition and identify as transgender. Special attention is paid to embodiment as an important aspect of gender transition. In addition, the thesis deals with the opinions of transgender people regarding the process of gender transition. This thesis is qualitative, and it's based on biographic interviews with transgender individuals. The main discovery is that the transgender embodiment proves to be quite diverse and complex. How transgender individuals regard their bodies depends not only on their personal perception of self, but also on social conditions. Therefore, the unanimous narrative sexology puts through seems to be inaccurate and not inclusive enough of all trans experiences. This was affirmed by the transgender people themselves who were critical towards the transgender perspective and the system of gender transition in the Czech Republic.
