Transsexuality
ŠTANGLOVÁ, Jitka
The bachelor thesis is focused on the description of the life path of transsexual men from their childhood, through the change of sex, to the reaction of the neighbourhood to their new identity. The research was also attended by family members and close friends of transsexuals, who supplement their research with their views on gender conversion. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with the definition of terms from the field of transsexuality, which are sex, gender and gender identity. Subsequently, the thesis deals with the classification of gender identity disorders, the history and etiology of transgender. Then, a detailed description of the individual stages of sex conversion follows and in the final part, the work deals with the representation of transsexual individuals in the population. The empirical part describes the life of transsexual men in the areas of childhood and adolescence, the first consciousness, the course of gender conversion and the reaction of the neighbourhood to their new identity. The research is enriched by the statements of the family and close friends who comment on the sex change of the respondents. A total of 5 people participated in the research, and in-depth interviews were conducted and narrative analysis was chosen as a research method.
