The issue of transgender.
HEBKÁ, Tereza
The thesis is divided into the theoretical and empirical part. The theoretical part deals with the definition of terms such as sex, gender, gender identity and gender role, transgender. A separate chapter then describes transsexuality as the most serious and the life of the individual most affecting form of the transgender. The chapter focuses on the theory of transsexuality, briefly introduces history, discusses the various stages of gender transformation, and finally puts transsexuality into a social context. The empirical part is then focused on mapping the life and experience of transsexual individuals during the transition. Three respondents were chosen for the research, and they were interviewed in depth narrative interviews. The IPA method was chosen as a research method. The findings suggest that transsexuals often experience an identity crisis that is perceived by their surroundings, so they are largely supported by their loved ones. They are mostly very dissatisfied with the care of experts and the media image of transsexuality.

Development and formation of women's identity from psychological point of view
Borská, Alice ; Šulová, Lenka (advisor) ; Junková, Vendula (referee)
The theme of this thesis is women's identity and a process of its development and formation. We specify theoretical basis through which it is possible to approach this subject. The theoretical part also pays attention to the process of biological differentiation of gender, to the question of a gender socialization and describes basic theoretical conceptions of development and formation of a sexual and gender identity which can be possibly found within the frame of psychology. The qualitative research enables to look at women's identity by the view of women themselves. Specific topics of an everyday lived experience appear from the analysis of interviews and these topics could be investigated deeper.
