De Afuera Hacia Adentro y de Adentro Hacia Fuera, Lucha y Resistencia: el Proceso de Construcción y Deconstrucción re la Identidad de las Personas Transexuales y no Binarias en la Ciudad de Bogotá (2023)

Abstract

The proposed research arises from the need to respond to how the process of construction and deconstruction of the identity and gender expression of self-identified transsexual and non-binary young people is carried out, based on a series of discursive elements such as language, bodily manifestations and behaviors that disobey a hegemonic social system in the key of a normative and coercive sexuality, which have been presented in everyday spaces appealing to the invisibility of these bodies and the identities they embody. The research is framed from a feminist approach, which aims to make visible and give prominence to the various voices and issues that are exercised at the time of the the other hand, the interpretative comprehensive paradigm is retaken, based on an analysis of the representation of reality immersed in a series of dynamics that are not only the result of the immersed in a series of dynamics of power and individuation in which these actors move, where seven interviews were carried out The results of these exercises, which were carried out in semi-structured sessions, two focus groups and two body mapping exercises, made visible the life experiences of people self-recognized as transsexual and non-binary, who, based on their existence, decided to frame a resistance to the spaces of violation of rights within the public sphere, to the systematic oppression that has given way to the tension and obligation to correspond to a series of hegemonic beauty rules that replicate tangible violence that are projected bodily and exert a social punishment to these people.
