(Trans)Gender Citizenship: Gender Diversity, Inequality and Public Policy
(Trans)Gender Citizenship: Gender Diversity, Inequality and Public Policy
Description

The main objective of the research is to analyse the impact of the recent legislative and policy changes in the recognition of trans people and in the promotion of their citizenship. The analysis will take into account the diversity of identities and gender expressions of trans people, as well as the period and context of the formation of (trans)gender identity, starting from three temporal milestones delimited in relation to the legal framework for gender identity in Portugal: 1) the absence of any mechanism or legal protection for gender identity (until March 2011); 2) recognition through a “medical-legal alliance”, based on the gatekeeping of rights and the “medical model of transsexuality” (until August 2018); and 3) recognition of gender identity based on self-determination. The research follows the protocols of qualitative research, with in-depth interviews with trans people being the main method of gathering information.
