Abstract:
The sociology of transidentities allows us to shift the medical gaze on trans people and identities. Beyond the psychiatric or surgical issues, we are able to analyze the shift in representations and social consideration about transidentities in France, through a social history of transgender health, a sociology of transphobic experiences or the transformations of trans claims. Beyond its historical perspective, this article is based on recent work on the sociology of transidentities in France and presents various data from statistical surveys.
