Abstract

Trans people suffer from significant health disparities in multiple areas, one of which is ​​public health. Real or perceived stigma and discrimination within biomedicine and healthcare delivery, in general, can affect trans people's desire and ability to access appropriate care, thereby impacting their own health. The biggest barrier to both safe hormone therapy and adequate general medical care for transgender patients is the lack of access to care. Despite guidelines and data supporting the current transgender medicine treatment paradigm, trans patients report that a lack of providers experienced in trans medicine represents the single largest component inhibiting access. Transgender care is not taught in conventional medical training programs and very few doctors have the necessary knowledge and level of comfort. As such, this book provides up-to-date information on the health of transgender people. Chapters address such topics as standards for transgender care, the treatment of gender dysphoria, the lived experiences of transgender persons in Brazil and India, and much more.

Abstract

Autor majstrovsky využíva vedomú a silnú reflexivitu na všetky aspekty a fázy svojho skúmania. Zároveň poskytuje kultivovaný a znalosťami podložený ponor do prežívania rodovo nebinárneho človeka, prezentovaný a prítomný v celom texte. (prof. PhDr. Viera Bačová, DrSc) Kniha zaujímavým spôsobom prepojuje tri dimenzie situovanosti autora (vedca, aktivistu a človeka v procese tranzície). Táto špecifická situovanosť a pozicionalita je zároveň systematicky a citlivo reflektovaná v celom procese výskumu (interakcie so skúmanými). Preto sa domnievam, že táto kniha má aj vzdelávací rozmer - môže slúžiť ako metodologická učebnica autoetnografie pre odbory, ako sú sociálna antropológia či sociológia. (Mgr. Petra Ezzeddine, PhD)

Abstract

Every body contains multitudes, but no body is immune to the ideology of oneness: one true self, one sexuality, one gender, one vision of the world, one true God. For many who identify (or who have been named by others) as transgender, queer, and nonbinary, the refusal to fit within the illusion of one set of sex and gender expectations has been met with violence and suppression. While the myth of oneness is a powerful story that shapes the contours of our societies and our selves, it is not the only myth. Performances, fictions, rituals, and theologies can transform current realities. The(y)ology: Mythopoetics for Queer/Trans Liberation is a manifesto for artists, teachers, theologians, clergy, and activists looking for ways to resist rigid paradigms of gender, sexuality, self, and the sacred. In these pages, we are called to tell new stories about who we are and how we relate to each other within our ecosystems. The myths discussed wrestle with and transform the complex mytho-histories that have birthed and, often, harmed us. No story comes from nothing, and, more radically, perhaps no story is fully irredeemable. n The(y)ology, feminist philosophies join with trans poetics, literary theory with liberation theologies, drag performance with kabbalah, ecologies with pornographies, and ancient theater with queer autobiographies. However ambitious its scope might be, The(y)ology is fundamentally about encouraging us all to think playfully and to play thoughtfully with the mythologies that define our lives. --

Abstract

The Tokyo Olympic Games are likely to feature the first transgender athlete, a topic that will be highly contentious during the competition. But transgender and intersex athletes such as Laurel Hubbard, Tifanny Abreu, and Caster Semenya didn't just turn up overnight. Both intersex and transgender athletes have been newsworthy stories for decades. In Sporting Gender: The History, Science, and Stories of Transgender and Intersex Athletes, Joanna Harper provides an in-depth examination of why gender diverse athletes are so controversial. She not only delves into the history of these athletes and their personal stories, but also explains in a highly accessible manner the science behind their gender diversity and why the science is important for regulatory committees—and the general public—to consider when evaluating sports performance. Sporting Gender gives the reader a perspective that is both broad in scope and yet detailed enough to grasp the nuances that are central in understanding the controversies over intersex and transgender athletes. Featuring personal investigations from the author, who has had first-person access to some of the most significant recent developments in this complex arena, this book provides fascinating insight into sex, gender, and sports.

Abstract

U Bosni i Hercegovini još uvijek nije pogodna društvena klima u kojoj su LGBTI osobe ohrabrene i podržane u pristupu uslugama brige o mentalnom zdravlju u okviru zdravstvenog i sistema socijalne zaštite koji bi pružali inkluzivne i senzibilizirane usluge. Ovu činjenicu adekvatno oslikava istraživanje potreba i problema LGBTI osoba u Bosni i Hercegovini1 koje je proveo Sarajevski otvoreni centar 2017. godine, a koje je otkrilo da oblici isključujućih i nasilnih interakcija prema LGBTI osobama uzrokuju ozbiljne psihološke poteškoće ili krize. Naime, više od polovice LGBTI ispitanika_ca smatra da je imalo psihološke poteškoće ili krize zbog društvenog tretmana. Stres, odnosno epizode stresa, stanje je koje doživljava čak 87,7% ispitanika_ca od onih koji_e navode psihološke poteškoće. Što se tiče ozbiljnijih psiholoških poteškoća, depresije ili epizoda depresije, smatra se da ih je 70,9% ispitanika_ca doživjelo, dok je 64% ispitanika_ca koji_e su prošli_e psihološke poteškoće zbog odnosa društva prema svom identitetu doživjelo anksioznost i napade panike. Čak 38,4% ispitanika_ca imalo je suicidalne misli i/ili pokušaje samoubojstva. Ni poremećaji prehrane nisu beznačajno stanje, a gotovo trećina ispitanika_ca ih je doživjela. Međutim, ono što je istraživanje pokazalo jeste da LGBTI osobe nerado traže stručnu psihološku podršku zbog nedostatka povjerenja u postojeće službe i straha od autovanja. Kao neke od glavnih razloga zašto ne traže stručnu pomoć navode strah od otkrivanja svog LGBTI identiteta, sumnju da im ova usluga pomaže, nedovoljne kompetencije i senzibilnost, kao i nedostatak finansijskih sredstava za osiguranje usluga stručne pomoći. Neizvjesna je i dostupnost i pristup psihosocijalnim i uslugama vršnjačkog savjetovanja. LGBTI osobe izvan Sarajeva imaju ograničen pristup senzibiliziranoj i prilagođenoj psihosocijalnoj podršci za rješavanje ozbiljnih posljedica koje donosi diskriminacija na osnovu seksualne orijentacije/rodnog identiteta/spolnih karakteristika, kao što su teška depresija i anksioznost, suicidalne misli, ozbiljna ugrožavanja punog učešća u društvenom životu, posebno u obrazovanju i na radnom mjestu. S druge strane, trenutno postoje samo dvije organizacije u cijeloj BiH, obje smještene u Sarajevu, koje pružaju kontinuiranu senzibiliziranu i stručnu vršnjačku i psihosocijalnu podršku LGBTI osobama besplatno2 . Druge organizacije ili nisu senzibilizirane ili nemaju potreban doseg, resurse, iskustvo i priznanje unutar LGBTI zajednice. provode projekat pod nazivom „Regionalizacija LGBTI inkluzivne psihosocijalne podrške i pristupa uslugama mentalnog zdravlja u Bosni i Hercegovini“, koji finansira Evropska unija. Projekat ima za cilj stvoriti okruženje u kojem će LGBTI osobe biti ohrabrene i podržane u pristupu sistemima mentalnog zdravlja koji pružaju inkluzivne i senzibilizirane usluge, te ojačati i proširiti institucionalnu mrežu (centri za mentalno zdravlje i centri za socijalni rad) i mrežu organizacija civilnog društva iz Tuzle, Mostara, Zenice, Prijedora, Banjaluke, Bijeljine i Doboja koje pružaju psihosocijalnu podršku za LGBTI osobe u BiH. S druge strane, projekat teži jačanju LGBTI zajednice i njihovom osnaživanju u pogledu očuvanja blagostanja i brige za vlastito mentalno zdravlje – kako na adekvatne i pristupačne načine da koriste postojeće usluge psihosocijalne podrške. U svemu tome cilj jeste podići i svijest javnosti o efektima tzv. manjinskog stresa na mentalno zdravlje LGBTI zajednice. Upravo zbog edukacije, osnaživanja i osiguranja dodatnih resursa primarno za stručnjake_inje iz oblasti mentalnog zdravlja i socijalne zaštite, ali i LGBTI osobe i njihove obitelji, kreiramo priručnik koji je pred vama. Priručnik smo podijelili na dva dijela: prvi koji daje pregled ljudskih prava i sloboda LGBTI osoba u Bosni i Hercegovini, i iz pravno-aktivističke perspektive nudi korake za postupanje sa LGBTI osobama, stvaranje sigurnog okruženja od predrasuda, diskriminacije i nasilja, posebno u slučajevima nasilja u obitelji i vršnjačkog nasilja; drugi koji nudi stručne smjernice za sveobuhvatnu psihoterapijsku, psihološku i druge vidove specifične podrške LGBTI osobama i njihovim raznolikim identitetima, u potrazi za načinima kako se nositi sa poteškoćama i izazovima sa kojima se susreću u društvu. Želimo da ova publikacija bude koristan i vrijedan alat za jačanje kapaciteta i dodatno obučavanje specijaliziranih ustanova za mentalno zdravlje i socijalnu zaštitu te organizacija civilnog društva koje pružaju ove usluge. Budući da je zaštita mentalnog zdravlja okružena stigmom i predrasudama, neophodno je podići svijest LGBTI zajednice, stručne i šire javnosti o važnosti održavanja vlastitog blagostanja, brige o mentalnom zdravlju i traženja podrške pružatelja usluga. U tom smislu se nadamo da će priručnik doprinijeti uspostavljanju održivog sistema pružanja psihosocijalne podrške LGBTI osobama od organizacija civilnog društva, javnih ustanova i na mjestima na kojima do sada nije bio dostupan.

Abstract

Transgender studies is a heterogeneous site of debate that is marked by tensions, border wars, and rifts both within the field and among feminist and queer theorists. Intersecting the domains of women's studies, sexuality, gender and transgender studies, Debates in Transgender, Queer, and Feminist Theory provides a critical analysis of key texts and theories, engaging in a dialogue with prominent theorists of transgendered identity, embodiment and sexual politics, and intervening in various aspects of a conceptually and politically difficult terrain. A central concern is the question of whether the theories and practices needed to foster and secure the lives of transsexuals and transgendered persons will be promoted or undermined - a concern that raises broader social, political, and ethical questions surrounding assumptions about gender, sexuality, and sexual difference; perceptions of transgendered embodiments and identities; and conceptions of divergent desires, goals and visions.
