Itinerarios de conciliación corporal a través de la sexualidad y el placer: un análisis de narrativas de jóvenes trans.

The pathologization of transsexuality and the rhetoric of the "wrong body" associated with it, within the framework of a dichotomous and hierarchicalsex / gendersystem, have strongly conditioned the way in which people who identify as trans (transsexual, transgender) think about themselves and guide their bodily practices and their sexualities. However, despite the normative restrictions of the surgical model of transsexuality continue to mark the lives of many young transgender people, when we approach their sex-affective narratives, emancipatory ways of inhabiting sexuality, corporality and desire emerge. These are experiences that call into question the inevitability of dysphoria; that challenge the hegemonic patterns of construction of (hetero)sexuality and gender, especially of masculinity; and that deny the presumption of undesirability that is often attributed to trans bodies. The discourses that are analyzed in this article come from interviews with young transgender people in the framework of an ethnographic research carried out in Spain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
