Full description

The number of people consulting for a request related to trans identity is increasing sharply. The study aims to describe the diversity of practices and discourses mobilized by the people concerned and their relatives in the wake of work already carried out in the human sciences.

The care pathway is a central determinant of transgender experiences and differentiated care pathways indicate differentiated relationships to medicalisation and gender, which translate into practices. For the moment, transgender people who do not wish to preserve their fertility or who are not hormonally treated are over-represented in the sample. It is extremely important to gain access to the population that turns to the Reproductive Medicine Service.

The consultation is a place where knowledge (medical, activist, etc.) circulates and meets, which can then be re-appropriated or negotiated by transgender people. While interviews alone are not enough to describe this re-appropriation and negotiation, it is possible to do so through observations of consultations.

Conducting non-directive interviews (life stories) with transgender patients consulting the Reproductive Medicine Department and their volunteer relatives.

The ceiling is 20 interviews and 80 hours of observation.

Patients are given a 'flyer' at the time of their consultation on which the interviewer's contact details are given. They are free to contact the interviewer to find out when and where an interview might take place (outside hospital).

The ceiling is 20 interviews and 80 hours of observation. Discussions during the interview are recorded using a voice recording device, then transcribed in full in Word and anonymised. Discussions during consultations were recorded using notes, then formatted in Word and anonymised.
