ABSTRACT

Transfeminist studies in Sweden, Norway, and Finland have documented gendersex binary and cis-/heteronormative practices in trans-specific healthcare. Similarly, the Sexology Clinic (SC) has been accused of interpreting gendersex as binary and sexuality as heteronormative. To explore whether Danish healthcare practices are shaped by binary gendersex and heteronormative ideals, we created a survey in collaboration with LGBT DK asking trans people (n = 48) about their experiences with the SC’s practices. We paid particular attention to people who were rejected from the clinic to explore which subject positions the clinic might perceive as unintelligible or illegitimate. Our survey showed that the majority of the participants (75%) identified as LGBQIA+, and eight of 48 participants self-identified as non-binary or with multiple gender identities. Furthermore, non-binary and LGBQIA+ respondents reported a greater conflict with the SC’s interpellation of transgender identity and gender expression than people identifying within the gendersex binary and/or as heterosexual. This finding underlines the importance of ensuring that the SC complies with the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) guidelines and accepts trans people’s own interpellations of gendersex and sexuality as intelligible and legitimate.

摘要

在瑞典，挪威和芬兰的跨性别女性研究证明了跨性别医疗保健中的性别性别二元和顺式/异性性行为。同样，性学诊所（SC）也被指控将性别观点解释为二元，而性观点则解释为异规范。为了探讨丹麦的医疗保健实践是否受到二元性别和异性规范理想的影响，我们与LGBT DK合作创建了一项调查，询问跨性别者（n = 48）他们在SC实践中的经历。我们特别关注那些被诊所拒绝的人员，以探讨诊所可能认为哪些主题位置难以理解或不合理。我们的调查显示，大多数参与者（75％）被确定为LGBQIA +，在48名参与者中，有八名被自我确定为非二进制或具有多个性别认同。此外，非二进制和LGBQIA +的受访者报告说，与SC在跨性别认同和性别表达的干扰相比，与在sexsexex二进制和/或异性恋中进行识别的人们存在更大的冲突。这一发现强调了确保标准委员会符合世界跨性别健康专业协会（WPATH）指南的重要性，并确保跨性别者对性别，性行为的理解和合法接受都是至关重要的。
