Abstract

Introduction

This research sought to discover the psychosocial experiences of trans men born and raised in Iran, including the cultural surround unique to Iran.

Method

Fifteen trans men aged from 20 to 35 narrated their lives through in-depth individual interviews. We applied Corbin and Straus’s (2015) approach to analyze the data in developing a Grounded Theory.

Results

Confusing Gender Identity (Core Theme) and eleven other themes, divided into (Macro/Micro) Contextual factors, Actions/Interactions, and Consequences, depicting the structures and processes in trans men’s lives. Escalations of Dysphoria within family structure and Traumatic Backgrounds represent Micro-contextual factors; Masculine Superiority and Feminine Gender Taboo are Macro-contextual factors; Insecurity in Emotional Relationships, Social Insecurity, Feminine Inferiority, Masculine Gender Envy, Discordant Self-image, and Unsupportive Systems are the Actions/Interactions, and Gray Fortunes represent Consequences. A Grounded Theory is developed from these findings that comprehensively represent the relational themes.

Conclusion

The findings clarify the contextual factors affecting Iranian trans men’s lives. They could be applied to improve the overall health of this population. As most studies and theories regarding the transgender population emanate from Western cultures, this research provides a new and comprehensive understanding of trans men’s psychological/social experiences in a unique cultural and political climate.

与伊朗跨性别男人交谈:他们的经历和身份发展

摘要

介绍

这项研究旨在发现在伊朗出生和长大的跨性别男人的社会心理经历,包括伊朗独有的文化环境。

方法

15 名年龄在 20 至 35 岁之间的跨性别男性通过深入的个人访谈讲述了他们的生活。我们应用 Corbin 和 Straus (2015) 的方法来分析数据以开发扎根理论。

结果

令人困惑的性别认同(核心主题)和其他十一个主题,分为(宏观/微观)情境因素、行动/互动和后果,描绘了跨性别男人生活中的结构和过程。家庭结构和创伤背景中烦躁情绪的升级代表了微观背景因素;男尊女卑是宏观情境因素;情感关系中的不安全感、社会不安全感、女性自卑、男性化的性别嫉妒、不和谐的自我形象和不支持的系统是行动/互动,灰色财富代表后果。从这些全面代表关系主题的发现中发展出扎根理论。

结论

调查结果阐明了影响伊朗跨性别男人生活的背景因素。它们可用于改善该人群的整体健康状况。由于大多数关于跨性别人群的研究和理论都源于西方文化,本研究提供了对跨性别男性在独特的文化和政治气候中的心理/社会经历的全新而全面的理解。
