La fluidità dei confini: il diritto alla salute ha un genere?

Abstract

The aim of the work was to create a survey related to health questions to be distributed to associations active for trans* people's rights. 165 answers were obtained: among these, 45.6% are from trans* people and 31.3% from cisgender women. Different gender identifications are reported by trans* people who answered to the survey. Finally, among all the answers obtained, 71.3% have never received information about a gender-personalized medicine and 79.4% have never received informations about different therapeutic choices. From the comments collected in the survey's open field, three macro-themes emerged: disinformation, pathologization, and lack of economic resources. It is then necessary to break all prejudices to respect the right to health of trans* people, who are still invisible within health systems today.
