Abstract

This article reviews Portugal’s path in addressing non-normative gender identities, focusing particularly on legal gender recognition. While recognition is not limited to enshrining rights in the law – especially the right to the acknowledgement of (self)identity by the state – the legal step is one that is clearly fundamental to making overall recognition a reality. Portugal is an interesting case study, having shifted in less than a decade – the second of the twenty-first century – from a complete absence of trans issues in legislation to the passage of a law on gender identity based on self-determination. Using analysis of legislation and interviews of trans people and representatives of the LGBTQI+ movement conducted during two research projects spanning the last fifteen years, we analyse the macro-level transformations and how they are reflected, at the micro-level, in the trans people’s inclusion in or exclusion from legal recognition, and in the extension of this basic condition of citizenship.

葡萄牙的性别承认:从“空白”到性别自决权
本文回顾了葡萄牙在处理非规范性性别认同方面的道路,特别侧重于法律上的性别承认。虽然承认不限于将权利写入法律,特别是国家承认(自我)身份的权利,但法律步骤显然是实现全面承认的根本。葡萄牙是一个有趣的案例研究,在不到十年的时间里,也就是21世纪的第二个世纪,葡萄牙从立法中完全没有跨性别问题转变为通过了一项基于自决的性别认同法。通过对立法的分析和对跨性别者和LGBTQI+运动代表在过去15年的两个研究项目中进行的采访,我们分析了宏观层面的转变,以及它们在微观层面如何反映在跨性别者被纳入或排除在法律承认之外,以及在公民身份这一基本条件的延伸中。

期刊介绍: The Portuguese Journal of Social Science is a peer-reviewed cross-disciplinary journal focusing on research about Portuguese society by scholars of any nationality. However, the journal takes a broad view and accepts articles that are not exclusively devoted to the Portuguese case. We particularly welcome comparative studies. While the journal concentrates on research articles it operates a flexible policy in respect of other types of submission, including book reviews.
