Description

Transgender people are those whose gender identity, a self-image of belonging to a certain sex, does not conform to their sex assigned at birth. Previous studies on transgender issues have presupposed that sexuality and gender dysphoria occur within individuals. However, sexuality may be formed by their relationship with others. The present study aims at reconsidering sexuality and gender dysphoria from a relational perspective, adopting a dialogical autoethnography and In-Depth Talking approach. Based on the results, a descriptive concept named "container" was introduced, and differentiated from other similar concepts to discuss how transgender individuals experience their gender dysphoria in relations with others.
