Abstract
La presente investigación busca describir la construcción de feminidad en un grupo de
mujeres trans que trabajan como tutoras de salud en la ciudad de Lima. El enfoque utilizado
fue fenomenológico, se realizó cinco entrevistas semi-estructuradas y a partir de ello, se
buscó conocer los significados que le atribuyen a la vivencia de su feminidad a lo largo de su
vida; considerando su trabajo como un factor particular. Se organizó lo hallado en tres áreas
que configuran su feminidad en la actualidad: a) feminidad en mujeres trans a lo largo de la
vida, b) vivencias de violencia en el desarrollo de la feminidad trans y c) miradas que aceptan
la identidad de género trans. En general, se reconoció una feminidad con características
particulares pero que no dista de aquellas que suelen estar más vinculadas al modelo de
feminidad hegemónica. Se encontraron modelos de feminidad en las distintas etapas de
desarrollo, un entorno particularmente violento y presente en el desarrollo de su feminidad;
así como grupos, como el trabajo, familia y amigos, que pueden ser muy beneficiosos para su
salud mental cuando reconocen y validan sus identidades como mujeres trans. Se espera que
esta investigación sea un aporte, desde la práctica clínica, para el pedido de despatologización
de las identidades trans en los manuales de diagnóstico, así como una evidencia de que el
reconocimiento de la diversidad en distintos espacios, puede generar beneficios en la salud
física y mental de las personas y de la sociedad en general.
The present research seeks to describe the construction of femininity in a group of trans women who work as health workers in the city of Lima. The approach used was phenomenological, five semi-structured interviews were carried out and, from that, and the aim was to know the meanings attributed to the experience of her femininity throughout her life; considering their work as a particular factor. It was organized in three areas that shape their femininity today: a) femininity in trans women in the course of life, b) experiences of violence in the development of transgender femininity and c) views that accept gender identity trans. In general, a femininity with particular characteristics was recognized, but it is not far from those that tend to be more related to the model of hegemonic femininity. Models of femininity were found in the different stages of development, a particularly violent and present environment in the development of their femininity; as well as groups, such as work, family and friends that can be very beneficial to their mental health, since they recognize and validate their trans identities. It is expected that this research will be a contribution, from clinical practice, to the request for depatologizing of trans identities in diagnostic manuals, as well as evidence that the recognition of diversity in different spaces can generate health benefits physical and mental.
