İstanbul'da Yaşayan Transların Dışlanma ve Ayrımcılık Deneyimleri Üzerine Nitel Bir Çalışma
Journal Title: AURUM Sosyal Bilimler Dergisi - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
The aim of this study is to identify trans individuals’ experiences of discrimination and exclusion in order to make these problems more visible in academic, social and political discourses. For this study, semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten trans individuals living in Istanbul and thematic analysis was employed to analyze the data. Results indicate that trans individuals’ problems are focused on the issues of surveillance, exclusion and violence. These problems seem to affect every aspect of participants’ lives, including family relationships, educational experiences, medical and psychological services, housing, and inclusion in the labor market. They are deprived of their basic rights and an equal social status. Moreover, participants are denied recognition in the ways with which they define and experience their gender identity and subjectivity. Finally it is identified that discrimination, exclusion and assaults are so chronic that participants are in a state of constant expectation for and alertness to similar negative experiences. Findings are expected to contribute to an awareness of trans individuals’ problems and their struggles against discrimination and exclusion, and to stimulate further research on this under-research group. Additionally, it is hoped that findings point out a need to review and assess available psychology and psychiatry services provided to trans clients.
