Orientador(es)
Resumo(s)
No momento do nascimento de uma criança é declarado o seu sexo, que acarreta
consigo um rótulo – uma posição de género – que inevitavelmente ditará os seus
mecanismos interiores, o seu papel social e a sua aparência exterior na vida adulta.
No entanto, o que é que acontece quando a criança, mais tarde, não corresponde
às espectativas parentais que se foram desenvolvendo ao longo dos anos? O que ocorre
quando a "menina" que nasceu se identifica com o masculino e aparentemente rejeita o
feminino?
O presente estudo debruça-se precisamente sobre estas questões – tendo como
ponto de partida três participantes, autodesignadostransexuaisfemale-to-male, com
idades compreendidas entre os vinte e um e os quarenta anos de idade – utilizando os
testes projectivos Desenho da Figura Humanae Rorschach.
ABSTRACT: At the moment of a child’s birth, its sex is immediately declared, carrying with it a label – a gender position – that will inevitably dictate their inner workings, social role and outward appearance in adulthood. However, what occurs when the child, later in life, does not correspond to the parental expectations that have been developed over the years? What happens when the "girl" who was born identifies with the masculine and apparently rejects the feminine? The present study focuses precisely on these issues – possessing as a starting point three participants, self-designated female-to-male transsexuals, aged between twenty-one and forty years of age – utilizingthe projective tests of the Human Figure Drawing and Rorschach.
