Exploring Experiences of Transgender Identity Development in Romania
Exploring Experiences of Transgender Identity Development in Romania

Summary/Abstract: This article is looking at gender identity as a range of beliefs, perceptions and experiences. These are shaped in a life-long process of self perception, often triggered by cognitive dissonance, and also by interacting with the forms of social and political power manifesting in an individual’s milieu.1 We focus on the beliefs and experiences of transgender persons with a view to explore their perceptions of their own gender and their take on how transphobia in Romania might be addressed effectively. For the purposes of this article, we have had interviews/correspondence with members of the Romanian transgender community.
