Socialstyrelsen is a government agency with the duty to ensure good and equal social services and health and medical services. The document states recommendations for health care providers in Sweden who primarily treat patients with gender dysphoria. The study has used social constructionism and discourse theory to analyze the material. Discourse analysis has been used as both a theory and a method in this study. The studied document creates and upholds several discourses, the biggest one among them states that the target group (people with gender dysphoria) is in need of medical treatment with focus on physical procedures. The document also upholds a discourse regarding how the care providers should approach their patients with respect, empathy and compassion. This discourse is challenged in some parts of the document where Socialstyrelsen recommends interventions that the target group reports as violating and degrading. (Less)
