En kvantitativ studie om skillnader mellan binära och icke-binära transpersoner inom den svenska transvården
(2022) PSPR14 20221Department of Psychology
- Abstract
- To date there are few studies investigating the difference between binary and non-binary transgender people. The aim of this study was to determine whether there are differences between binary and non-binary patients in swedish transgender care, with regards to the level of gender dysphoria, gender congruence, living in accordance with one’s gender identity and social support. To better understand gender incongruence and the need for gender affirming care we used Carl Rogers theory of the self and congruence, as well as the self-verification and identity negotiation theory. Data was provided from a registry study, Svenska Könsdysforistudien (SKDS), and analyzed using a linear mixed model. The results indicated that transgender patients who... (More)

Data was provided from a registry study, Svenska Könsdysforistudien (SKDS), and analyzed using a linear mixed model. The results indicated that transgender patients who had received gender affirming treatments had less gender dysphoria and experienced more gender congruence, and lived in accordance with their gender identity to a greater extent than transgender patients who had not received treatment. The results also showed that trans men experienced more support for their gender dysphoria from their social network than did trans women and non-binary patients, and that trans women who had not received treatment lived in accordance with their gender identity to a lesser extent than did both trans men and non-binary patients regardless of whether they had received gender affirming treatments. Overall, the results suggest that swedish binary and non-binary patients do not differ in ways that have been discussed in the literature, and that gender affirming treatment appears to be but one step on the road to achieving gender congruence and decreasing gender dysphoria.

- I dagsläget är det få studier som undersökt skillnader mellan binära och icke-binära transpersoner. Syftet med denna uppsats var att undersöka huruvida det förelåg en skillnad i könsdysfori, könskongruens, i vilken utsträckning man lever i enlighet med sin könsidentitet, samt graden av socialt stöd mellan binära och icke-binära transpersoner inom den svenska transvården. För att begripliggöra könsinkongruens och behovet av könsbekräftande vård använde vi oss av Carl Rogers teori om självet och kongruens, samt self-verification och identity negotiation theory. Data samlades in genom registerstudien Svenska Könsdysforistudien (SKDS) och analyserades med en linjär mixed modell. Av resultaten framgick att transpersoner som erhållit behandling... (More)

Data samlades in genom registerstudien Svenska Könsdysforistudien (SKDS) och analyserades med en linjär mixed modell. Av resultaten framgick att transpersoner som erhållit behandling hade lägre könsdysfori och högre könskongruens, samt levde i enlighet med sin könsidentitet i större utsträckning än de som inte fått behandling. Resultaten visade även att transmän hade mer socialt stöd för sin könsdysfori än transkvinnor och icke-binära, samt att graden av socialt stöd inverkade på i vilken utsträckning deltagarna levde i enlighet med sin könsidentitet. Transmän var de som upplevde sig ha mest socialt stöd, medan transkvinnor som inte genomgått behandling var de som levde i enlighet med sin könsidentitet i minst utsträckning. Slutligen diskuterades resultaten i förhållande till de aktuella teorierna och tidigare fynd. Resultaten tyder i sin helhet på att binära och icke-binära inom transvården inte skiljer sig åt i den grad som konstaterats i tidigare forskning inom området, samt att behandling förmodligen bara är en liten del i steget mot att minska könsdysfori och könsinkongruens.
