| Samenvatting: | Over the last decade, the trans* community has experienced major changes in terms of media, political, and literary visibility, disrupting the thinking of clinicians in their practice and their care offering. Furthermore, the West is witnessing a “sudden” and spectacular increase in the number of teenage girls wishing to change gender, without any early warning signs. How are we to interpret such a progression? How can we support these young people in their quest for self-discovery during the full cycle of puberty? At the same time, feminist movements are tirelessly striving to highlight power relations between the sexes and are attempting to rewrite a deeply androcentric History. At a time when some are sounding the alarm and talking about “social contagion” and a “fad,” would this phenomenon signify a form of unconscious resistance to patriarchy by reappropriating a body that is deeply public and political? Could the historical invisibility of women and their being forced to conform to the expectations of the hetero-patriarchal system offer ways to understand this “increase”? Using a qualitative methodology, we will investigate the experiences of transmasculine teenagers around the following emerging categories: the (im)possibility of being a woman; a desire to escape the normative straitjacket; an effect of social ascent through privilege; a constantly questioned mental health; and mobile sexual preferences. |
