Benessere, transizioni di genere e capability approach: un’indagine esplorativa sulla popolazione T

This exploratory research focuses on the construction and perception of the wellbeing of bina-ry transgender people (MtF and FtM) through a theoretical model that declines the capability approach theory in LGBTQ+ studies. The questions in the research aim to identify the primary dimensions that influence the con-struction and perception of transgender people’s wellbeing. From the concepts of identity con-struction to the quality of life concerning the capability approach model, the goal is to pinpoint possible differences between FtM and MtF. In line with the data in the literature, the results showed the importance of contextual and sys-temic factors in the construction and perception of transgender people’s wellness and the in-fluence that the normative parameters of sexuality (cis-heteronormative model) in society have in determining the criteria of social inclusion and exclusion.
