Fecundidad, cuerpos en tránsito y transformaciones corporales: una aproximación desde trayectorias de vida de personas transmasculinas en Bogotá
Thesis
This research started from analyzing the reconfiguration of the notion of the body in transit and its fertility by having a trans-male life experience - TFL. Starting from the imaginary that bodies are fecund by nature, this is the key point for understanding that bodies in transit put in tension socio-cultural logics such as the bodily correspondence between sex and gender. Thus, it becomes evident that trans people do not have the same needs as the Cisgender population in terms of sexual and reproductive health. This text is based on a phenomenological approach and a methodology of life stories, from which four cases were collected. There they identified corporal transformations towards masculine parameters, the interaction with the health system, with support networks, their construction as men, all this keeping in mind their perception, desires and the reconfiguration that their process of transit creates on the fertility from sociocultural pressures. In this way, they can gain a deeper understanding of their reproductive needs and help to open the spectrum and understanding related to other forms of kinship.
