Abstract
PARRA-ABAUNZA, Noemi. From "Disorder to Diversity." A Review of the Intervention Models of Trans Childhood and Adolescence in Spain. Prospectiva [online]. 2022, n.34, pp.309-332. Epub July 01, 2022. ISSN 0122-1213. https://doi.org/10.25100/prts.v0i34.11950.
Transsexuality as a modern notion has been built from the paradigm of pathologization, understanding that there is a disorder that must be repaired. In recent years, trans seems to be acquiring a new meaning, understood as an expression of human diversity and based on human rights to give legitimacy to multiple gender experiences. In this sense, we can speak of a dispute of disorder resulting from diversity. The models of intervention in trans childhood and adolescence show this dispute in epistemological and methodological terms. In this theoretical reflection paper we present what are considered the main intervention models around three axes: the origin of trans, the ideological framework and the intervention strategy. This offers a mapping of intervention models: the biomedical diagnostic, gender affirmative, sexology substantive and critical/transfeminist in the Spanish State.
