Abstract
FDEZ-LLEBREZ, Fernando. Democratization of Identities, Transgender and Gender Discomfort. Desafíos [online]. 2015, vol.27, n.2, pp.99-143. ISSN 0124-4035. https://doi.org/10.12804/desafios27.2.2015.03.
The purpose of this paper is to study the relationship that exists between training and the definition of identities (individual and collective) and the development of a democratic citizenship, which is taken as an example of the analysis of sexual and gender identities. The article aims to demonstrate that for a democratization of these identities one must leave behind the dichotomous conception that characterizes them and instead deploy a consideration of them as accessible, fluid realities for all democratic citizenship in which the theoretical contributions provided by transgenderism may be useful to think more inclusively about our lives.
Keywords : Identity; citizenship; democracy; gender; transgenderism.
