Abstract

ZAMORANO-MARTINEZ, Lenin Adolfo et al. Between the precariousness of rights and the production of political subjectivity in experiences of trans youth in Mexico. Debate fem. [online]. 2023, vol.65, pp.119-147.  Epub Mar 21, 2025. ISSN 2594-066X.  https://doi.org/10.22201/cieg.2594066xe.2023.65.2330.

The purpose of this qualitative research was to understand how the practices and discourses undermining the dignity and integrity of trans youth operate. Focus groups and semi-structured interviews were conducted with 23 trans youth between the ages of 16 and 29 in Mexico. Content analysis was used to identify the practices and discourses through which their rights were violated in a range of dimensions (identity, labor, education, health and space). Moreover, the acts and resources they used to cope with the various forms of infringement, such as emotions, information and communication technologies, and art were identified. We conclude that relations of social inequality translate into the precarization of human rights and, at the same time, the basis that contributes to resisting the precarization of rights and the construction of a trans political subjectivity.

Keywords : Youths; Trans; Rights; Subjectivity; Precariousness.
