Abstract

Gender transitions have been taking place in France for more than fifty years. Recently, case law has come to fruition and has further strengthened the rights of transgender people. However, the issues related to being transgender, including in the medical field, remain too often unknown. This article reports on the specificities and non-specificities of the transidentitarian experience.

Keywords: accompagnement; accompaniment; caregiving posture; identity development; posture soignante; transidentity; transidentity experience; transidentité; transition; vécu transidentitaire; épanouissement identitaire.
