The support network that perpetuates transgender women are social organizations that seek positive action mechanisms to generate a safe space in the face of the different contexts of discrimination that each of them have. The objective of the research is to determine the levels of resilience developed by transgender women who receive assistance from the support networks of the Bolívar canton, Manabí, Ecuador. The investigative approach is mixed, with a qualitative and quantitative structure, the situational state is described, through inductive and deductive techniques, it starts for the application of the SVRS-RES Test, and through the use of the INEC survey instrument, it is allows to recognize the current states of the investigated population. The results indicate that the support networks to which transgender women belong, carry out support campaigns on HIV issues, execute projects that are born from the same key population, and in turn use meetings with the members of these representations of the civil society, to generate safe spaces within their own environments. The levels of resilience that occur within these support networks are the strategies that provide for overcoming discrimination problems, little access to employment and concentration to eradicate gender violence that is conceived from the political, social and social construction cultural.

El Estado español no reconoce el derecho a la identidad sexual de los menores transexuales, ni prevé un procedimiento especial que permita el cambio de nombre a todos los menores transexuales de acuerdo a su identidad sexual, provocando que sus derechos fundamentales sean vulnerados. La situación de desamparo legal se alivia gracias a la legislación promulgada por la mayoría de las comunidades autónomas en los ámbitos en los que tienen competencias y que son esenciales para los menores, como educación y sanidad ; The Spanish State does not recognize the right to gender identity of transgender minors, nor does it foresee a special procedure that allows the change the name of all transgender minors according to their gender identity, provoking the violation of their fundamental rights.

How might certain moving images move us into transgender becoming? The recent proliferation of transgender images in the media of the Global North has been widely regarded as supporting transgender political and social equality. But do these images do justice to the complexity of transgender lives? Who are images of transgender identity made for, and whose interests do they serve? Instead of discussing media that produce a transgender object for public consumption, this essay's author is interested in theorizing a trans point of media reception for the popular image. This essay illustrates how transgender subjects might fashion their own archives of becoming through encounters with media that unintentionally support transgender embodiment as a possibility in the world. Revisiting his phenomenological encounters with the film Under the Skin and the "Milk: It Does a Body Good" ad campaign, the author analyzes how certain media objects have the unexpected power to "move" the transgender subject into becoming.

This study aims at discussing about the forms of Camp strategies as well as elaborating the purpose of its application in Lady Chablis' Hiding My Candy. Hiding My Candy tells a story of a transgender name The Doll who fights for her survival among patriarchal community. To answer the objectives of the research, Moe Meyer's Camp theor y will be applied. In the book of the Politics and Poetics of Camp, Meyer defines Camp as the total body of performative practices and strategies used to enact a queer identity, with enactment defined as the production of social visibility. The emergence of Camp as a survival strategy appears due to the challenge of transgender discrimination resulted by heteronormativity restraint. The study result shows that transgender survival can be divided into three aspects i.e. social visibility, alternative normative and transgender empowerment. Those transgender survival's aspects can be achieved by applying the Camp strategies. Those strategies include parody Camp strategy, humor Camp strategy, strategy of posing (costume, gesture and speech act) and strategy of life in performance.Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengulik bentuk-bentuk strategi Camp dan tujuan penerapannya melalui novel Hiding My Candy karya Lady Chablis. Hiding My Candy merupakan sebuah novel yang merepresentasikan upaya kebertahanan transgender yang dilakukan oleh tokoh The Doll. Adapun pendekatan yang akan digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah teori Camp oleh Moe Meyer. Dalambuku the Politics and Poetics of Camp, Moe Meyer mendefinisikan istilah Camp sebagai total keseluruhan praktik dan strategi untuk menunjukkan identitas queer kaum marjinal, dalam hal ini transgender, kepada masyarakat (visibilitas sosial). Lazimnya, masyarakat heteronormatif menganggap transgender sebagai liyan sehingga keberadaan mereka seringkali terpinggirkan. Maka, tujuan dari penerapan strategi Camp adalah untuk menjamin kebertahanan kaum transgender dalam masyarakat. Muatan kritik terhadap heteronormativitas juga tampak nyata dalam penerapan strategi Camp . Sasaran kritik tersebut adalah pemapanan konstruksi gender normatif serta eksklusifitas kaum heteroseksual yang menjadikan kaum marginal seperti transgender tersisihkan. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ditemukan bahwa bentuk-bentuk strategi Camp dapat dirinci sebagai berikut; strategi parodi Camp, strategi humor Camp, strategy of posing (kostum, gestur dan gaya bicara) serta strategi hidup dalam pertunjukkan.Penerapan strategi Camp tersebut ditujukan sebagai upaya untuk meraih kebertahanan transgender. Selanjutnya, kebertahanan transgender dapat dicerminkan melalui visibilitas sosial, terbentuknya wacana normalitas alternatif dan pemberdayaan transgender

This paper explores the political function assigned to transgender identities in the context of the Spanish transition from francoism to democracy. It focuses on how Spanish underground journals of the seventies use the image of the transgender community as a symbol of subversion that exemplifies the end of the «virility» that francoism had associated with power. Transgender identities are used as a monolithic symbol of the need of celebrating subversion, of deconstructing the influence of francoist power in the construction of identities, but also as a symbol of the new possibility of reclaiming public space. The paper also analyses how this subversion seems to loose its sense once democracy is instituted, and how the destape –the profusion of sexual images in the cultural products of the late seventies in Spain– is related to this loss of revolutionary potential linked to transgender practice. ; Este artículo propone una reflexión sobre la función política de la imagen del travesti en el contexto español durante la transición del franquismo a la democracia. En concreto, se analiza cómo en la prensa contracultural de los setenta, lo travesti no se presenta como una práctica ni una opción, sino más bien como un símbolo de contrapoder monolítico que permite ejemplificar públicamente la clausura de la «virilidad» del poder franquista sin afirmar todavía plenamente una nueva identidad democrática. Resulta, por lo tanto, un correlato útil para visibilizar la necesidad de celebrar la posibilidad de subversión, de eliminar las huellas que el poder franquista pueda haber impreso, no sólo en las instituciones, sino también en la percepción de la propia identidad o las posibilidades de ocupar el espacio público. Así mismo, se estudia cómo esta subversión parece perder su sentido una vez ya está asentado un nuevo poder, esta vez democrático, y cómo el destape –la profusión de imágenes sexuales en los productos de consumo a finales de los setenta– contribuye a esta desactivación de la capacidad revulsiva del símbolo.

This thesis tracks the conceptual journeying of the term 'transgender' from the Global North - where it originated - along with the physical embodied journeying of transgender asylum seekers from countries within Africa to South Africa, and considers the interrelationships between the two. With regards to the term 'transgender', it is the contention of this thesis that it transforms as it travels, taking on meaning in relation to bodies, national homes, institutional frameworks and imaginaries. More specifically, that it has materialised in South Africa - first as a discourse and following this as a politics - due to a combination of social, political and cultural conditions peculiar to the country. In direct correlation to this movement, this thesis argues that in recent years South Africa has seen the emergence of what can be usefully termed 'gender refugees' - people who can make claims to refugee status, fleeing their countries of origin based on the persecution of their gender identity. This study centers on the experiences and narratives of these gender refugees, gathered through a series of life story interviews, highlighting the ways in which their departures, border crossings, arrivals and perceptions of South Africa have been both enabled and constrained by the contested meanings and politics of this emergence of transgender, particularly in relation to the possibilities of the South African Constitution. Through such narratives, this thesis explores the radical constitutional-legal possibilities for transgender in South Africa, the dissonances between the possibilities of constitutional law - in relation to the distinction made between sex and gender - and the pervasive politics/logic of binary 'sex/gender' within South African society. In doing so, this thesis enriches the emergent field of Transgender Studies, and challenges some of the current dominant theoretical and political perceptions of transgender, by offering complex narratives regarding sex, gender, sexuality and notions of home in relation to particular geo-politically situated bodies. This thesis speaks to contemporary international concerns and debates regarding migration and asylum, identity politics, the control of borders, human rights and protections, documentation and the ongoing bureaucratisation of sex/gender.
