Them: Trans and Non-Binary Youth Journeys - João Teixeira Lopes

Them: Trans and Non-Binary Youth Journeys

A JOURNEY THROUGH THE PATHS OF TRANS AND NON-BINARY YOUTH, INTERSECTING INDIVIDUAL EXPERIENCE WITH THE SOCIAL STRUCTURES THAT SHAPE IDENTITY, AFFECTIONS, AND POSSIBILITIES Anchored in a realistic, relational, materialist, and intersectional sociological perspective, Them shows how gender journeys are inseparable from material living conditions, social inequalities, and power relations that permeate family, school, friendships, activism, and institutions. Far from reducing these trajectories to the moment of transition, the book follows childhoods, socialization processes, and self-affirmation, revealing that each path is singular, plural, and shaped by multiple forms of belonging and inequality. Between life stories and sociological analysis, Them challenges certainties, broadens horizons, and invites readers to view trans and non-binary lives in their complexity, contributing to recognition and understanding in a world where prejudice becomes the common gaze.
