First of all thank you everyone who takes the time to read this and even more thank you to those who respond.
Like I said in the title, our professor asked us what we would like to focus on as our first project and I decided to pick how transexual people feel how they are regarded across the globe, is there any place in the world they feel like they belong no matter who they are and if so why do they think so?
I should also tell you all that I decided to focus on this just because I am ignorant about this topic and I have never known anyone who felt they were misgendered when growing up. I've known people who have done a sex change after I lost contact with them but that's all.
So please tell me if I ask something offensive, I hope you do understand is all in good faith.
To make it easy for everyone I'll just ask 13 questions and you can just write down the answers, if you feel like you instead want to write down everything as an essay then please do so. Please skip questions you don't want to answer.
I am gonna focus on people who are transexual, but would love if transgendered people could answer some questions too, it would help me to get a better perspective.
1. What sex were you born as?
2. At what age did you have the first thoughts that you were not the sex the society had categorized you as?
3. Did you ever think your thoughts were wrong? And if so how did you deal with them?
4. At what age did you accept you for whom you were?
5. How long did it take until you told your friends/family?
6. How did they react?
7. How did the society react?
8. Are you thinking about a sex change/When did you change your sex (at what age)?
9. If you have changed your sex, then were people around you supportive or dismissive?
10. What sex are you attracted to? Can you feel sexually attracted to people who are transgendered?
11. Where are you from? (If naming a country is too specific then please name a continent instead.)
12. Do you think the country you live in is moving in the right direction to understand and accept you for whom you are?
13. What do you think would be the most important step for a gouvernment to take to help the population to understand the problems that so many people are facing?
1.1 Could I use the answers you have given in the report? (y/n)
1.2 Do you want your username to be mentioned?
Is there anything you would like to add?
Thank you to everyone who have answered the questions, like I said I am very ignorant about the subject so please let me know if any of those questions were inappropriate. The course will start in September but I wanted to ask these questions before it so I have a foot to stand on when I start the research.
The research will be in Swedish, but I can try to translate it to English if there is any interest in reading it.
And if these type of questions are not allowed, then please lock this thread mods.
