Disforia Di Genere

In questo articolo gli autori esamineranno l'attuale situazione italiana per quanto concerne i trattamenti di conferma del genere (GCT) e, alla luce delle ulti-me ricerche e review della letteratura sui GCT, verranno analizzate e confrontate le linee guida dell'Osservatorio Nazionale sull'Identità di Genere (ONIG) e della World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH). Gli autori mostreranno come l'attuale percorso, che prevede, prima dell'accesso ai GCT, la risoluzione di ogni altro disagio psichico presente, potrebbe essere modificato per mi-gliorare lo stato di benessere delle persone transgender e gender non-conforming (TGNC), trattando la disforia prima o contemporaneamente ai disturbi secondari. Si evidenzierà inoltre come la popolazione affetta da disforia di genere risulti par-ticolarmente suscettibile allo sviluppo di disturbi psichiatrici, con evidenti costi in termini di qualità di vita per la persona e per il sistema sanitario che deve farsene carico. Infine, verrà evidenziato che il miglioramento dei servizi sociosanitari per le persone transgender contribuirebbe a migliorare la qualità della vita della popola-zione TGNC italiana anche grazie ad una depatologizzazione delle identità non coerenti col genere assegnato.

Abstract In 1998 the authors circulated a questionnaire asking transgender respondents their reactions to various and assorted terminology and usage, including information about what the respondents did and did not wish to be called (N = 134). The authors followed up with focus groups at two trans conferences and presented their results at the 2001 symposium of the Harry Benjamin International Gender Dysphoria Association. In 2011, to see how language usage had evolved, the authors circulated a similar questionnaire (N = 2,633) and presented those results at the 2011 symposium of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health. These results are now presented in print.

The epilogue examines the legacy of the efforts by Julius Chambers and his firm through the mid-1970s. In 1984, Chambers, widely acknowledged as an exceptionally skilled civil rights litigator and legal strategist, succeeded Jack Greenberg as director-counsel of Legal Defense and Education Fund. From that post Chambers coordinated the legal struggle for civil rights for nine years, mostly attempting to fend off the increasingly reactionary policies of the Reagan administration and of the legal positions on race advanced by the Supreme Court under Chief Justice William Rehnquist. In 1993, Chambers resigned as LDF director-counsel and returned to North Carolina, where he was installed as chancellor of his undergraduate alma mater, now North Carolina Central University, in Durham. Chambers retired in 2001and, after an absence of nearly twenty years, returned to Charlotte where he rejoined the firm on a limited basis. He meanwhile served the inaugural director of the UNC Center for Civil Rights, housed within the UNC Law School. Chambers, whose efforts advanced federal civil rights law to its apogee in the early to mid-1970s and who thus stands out as the most important African American civil rights attorney in the generation following Thurgood Marshall, died on August 2, 2013.
