Perspektiven auf das Phänomen „Transsexualität“
Marschütz, Gerhard (Redakcja Wydawnictw Wydziału Teologicznego Uniwersytetu Opolskiego, 2016)
The phenomenon of „transsexuality“ can be viewed, analyzed and studied from different perspectives. Each accepted perspective, that is historical, scientific, religious or personal one also affects the appropriate perception and judgments on this phenomenon. The article outlines six important perspectives: the perspective of a transsexual person, the medical and psychiatric one (disorder of gender identity, gender dysphoria, sex incongruity), conceptual perspective (transsexuality, trans-identity and trans-gender), the perspective of the gender studies / gender queer (natural dichotomy of a sex as a social construct), the perspective of different concepts of gender identity and their development, as well as the Catholic theological perspective, which still formulates in a significant way a creative disposition of a binary gender order as a socio-cultural basic assumption of different sexes. Finally, there is a need for inclusive review of these perspectives so as to be able to properly respond to the “transsexuality” phenomenon.
