“I’m a normal guy here” – narratives about waiting and access to rights between trans men in Argentina

Abstract

In this work, I interpret narratives of trans men about access to specialized medical attention and the search for rectification of civil documents in Argentina, based on an investigation conducted between 2017 and 2018. From a brief contextualization of the Argentine scenario in terms of trans rights after the approval and regulation of the Gender Identity Law, I present part of the field material produced from semi-structured interviews conducted with Argentinean and Brazilian men living in Argentina. The text seeks to bring empirical elements to give continuity to the reflections that I have raised regarding waiting as a fundamental analytical category to interpret trans experiences, nowadays.
