“Transtocando” desde lo Queer y el Transfeminismo: Narrativas de violencia cultural - directa y estrategias de resiliencia frente a la exclusión en el ámbito educativo de personas trans de la Asociación Silueta Cuenca LGBTI, 2025

Abstract

The field of formal education is not only a learning space, but also a space where tools of mastery are exercised, trying to fit the members of a society into a mold of processes that align with the biological sex "man and woman". Thus, those who do not conform to these standards find it difficult on a human level to continue their training process. In this context, this research was developed from narratives of the trans population of the Asociación Silueta Cuenca with the aim of determining the factors of discrimination and violence experienced in the educational environment and the individual and collective strategies they have developed, in order to establish guidelines for future public policies. A qualitative approach with a phenomenological-hermeneutical design was adopted, allowing to capture how the participants' lived experiences intersect with sociocultural aspects. Methodologically, semi- structured interviews were conducted with six trans women and a participatory workshop was held with five trans women, selected through intentional sampling. The information was analyzed in the ATLAS.Ti software, helping to code and contextualize the data, linking them with the theoretical framework and objectives of the project. The results show the relationship between educational dropout of trans people and situations of violence and discrimination, which impact differently according to places and contexts. As a main contribution, this research emphasizes fundamental perspectives for future research that will make visible the realities of trans people and thus ensure effective policies in compliance with rights.
