Esta guía va dirigida a la comunidad universitaria y personas dedicadas a la gestión de la diversidd en la educación superior pretendiendo servir como recurso de orientación en asuntos de diversidad sexual y de género. Comienza clarificando los conceptos de sexo, género, expresión de género y orientación sexual para dar a conocer al/la lector/a qué son, cómo interactúan entre sí, en qué se diferencian y cuál es su relación con la manera en la que las personas se sienten y en la que se relacionan. En segundo lugar, hace una breve descripción de algunas de las situaciones que puede vivir el alumnado como consecuencia de su identidad de género y/o orientación sexual y las limitaciones con las que se pueden encontrar en la Universidad, así como las preocupaciones y experiencias del PAS y PDI. Esta sección incluye algunas citas para ilustrar la experiencia del alumnado que, aunque no pertenecen a la Universidad de Sevilla, sus experiencias pueden ser parecidas en cualquier ámbito educativo. Después se describen iniciativas que se pueden promover, desde el trato entre personal y alumnado hasta las acciones por parte de la institución para crear un entorno más inclusivo, introduciendo previamente el marco legal de referencia. La guía concluye llamando a la necesidad de promover buenas prácticas capaces de prevenir situaciones negativas y discriminatorias en la Universidad.
Developing vocational identity as a young adult is a complex feat and may be even more so for transgender people, who have to navigate their professional selves in a largely cisgender and heteronormative world that minoritizes them. This qualitative study explores how transgender youths develop a vocational identity. Through 10 in‐depth interviews in the Netherlands and Belgium, we found that participants had to negotiate favoring education (at the expense of gender transition) or sensemaking their gender identity (at the expense of schooling), while seeking to avoid discrimination. In addition, we observed that transitioning was also an enabling process, facilitating the development of trans young adults' vocational identity. We also found that trans young adults see the (un)attainability of career paths related to anticipated stigmatization and other expectations related to their trans identities. In particular, they mentioned occupations where hegemonic masculinity and gender binarism are praised, while those involving interaction with children and teenagers are not attainable. Organizations celebrating their trans identity and career paths in which the living conditions of other minoritized people are improved were perceived as attainable and desirable. The insights presented here show that even in countries that are considered “progressive” in terms of LGBTQ+ rights, the vocational identity of trans youth is nevertheless influenced by (and at times constrained by) their gender identity. The need for career counselors, educational institutions, and organizations to work on facilitating the future career development of trans individuals and their access to inclusive spaces is discussed.
