Trans men are people who, based on their genitals, were assigned the status of female at birth. However, their identity and their way of living gender do not correspond to the socially established norms. In this paper, we discuss the different perspectives in relation to transgender people and their desire for parenthood. This review, and the basis of this paper, is inspired by the case of a trans man who desired gestation with his own genetic material. He began the cycle of assisted reproduction when he was a legally recognized woman, but that attempt ended with a miscarriage. From that assisted reproduction cycle, four embryos remained frozen. After the failed experience of gestation, the person completed his transition. Now legally a man, he attempted to gestate using his reproductive organs. This literature review aimed to identify relevant studies describing the relationship between transgender person and biological parenthood. This study comprehensively addresses important aspects one should know when considering a transgender pregnancy. These factors include biological, psychological, social, and legal issues. After reviewing the state-of-the-art information on trans parenthood, the main conclusion is that ‘the desire to have a child is not a male or female desire but a human desire’.

“…Así, escribe Supiot, "el Derecho y el Estado solo serían materia de convenciones siempre revisables, simples instrumentos vacíos de sentido, subordinados a las verdades de la ciencia y al progreso irresistible de las técnicas" (17). En este contexto se comprende mejor cómo las posibilidades de la biotecnología -centrales en el proyecto de reforma radical de la familia, se presentan hoy con una especial fascinación (34)(35)(36)(37)(38). 6 Especialmente la clonación reproductiva le permitiría al ser humano "finalmente liberarse de una vez de la diferencia de sexos y de la diferencia de generaciones, creando ese 'sistema móvil de personas en el que los roles, los sexos y las filiaciones biológicas y culturales ya no serían fijas ni estarían ligadas entre sí'" (17,39,40).…”

El punto de partida de este artículo es un acercamiento histórico a los orígenes contemporáneos del actual movimiento de reivindicación de derechos en el ámbito de la familia. Asimismo, por medio de una indagación filosófico-jurídica de sus rasgos esenciales, el autor propone una reflexión interdisciplinar sobre los vínculos entre dicho movimiento y una nueva concepción antropológica y jurídica de la familia potenciada por un uso particular de la biotecnología. El autor explora también algunas propuestas críticas alternativas a este modo de pensar por parte de autores provenientes del ámbito jurídico, psicoanalítico y filosófico. Finalmente, el artículo concluye con una discusión sobre la necesidad de un ensanchamiento de las bases filosóficas y antropológicas del debate sobre la familia con el objetivo de superar el sesgo ideológico de las reformas jurídicas actualmente en curso.

“…This new identity arises from a denial of the heterosexual model as the norm or "normal". It contrasts the binary of male/female and insists, as Palazzani (2013) notes, that each sexual orientation is the same whether expressed towards the same sex, the opposite sex or both sexes. It vies for omnisexuality, polysexuality and multisexuality with each of these preferences being justified by the mere fact of its expression.…”

Gender identities and the search for new spaces: Abdulrazak Gurnahs Paradise

There is growing ambivalence in the concept of gender in our societies today principally because its definition has moved from biological to social, implying that gender categories are not simply limited to male corresponding to man and female corresponding to woman, as it was traditionally, but man can now pass for woman and vice versa depending on the individual. These new constructions have contributed to reshaping and reformulating assigned roles and expectations of individuals, along with creating conflict particularly when such roles, attitudes and behaviour are considered non-conformist. In such a situation, there is need for creation of a new space particularly in culturally diverse settings where values conflict with each other. Gurnah's Paradise is replete with differing notions of gender and the way they are valued, used and trusted. It is from this perspective that this study explores the varying perspectives on gender, that is, gender binary, gender variance and gender fluid, their roles, relationships and representations and how these prompt the search for new spaces within diverse and contradicting cultural settings. Individuals within such settings manifest traits which enforce continuities in creating, structuring and sustaining gender differences. Thus, individuals' reassertion of their gender positions alongside carving out their own spaces is investigated. By implication, individual's experience of gender and how it helps in forming their social identities in relation to other members of society is examined. This reveals that no matter how absurd gender categories may seem, they are bound to (co)exist due to diversity in cultures and individual perceptions of self.
