“…In contrast, "cisgender" or "cis" refers to individuals whose gender identity aligns with their assigned sex (Schilt & Westbrook, 2009). In Latin America, the term "transgender" is used in various ways by both scholars and the transgender community, encompassing a wide range of gender identities and expressions that are fluid, complex, and in a constant change (Martínez-Guzmán & Johnson, 2021).…”

Kenya Cuevas is a transgender woman, social advocate, and human rights activist, who has garnered numerous recognitions and awards, such as the Mexico City Honors on Human Rights and in 2021 was recognized by Forbes Magazine as one of the most powerful women in the country. However, she has faced controversy in her battle against hegemonic structures in Mexican society. This study employs a narrative analysis framework to analyze a set of Kenya’s narratives, which aims to portray the recognition of her gender identity within a Mexican context. The findings illustrate the lack of strong social recognition for transgender identity in Mexico and emphasize the need for society to raise awareness about the importance of acknowledging diverse gender expressions.

The island of Rhodes forms an exceptionally popular destination, which hosts thousands of visitors every year. Its natural beauty, together with its rich local history, have contributed to that, as it has been a landmark of many historical events. Great is the contribution of the Italian buildings in Rhodes' current image and function, which were constructed under the Italian occupation of the island during 1912-1948. The present paper is referring to the significance of the Italian monuments in Rhodes. Through a historical retrospection that has to do with the construction of the Italian buildings and the people who contributed to it, this paper focuses on a quantitative research through questionnaires and statistical analysis of the data regarding the review of the current condition of those monuments in Rhodes, as well as a presentation of the touristic interest on them. The assignment is enhanced with photographic depiction and subtitling of the monuments in their current state.

“…Transphobic attitudes and behaviours are particularly acute when targeted at transgender women (transmisogyny) because transphobia is further supported by culturally rooted sexism and degradation of women (i.e., misogyny; Serano, 2007). It is well documented internationally that trans people are highly exposed to transphobic violence (e.g., Grant et al, 2011; Martínez Guzmán & Johnson, 2020), where transphobic violence is constituted as any verbal, physical and psychological act that specifically target individuals whose gender identity does not conform to cisgender norms (Lyons et al, 2017). Internationally, there have been notable improvements in recent years in LGBTI rights; however, ILGA‐Europe (2019) ranks Italy at 35th place out of 49 countries in Europe with an overall score of only 22% of achieved LGBTI human rights.…”

Trans women face multiple social, economic and health inequalities and the impact of gender oppression and violence is even more profoundly experienced by trans women sex workers, although in culturally specific ways. This paper presents a pilot study conducted to explore and engage with the context of trans women sex workers in Lido Tre Archi, Italy. In line with the community psychology values of social justice, social change and participation, we outline our engagement process and key challenges observed when attempting action research with such a highly marginalised group. Data were collected in the form of ethnographic notes from informal consultations with different stakeholders and participant observations, and of documents (newspaper articles, picture captions) and were analysed using thematic analysis. Findings are organised in three themes relating to the social, policy and physical context in Lido Tre Archi demonstrating evidence of the contextual challenges and how they intertwine to generate a spiral of marginalisation and social exclusion for the participants. We take a collaborative and reflexive stance in our work and conclude with recommended steps and potential limitations to initiate an action research project.
