In this episode, we’ll talk about gender identity and the process of gender affirmation.
We’ll address some of the main questions many people ask: What is gender and how does it differ from biological sex? Who is a transgender person? What are the available paths in Italy to affirm one’s gender — including psychological support, hormone therapy, and surgical procedures? And how can legal documents be changed?We’ll also discuss how to apply for international protection for those persecuted because of their gender identity, and the specific challenges transgender people — especially migrants — face when trying to access healthcare, legal support, and safety.
