Starting in the 18th century, two axes built the new modern political subjectivity: citizenship and human rights. Only that subject who possesses or acquires the status of citizen is perceivable as being considered human (Balza, 2009). The purpose of this paper is to analyze the experiences of trans*identity citizenship in the State of Campeche, Mexico. Life stories were collected from semi-structured interviews of 8 trans*people. The narratives were grouped into 4 categories: sexual citizenship, gender identity and expression, contexts, as well as exclusion and violence. It was identified that the difficulties and the opportunities for exercising the right to gender identity and expression are reproduced mainly in educational, family and work contexts, which contributes to scenarios of social exclusion as well as fringe attempts of inclusión throughout life. Furthermore, inclusion and belonging continue to be problematic in the legal, economic, and political spheres. Finally, the challenges of the recognition of trans * identities by the State in the mexican context are discussed. Ciudadanía es la categoría política que legitima el nuevo estatuto del sujeto occidental en la actualidad. A partir del siglo XVIII, dos ejes construyen la nueva subjetividad política moderna: la ciudadanía y los derechos humanos. Solo aquel sujeto que posea o adquiera el estatuto de ciudadano es perceptible de ser considerado humano (Balza, 2009). El propósito del presente trabajo es analizar las experiencias de ciudadanía trans*identitarias en el Estado de Campeche, México. Se recolectaron las historias de vida de ocho personas trans* a partir de entrevistas semiestructuradas. Las narrativas se agruparon en cuatro categorías: ciudadanía sexual, identidad y expresión de género, contextos, así como exclusión y violencias. Se identificó que las dificultades y las oportunidades para el ejercicio del derecho a la identidad y a la expresión de género se reproducen principalmente en contextos educativos, familiares y laborales, lo que contribuye tanto a escenarios de exclusiones sociales como a intentos marginales de inclusión a lo largo de la vida. Por otra parte, la inclusión y la pertenencia siguen siendo problemáticas en los ámbitos legal, económico y político. Finalmente se discuten los desafíos del reconocimiento de las trans*identidades por parte del Estado en el contexto mexicano.

| description |
Citizenship is the political category that legitimizes the new status of the Western subject today. Starting in the 18th century, two axes built the new modern political subjectivity: citizenship and human rights. Only that subject who possesses or acquires the status of citizen is perceivable as being considered human (Balza, 2009). The purpose of this paper is to analyze the experiences of trans*identity citizenship in the State of Campeche, Mexico. Life stories were collected from semi-structured interviews of 8 trans*people. The narratives were grouped into 4 categories: sexual citizenship, gender identity and expression, contexts, as well as exclusion and violence. It was identified that the difficulties and the opportunities for exercising the right to gender identity and expression are reproduced mainly in educational, family and work contexts, which contributes to scenarios of social exclusion as well as fringe attempts of inclusión throughout life. Furthermore, inclusion and belonging continue to be problematic in the legal, economic, and political spheres. Finally, the challenges of the recognition of trans * identities by the State in the mexican context are discussed. |
