- 'This family rejection harmed my health as well': Intersections between the meanings of family and health for trans people and family members in a trans healthcare service in Brazil(2022) PAULINO, Danilo Borges; PASTOR-VALERO, Maria; MACHIN, RosanaTransgender people deal with intense discrimination in every aspect of life. These experiences increase when they face family rejection. The research on social and family environment surrounding gender transition has been largely overlooked. We examine the meanings of family and health, and how these intersect, among trans people and their family members in a health service in Brazil. We conducted a qualitative study (between December 2017 and July 2018), an ethnography with the triangulation of three sources: interviews with 8 transgender men, 8 transgender women and 5 family members; a focus group with another 8 transgender men and approximately 100 h of field observation. Our study shows that family and health are interpreted as ideal protective environments, and seen as causes of disappointment, abandonment and illness. The meanings of family and health are interconnected and constituted in relation to each other. We also found that there are differences within these meanings of family and health when we consider the ethnicity and the economic status of the participants. The participants reported that the society education towards transsexuality is fundamental to improving trans people's quality of life. Our results challenge health services to provide comprehensive healthcare and assure health equity for transgender people.
- Reproducción transnacional con terceros: el mercado reproductivo en Brasil(2022) MACHIN, RosanaAbstract The expansion of assisted reproductive technologies has led to an increase in the mobility of people and genetic material on a global scale. Access to third party fertility is characteristic of this expansion. This context includes countries with different regulations and practices that imply different logics of mobility in a convergent, contradictory and interdependent way. It is a complex market, dependent on the reproductive work of women, whether it is paid work or not. To evaluate the situation of the sex cells market in Brazil, a study was carried out with a qualitative methodology and documentary analysis of the gamete import records. A total of 33 semistructured interviews were conducted with reproductive health professionals between 2016-2018. Among the main results, we highlight that the medical regulation adopted in the country, the existence of legal loopholes and the growing demand for gametes favored the increase in the importation of genetic material from semen banks in the United States and from egg banks in Spain. The different regulatory systems operating in these countries promote the sex cell market by reinforcing the business logic of the power of supply/demand.
article Virtualities and limits of life stories as the methodology in the study of activist women for sexual and reproductive rights in Brazil(2022) ABELIN, Paloma; MACHIN, RosanaThis article addresses the use of the methodology of life stories in research, based on a study that explored the militancy life experiences and claims of women in the field of sexual and reproductive rights in Brazil. Based on fieldwork carried out with five activist women, methodological aspects are problematized from the choice of participants, the meetings' relevant elements, its registration and result analysis. The contributions and limitations of its use in qualitative research are evaluated. The life stories' potency is directed towards the valorization of the trajectory of activist women and the memory in the paths related to the structure of feminist claims in the sphere of public health policies in Brazil.- La monoparentalidad femenina elegida en Brasil: estrategias reproductivas(2022) MACHIN, Rosana; WATARI, Fernanda Lye; COUTO, Marcia TherezaAbstract A growing phenomenon in several countries, maternal single parenting by choice is gaining momentum due to assisted reproductive technologies (ART), which enable women to become mothers using genetic material from third parties. We will investigate the reasons behind the choice to become a single mother through access to assisted reproductive technologies. This qualitative empirical study is supported by ten semi-structured interviews with women of childbearing age, residents of São Paulo state (SP), Brazil, who were seeking, undergoing or had undergone ART, with or without success. Participants were recruited using the snowball method and the number of interviews was limited via theoretical saturation. Reproductive strategies were influenced by social, political and economic aspects that determine individual reproductive decisions, such as treatment costs, legal regulations, choosing third party genetic material and the existing support network. Female autonomy and financial independence are factors that contribute to the choice to be a single mother. These women must navigate the prevailing social norms and values (which are culturally standardised) to overcome normative elements and modify social norms.
- Diversity and difference: health professional training challenges(2022) MACHIN, Rosana; PAULINO, Danilo Borges; PONTES, Julia Clara de; RODRIGUES, Raphaela Rezende NogueiraThis paper aims to discuss the issue of diversity from its incorporation into the training of health professionals through the analysis of the National Curriculum Guidelines (DCN) of two Brazilian undergraduate health courses: medi-cine and psychology. Thus, it debates the concept of diversity from the contribution of the social sciences, considering the multiple concepts in the nature of social and cultural differences, breaking with essentialist concepts of difference. Reflecting on how diversity appears in the curricular guide-lines of these courses, it analyzes from recent stud-ies how this has been considered in training and the main challenges. Intersectionality is an essen-tial political theoretical framework to apprehend the articulation of multiple differences and in-equalities acting in a dynamic, fluid, and flexible way from particular historical contexts. Thus, it is sensitive to address the issue of diversity in the training of health professionals. We highlight the importance of studying differences, suggesting an analytical framework that articulates discourses, practice, subjectivation, and social relationships.
