“Att bli felkönad är mycket mycket stressande”: En kombinerad kvantitativ och kvalitativ analys av unga trans*personers svar på frågor om upplevelse av hälsa och stress i vardagen i Folkhälsoenkät Barn och Unga i Skåne 2016

In this thesis I examine how young transgender respondents in the survey, " Folkhälsoenkät barn och unga i Skåne 2016 ” value their health and stress. A comparative quantitative analysis of cisgender and transgender respondents demonstrate that the transgender respondents, both binary and non binary, in general value their health less good than the cisgender respondents. A statistic analysis within the transgroup proclaims that health and stress is affected by assigned sex , as well as gender identity. Non binary respondents who was assigned female at birth is the group of respondents that value both health and stress the worst. To explore how the stress and lack of well being can be understood in relation to social norms of gender and gender identity, I combine the quantitative analysis with a qualitative thematic analysis, using central concepts of transgender studies, queer theory and the minority stress model as theoretical framework. The results indicates that cisnormativity, gender binaries and environmental stigmatization affects transgender people’s self-image, mental health and experience of school. Different groups among the transgender respondents indicates to be affected differently by these norms
