Author(s) Reuben Robert, Akshaya I

Abstract The objective of this study was to understand the lived experience of transgender women by exploring their journey of self-acceptance, development of gender identity, and perceptions of body positivity. This research followed a qualitative approach, and the data was obtained by conducting in-depth semi-structured interviews with 10 participants who identified as transgender women. The interviews were transcribed and the data was analyzed using Thematic Analysis. The themes that were identified were grouped into three categories that were Self-Acceptance, Gender Identity, and Body Positivity. The themes under Self-Acceptance were Influences on Self-Acceptance, Significant Conflicts, Challenges Encountered, Coping Strategies, and Embracing Acceptance. The themes identified under the Gender Identity were Development of Gender Identity, Self-Efficacy, and Medical Aspects. The themes identified under Body Positivity were Physical Dysphoria, Influence of the Male Gaze, Existential Angst, and Validation. These themes explain the lived experience of the participants as transgender women on their journey of self-acceptance, the development of their gender identity, and their perceptions and sense of body positivity.
