This study explores the social impact on transmen and transwomen, focusing on their experiences with societal stigma, family acceptance, and identity affirmation. Transgender individuals often encounter rejection and misunderstanding. This research centers their voices to better understand their lived realities. To examine how societal, familial, and psychological factors influence the lives of transmen and transwomen, and to identify patterns of struggle and resilience in their journeys. A qualitative design was used with semi-structured interviews. Twenty participants (10 transmen, 10 transwomen) were interviewed via phone. Rapport was established, participants were informed of the study's aim, and verbal consent was obtained for audio recording. Transcripts were analyzed thematically. Key topics included identity, family, society, dysphoria, and aspirations. Early gender non-conformity was noted in 9 transmen and 8 transwomen. Identity development emerged gradually, with 7 individuals in each group labeling their identity over time. Family acceptance differed: 5 transmen had supportive families versus only 2 transwomen. Family pressure affected 8 transwomen and 5 transmen. Misidentification and harassment were common—reported by 8 transmen and 9 transwomen—with transwomen facing more bullying (8 cases). Emotional distress was high in both groups: 7 transmen and 8 transwomen. Resilience was more evident in transmen (8 cases), while 6 transwomen reported fear and hiding their identity. Most participants (10 transmen, 9 transwomen) expressed a stable sense of being transgender, though transwomen were more uncertain about marriage. Body dysphoria and safety concerns were more pronounced among transwomen. Both transmen and transwomen navigate significant challenges, but transwomen face higher levels of familial rejection and social vulnerability. These findings underscore the need for inclusive policies and targeted support systems that reflect the specific needs of different transgender identities.
