The aim of this study was to explore parent related autobiographical memories of trans experienced women retrospectively. The current study has an exploratory and qualitative design. The participants were trans experienced women including trans femme identified people, who lived and/or living in Turkey and older than eighteen years of age. Data was collected via online survey platform Qualtrics. Participants were asked to write down their parent related autobiographical memories in two separate sections. After that, with reference to the reflexive approach, thematic analysis has been performed. After the analysis was completed, six main themes were generated as maltreatment, supportive parental practices, turning points, experiencing gender, emphasis on adolescence and inner experience. Some patterns that were mostly emphasized in the autobiographical memories of participants were threats, parental control, acceptance, coming out, intense memory. The current study has made a unique contribution to the existing literature by exploring the parental autobiographical memories of trans experienced women by using a qualitative approach.

A Feminist Genealogy of the Lived Body? Rethinking the Gendered Body as a Site of Excess and Indeterminacy İbrahimhakkıoğlu, Fulden (2019-04-30) This essay offers a rethinking of the gendered body as both lived and historically constituted.
