Abstract:
:The aim was to compare body image concern and gender identities between post-operative transgender and cisgender persons. Participants included 48 transgender persons (25 trans men, 23 trans women) and 48 cisgender persons (24 cismen, 24 ciswomen). The data were collected with Littleton's Body Image Concern Inventory and the Singapore Androgyny Inventory. Results showed that body image concern was significantly higher in transgender participants compared to cisgender participants, and these scores were especially higher in trans women compared to other groups. Furthermore, trans women scored higher in the femininity subscale compared to ciswomen. Body image concern was also higher in participants with feminine gender identity compared to participants with masculine gender identity (whether they were transgender or not). Moreover, transgender persons with traditional gender identity had higher scores in body image concern in comparison to those who had nontraditional identities, as well as trans men had more Androgynous or undifferentiated identities than trans women. We also found a significant correlation between feminine subscale and body image concern. Based on our results, it seems hormonal and surgical treatments in transgender persons only can eliminate body dissatisfaction to a certain extent. The higher scores of trans women, both in body image concern and femininity, indicate that it may be harder for trans women to believe they are perceived as female by others and their bodies are adequate. Changing cultural beliefs, social values, and increasing social acceptance with the help of the media may play an important role in improving body image in the future.
