Abstract of the text: “Flipped Examination Room – Ascriptions of Vulnerability Between Trans Patients and Their Healthcare Providers" by Felix L. Ihrig (Department of Sociology, University of Vienna, Austria), Flora Löffelmann (Department of Philosophy, University of Vienna, Austria), Jojo Steininger (Clinical Division of Paediatric Pulmonology, Allergology and Endocrinology, Medical University of Vienna, Austria) in the European Journal of Health Communication. Abstract: The history of pathologisation has left traces in trans healthcare contexts, especially barriers to receiving healthcare. These can be explained with theories of biopower—the disciplining of non-normative bodies, which often results in breached boundaries and repudiation of agency. Embedded in frameworks of Institutional Ethnography and Community-Based Participatory Research, we analysed recordings from one trans Community Team discussion (N = three) and one training session for healthcare providers (HCPs; N = eight) with Charmaz’ Grounded Theory. In this exploratory phase of an ongoing research project, we investigated current practices and underlying beliefs about “trans-sensitive healthcare” in Austria. By depicting trans patients as vulnerable, some HCPs practice benevolent pathologisation. Yet, negotiations of intimacy and responsibility along with power imbalances can render both parties vulnerable. HCPs’ own vulnerability frequently stems from knowledge gaps and expectations concerning expertise and authority. We conclude that a caring and transparent approach to contextual vulnerabilities in interactions between trans patients and HPCs is paramount. The notion of caring encounters, where being uncertain is not a flaw but a mere fact of human existence, is a transformative perspective. By offering their support to HCPs, trans people extend their circle of care and imagine a society built on compassion.
Abstract of the text: "On the backs of others. Negotiations of trans solidarity in sociology and activism" by Felix Lene Ihrig, Boka En, Flora Löffelmann, Surya Monro, River Újhadbor in The European Sociologist. Panics and negotiations For this text to come into existence, ‘intricate negotiations of solidarity’ had to become not only our topic but our ‘doing’ as well. To be able to write about it, we had to ask ourselves what solidarity might entail and what its differing yet overlapping interpretations in academia and activism might mean. By presenting our reflections here, we want to bring those two areas together and pass our questions on to readers who are involved in sociology, especially those who work on trans topics. Specifically, we ask how the rights of some members of marginalised groups are played off against those of other marginalised people. We ask about how moral panics concerning sex and gender are implicated in these processes in sociological research and academic work. Finally, we ask what epistemic duties we as social researchers may have in the face of marginalisation and injustice.
