Barone, M. A. (2020). Gestating and Aborting for Trans Men: A Review of Scientific Literature. REVISTA CONTROVERSIA, (215), 43-73. https://doi.org/10.54118/controver.vi215.1209
Abstract
In this article, we present a review of the research available in the literature on gestation and abortion processes in trans men, based on a search in databases such as PsyeINFO and Scielo, for standardized terms such as pregnancy, abortion, trans men, transgender, tranny. This literature review is part of my doctoral thesis, not yet completed, entitled "Transborder Narratives: experiences of trans people, from pregnancy and abortion practices", within the framework of a Postgraduate degree in the area of Psychology. In this way, publications are selected that consider psychological or social aspects of the subject, with approaches from the health area to studies closer to the human and social sciences, in order to identify studies related to this subject. In this way, it is observed that most of the references are from the last ten years. However, it is worth noting a lack of research on abortion and trans men.
