Abstract

Abstract Masculinity is a construct associated with cisgender men; however, transgender men also perform masculinities. This study aimed to synthesize, analyze, and reinterpret the findings of primary qualitative studies about transgender men’s experience of masculinity. The research question developed through the SPIDER strategy was: What is the qualitative evidence of masculinity performed by transgender men? Eighteen studies involving over 200 transgender men between the ages of 19 and 65 were selected. Three descriptive themes emerged: “Bodily performance of masculinity,” “Social performances of masculinity,” and “Sexualities.” Analytical themes were generated: “The appearance of masculinity” and “Far beyond appearance”. The results point to complementary experiences of masculinity: concerning physical appearance and body modifications; and the practices contesting the hegemonic masculinity standard. The experience of masculinities is outlined by body changes, culminating in the passability and social recognition of the transgender man.

跨性别男性表现出的男子气概:定性证据和元合成

男性气质是与顺性男性相关的一个构念;然而，跨性别男性也表现出男子气概。本研究旨在综合、分析并重新诠释跨性别男性男子气概体验的初步定性研究结果。通过蜘蛛策略发展出来的研究问题是:跨性别男性表现出男子气概的定性证据是什么?18项研究涉及200多名年龄在19岁到65岁之间的变性男性。三个描述性主题出现了:“男子气概的身体表现”、“男子气概的社会表现”和“性行为”。分析性的主题产生了:“阳刚之气的外表”和“远远超越外表”。结果指出了男性气质的互补体验:关于外表和身体修饰;以及挑战男性霸权标准的行为。男子气概的经历是由身体的变化勾勒出来的，最终是变性人的可通过性和社会认可。
