摘要

变性人在高温期间感到闷热、窒息、出汗和虚弱的多感官体验是医学人类学和热舒适研究中一个严重不足的领域。本文通过与健康和热舒适研究的交叉，为湿热人类学做出了贡献。通过对 2021 年和 2022 年在里约热内卢的三名变性女性进行虚拟人种学研究，研究揭示了由于不安全的生活条件、性别确认改造的副作用以及社会歧视，城市中的变性女性面临着更高的热应激和热不适风险。这些发现突出表明，迫切需要解决变性人在获得热安全方面面临的具体挑战，并强调了考虑其独特需求的重要性。

Thermal comfort and gender affirmation: A virtual ethnography of extreme heat among trans women in Rio de Janeiro

The multisensory experience of feeling hot, breathless, sweaty, and weak during heat spells among transgender people is a critically understudied area in both medical anthropology and thermal comfort research. This article contributes to the anthropology of heat and humidity by intersecting with health and thermal comfort studies. Through virtual ethnography with three trans women in Rio de Janeiro in 2021 and 2022, the research reveals that trans women in the city face heightened risks of heat stress and thermal discomfort due to unsafe living conditions, side effects of gender-affirming modifications, and social discrimination. These findings highlight the urgent need to address the specific challenges transgender individuals face in accessing thermal safety and underscore the importance of considering their unique needs.

期刊介绍： Social Science & Medicine provides an international and interdisciplinary forum for the dissemination of social science research on health. We publish original research articles (both empirical and theoretical), reviews, position papers and commentaries on health issues, to inform current research, policy and practice in all areas of common interest to social scientists, health practitioners, and policy makers. The journal publishes material relevant to any aspect of health from a wide range of social science disciplines (anthropology, economics, epidemiology, geography, policy, psychology, and sociology), and material relevant to the social sciences from any of the professions concerned with physical and mental health, health care, clinical practice, and health policy and organization. We encourage material which is of general interest to an international readership.
