This article seeks to understand the experiences of transgender women in relation to the hormone therapy and sex reassignment surgery that make up the Gender Reassignment Process.
It is a qualitative study inserted into the field of cultural and gender studies. Data collection used narrative interviews, conducted in 2010 and 2011, with seven transsexual women who had been undergoing the Gender Reassignment Process for at least two years. The data was submitted to a thematic analysis.
The results show that the transformation processes for construction of the female body include behavior adaptation, posture modification, voice modulation, hormone use, vaginal canal dilation and surgical complications. Such processes subject the body to be built as idealized to fit the gender identity, infringing on pleasures and afflictions.
We concluded that the discussion involving the Gender Reassignment Process brings allowances for nursing regarding body changes experienced by transgender women.
本文旨在了解跨性别女性在构成性别重置过程的激素治疗和性别重置手术方面的经历。
这是一项纳入文化和性别研究领域的定性研究。数据收集采用叙事访谈法，于2010年和2011年对7名接受性别重置过程至少两年的变性女性进行了访谈。数据进行了主题分析。
结果表明，构建女性身体的转变过程包括行为适应、姿势改变、声音调节、激素使用、阴道扩张和手术并发症。这些过程使要构建的身体符合理想化的性别认同，侵犯了愉悦和痛苦。
我们得出结论，涉及性别重置过程的讨论为护理跨性别女性所经历的身体变化提供了依据。
