transgender and transsexual prisoners  

Définition

  • Transgender and transsexual people are individuals whose sex (physical) and gender (self-identity and social identity) are not always congruent. Although the number of transgender or transsexual (“trans”) prisoners in correctional systems across the United States is small, this population is of interest because these individuals are at a substantially high risk of assault and/or self-harm.
