Aportaciones críticas y despatologizantes en la evaluación psicológica de la diversidad de género
Barra lateral del artículo
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
El énfasis de la psicología en la vivencia individual ha generado prototipos idealizados sobre la identidad de género, promulgados a través de las herramientas tradicionales de evaluación psicológica. Las personas transgénero y género no-conforme se han visto presionadas a encajar en las concepciones binarias de dichas evaluaciones, hasta la reciente despatologización aprobada por la Organización Mundial de la Salud. En el presente trabajo teórico se examina cómo se fueron transformando los discursos sobre la diversidad de género y la corporalidad en psicología. Para ello, se apela a cuatro argumentos: la movilización activista contra las definiciones homogéneas de lo trans, la aplicabilidad de las categorías de los sistemas taxonómicos, las resistencias contra las escalas de validez de los test psicométricos y, por último, cuestiones de adaptación intercultural de términos, mediciones y concepciones del cuerpo y la identidad de género.
