A COLLABORATIVE LOOK INTO ISSUES FACING THE TRANS COMMUNITY IN LEBANON
In March 2020, a group of people with diverse gender experiences came together to kick off what would be the first research project entirely conceived and led by transfeminine, transmasculine and non-binary individuals living and having lived in Beirut. The research aimed to understand the status of trans people’s access to particular services, institutions and systems, which have a direct impact on wellbeing and bodily agency. By creating a space for collaborative knowledge production between community members, experts and researchers, this experimental and participatory approach attempted to bridge the gap between the research and the community, and to allow those typically in the position of “research subjects” to become co-producers of knowledge by contributing to defining the issue at stake.
