Transgender Italy (2023-2024)

The Transgender Italy dataset was produced as part of an Italian Master's thesis project entitled "Transgender: a quantitative look at discrimination, gender affirmation, and life satisfaction". The project had a twofold objective: on the one hand, to provide a quantitative description of the experiences of Italian transgender people in terms of discrimination, gender affirmation path and self-determination; on the other hand, to study the effect of the gender affirmation path on transgender people's satisfaction, taking into account the dimension of self-determination and the heterogeneity of experiences. The dataset includes data collected through an online questionnaire administered to 132 Italian transgender adults. Given the characteristics of the target population, sampling is not probabilistic. The questions are divided into four sections: - demographic information: age, place of residence, education, employment status and economic condition; - discrimination experienced as a transgender person: in general terms and in seven specific areas of social life; - path to gender affirmation; - quality of social relations and the attachment to the transgender community.

意大利跨性别者数据集（Transgender Italy Dataset）系以《跨性别群体：从量化视角审视歧视、性别肯定（gender affirmation）与生活满意度》为主题的意大利硕士学位论文研究项目的产出成果。本研究项目兼具双重目标：其一，从歧视经历、性别肯定路径与自我决定（self-determination）维度出发，对意大利跨性别群体的生活体验开展量化描述；其二，结合自我决定维度与体验异质性特征，探究性别肯定路径对跨性别者生活满意度的影响效应。
本数据集包含通过向132名意大利成年跨性别者发放的线上问卷所采集的数据。鉴于目标人群的特殊性，本次抽样采用非概率抽样方式。
问卷内容共分为四个模块：
1. 人口统计学信息：年龄、居住地、受教育程度、就业状态与经济状况；
2. 跨性别者所经历的歧视：涵盖一般性歧视与七个具体社会生活领域的歧视；
3. 性别肯定路径；
4. 社会关系质量与对跨性别社群的归属感。
