This article offers an analysis of the identity work of a black transgender woman through life history research. Identity work pertains to the ongoing effort of authoring oneself and positions the individual as the agent; not a passive recipient of identity scripts. The findings draw from three life history interviews. Using thematic analysis, the following themes emerge: institutionalisation of gender norms; gender and sexuality unintelligibility; transitioning and passing; and lastly, gender expression and public spaces. The discussion follows from a poststructuralist conception of identity, which frames identity as fluid and as being continually established. The study contends that identity work is a complex and fragmented process, which is shaped by other social identities. To that end, the study also acknowledges the role of collective agency in shaping gender identity.

En el proceso histórico actual, en que asistimos a una mayor visibilidad y una creciente conquista de derechos de las sexualidades no heterosexuales, surge la pregunta respecto al lugar del psicólogx en el proceso legal de cambio de identidad de género en Chile.Actualmente –sin la existencia de una Ley de Identidad de Género– el psicólogx es consultadx por los jueces en su opinión profesional para decidir sobre la autorización o no al cambio de identidad de género de una determinada persona, al considerarlxs interlocutorxs válidxs para sancionar si una persona “es lo que dice ser”, como si la psicología tuviera una respuesta ante la pregunta de qué es una mujer o qué es un hombre. Críticos del operar actual de la psicología en esta materia, se propone en cambio, un rol del psicólogx que permita pensar la psicología fuera del control social al que ha sido relegada en esta materia, siendo capaz de dar cuenta de los procesos de desigualación operantes y sus efectos en la subjetividad. In the current historical process, where we are witnessing a greater visibility and a growing conquest of rights of non-heterosexual sexualities, the question arises as to the place of the psychologist in the legal process of gender identity change in Chile.Currently –without the existence of a Gender Identity Law– the psychologist is consulted by the judges in their professional opinion to decide on the authorization or not to change the gender identity of a particular person, considering the valid interlocutors to sanction if a person “is what it claims to be,” as if psychology ad an answer to the question of what a woman is or what a man is. Critics of the current operation of psychology in this matter, however, proposes a role of psychology that allows psychology to think outside of social control that hasbeen relegated in this matter, being able to account for the processes of inequality operative and Its effects on subjectivity.
