Abstract
La sexualidad es uno de los aspectos que estructuran la personalidad. La persona transexual es aquella cuyo cuerpo tiene las características genético sexuales opuestas a las que considera adecuadas y verdaderas para ella. Su aspiración, ajena a cualquier psicopatología demostrable, será por tanto la de modificar su cuerpo para lograr la mejor armonía posible con su mente o, dicho en términos científicos, conseguir que su anatomía coincida lo más posible con su identidad de género. ¿Conoce la sociedad qué es una persona transexual, cual es su problemática, qué siente, dónde vive, a qué se dedica una mujer o un hombre transexual? Los medios de comunicación son el cauce a través del que nos informamos, recibimos conocimiento sobre lo que sucede en nuestro país y en el mundo. La actualidad, el día a día de lo que sucede podemos conocerlo, casi a tiempo real, a través de los medios de comunicación. Prensa escrita, radio, televisión, medios digitales y, el cine son básicos no sólo para que sepamos qué ocurre ahí fuera sino también para formarnos, educarnos y crear corrientes de opinión. El problema podría aparecer cuando esa información nos llega tergiversada, es decir, cuando la opinión o la ideología del informador se disfraza de información buscando un objetivo que puede ser el querer crear una opinión positiva o negativa sobre un determinado tema en el receptor, llámese lector, radioyente o espectador. También es posible “dirigir” a un público potencial simplemente obviando ciertos contenidos, es decir, haciendo desaparecer de los medios de comunicación aquellos temas que bien por ser minoritarios, bien por carecer de interés en un determinado momento, no se dan a conocer, como si sencillamente no existiesen de forma que, al no potenciar el interés del públic, éste desconoce la materia o, en su defecto, se acerca a ella de forma segmentada...
Sexuality is one of the characteristics that gives form to the personality. A transgender person is one whose body has the genetically opposite gender characteristics to what they consider appropriate and true to themselves. Their aspiration, oblivious to any demonstrable psychopathology, will therefore be to reform their body to achieve the best possible harmony with the mind or, in scientific terms, get their anatomy as much as possible to match their gender identity. Does society know what a transsexual person is? What is their problem? Do they feel? Where do they live? What does a woman or a transsexual man do? The media is a channel through which we learn, we receive news about what happens in our country and the world. Through the media we get todaýs news today, almost in real time. The press, radio, television, digital media and cinema are the medium for not only knowing what happens but also to form, educate and create prevailing opinion. A problem may occur when information becomes distorted, when the reported opinion or ideology disguises information seeking a goal that may be trying to create a positive or negative opinion on a given topic to the reader, listener or viewer. It is also possible to “steer” a potential audience by simply ignoring certain content, for example, blurring media topics that might be of less interest at the time and is therefore not disclosed - like it simply did not exist. By not promoting it to the public it́s an unknown matter or alternatively the media approaches it in a disjointed way...
