metadata.value: An attempt has been made to study the experiences of transgender people in the conditions of
  their living in a critical life situation (transgender transition). The study included conducting
  and analyzing a semi-structured interview, as well as collecting and analyzing quantitative data
  using an author’s questionnaire compiled on the basis of content analysis of interview texts.
  10 transgender people (average age 21.2 years) took part in the interview, 285 transgender people (average age 21.21 years) took part in the survey. The analysis of the phenomenology
  of experiences and subsequent verification by mathematical methods (hierarchical clustering
  and the Mann — Whitney U criterion for independent samples) made it possible to identify
  and describe two types of experiences of transgender people: “open to self-search” (81 people)
  and “avoidant” (204 people). “Open to self-search” transgender people more often gave high
  marks to positive states and emotions about transgender transition, noted the experience of
  community with transgender people. In the process of transgender transition, new meanings
  were produced: cognition, acceptance and self-development; life planning and the importance
  of building future goals; professional development. Family, partner and friendly support were
  assessed by them as positive or favorable social factors. “Avoidant” transgender people more
  often noted negative states and emotions about transgender transition, and avoidance of communication
  with people. They note the experiences associated with doubts and assessment of
  the correctness of the transgender transition, with excitement about the reactions of people
  around them to transgender status, with a feeling of loneliness among cisgender people. The
  negative attitude of the family, loved ones and others, as well as discrimination in public places
  were considered as interfering with the transgender transition and life in general. This study
  serves as an attempt to phenomenologically describe the experiences of transgender people
  accompanying a transgender transition, as well as to identify differences in them.
