Abstract

Norma Mejia’s Transgenerismos (2006) was the first Phd dissertation about transsexuality defended in Spain by a trans person. Nevertheless, the text has an added value as it can also be read as an autobiography because of its textual characteristics. This paper focuses on the possibilities of that reading, based on the shifts produced by the anthropological methodology to which the author is adscribed: the autoethnography. In addition, we would show the mechanisms used by Mejía in order to dialogue, in her writing, with both discourses: literary and academic.
