Les jeunes trans vivent à la fois de l'homophobie et de la transphobie à l'école. D'une part, ces jeunes sont souvent étiquetés comme gais ou lesbiennes à cause de leur expression de genre atypique et subissent ainsi des attitudes et des comportements homophobes de la part de leurs pairs, et parfois même du personnel scolaire. D'autre part, ils sont confrontés à des difficultés spécifiques à leur situation(changement de prénom, obligation de s’identifier en fonction du sexe assigné à la naissance, carte étudiante, utilisation des toilettes et vestiaires, etc.). 2, record 1, French, - jeune%20transgenre

género: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que en sociología, tal como aclara el "Diccionario panhispánico de dudas", el vocablo "género" tiene el significado de "categoría sociocultural que implica diferencias o desigualdades de índole social, económica, política, laboral, etc.", un sentido que en el ámbito de los estudios sociológicos puede resultar útil e, incluso, necesario. [...] No es incorrecto, por tanto, hablar de "violencia de género", "estudios de género" o "identidad de género", pero se recomienda restringir su uso a los estudios sociológicos. 3, record 10, Spanish, - trastorno%20de%20identidad%20de%20g%C3%A9nero

igualdad de género: [No confundir los términos "igualdad de género" y "equidad de género"] En teoría, "equidad" e "igualdad" son dos principios estrechamente relacionados, pero distintos. La "equidad" introduce un principio ético o de justicia en la igualdad. [...] El concepto de "igualdad de género" parte de la idea de que todas y todos somos iguales en derechos y oportunidades. La "igualdad" es una meta a conseguir. [...] Por "equidad de género" se entiende el trato imparcial entre mujeres y hombres, de acuerdo a sus necesidades respectivas, ya sea con un trato equitativo o con uno diferenciado pero que se considera equivalente en lo que se refiere a los derechos, los beneficios, las obligaciones y las posibilidades. 4, record 19, Spanish, - igualdad%20de%20g%C3%A9nero

La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que los términos "género" y "sexo" designan, en la lengua general, realidades distintas: "género" se refiere a la categoría gramatical de las palabras y "sexo" alude a la condición de los seres vivos por la que se distingue el macho de la hembra. Por otra parte, en sociología, tal como aclara el "Diccionario panhispánico de dudas", el vocablo género tiene el significado de ‘categoría sociocultural que implica diferencias o desigualdades de índole social, económica, política, laboral, etc.’, un sentido que en el ámbito de los estudios sociológicos puede resultar útil e, incluso, necesario. 5, record 19, Spanish, - igualdad%20de%20g%C3%A9nero
