Transgender studies have emerged as a highly important academic and social field in recent decades. As society moves towards a broader and more respectful understanding of gender diversity, transgender studies play a critical role in exploring and analyzing the experiences of transgender people, as well as in disarticulating binary norms and gender stiffness. Transgender studies have evolved from gender and feminism studies, which questioned traditional power structures and the binary gender divide. As the voices of transgender people began to gain visibility, the field of transgender studies emerged to address the unique experiences, challenges, and struggles they face. It is an interdisciplinary field spanning sociology, psychology, anthropology, cultural studies, and more, with the goal of examining the social and cultural constructions of gender and their impact on the lives of transgender people.
