Visibilización de las personas trans en los medios de comunicación en la prensa digital durante los juegos olímpicos tokio 2020

Abstract

Trans people are part of our society in all areas of daily life, professionally, educationally and especially in the sporting field. Considering that the LGBTIQ+ Plus population represents 1.6% overall in Colombia (DANE, 2021). They have always been a social group that has received all types of criticism, attacks and marginalization, ignoring and depriving them of spaces due to their gender identity status within our society. Leading to the transphobic impact with hetero-normative and patriarchal guidelines, being a strong weight whose consequence falls on denying the process of integration of Trans people in sports disciplines. In which, the associated media replicate discriminatory discourses in their news under the umbrella of impartiality and making it impossible to construct identities and respect for them.
