| Outline of Research at the Start |
The significance of this research project is in identifying how the transpinay entertainers’ migration process and gender practices address social issues on gender, labor, and migration, which continually question the host country’s strategies for governing migrants. The case of transpinay migrants challenges or legitimizes policies and practices navigated by the capitalist, colonial, racial, and sexual hegemonies crucial in queer migration. This study can raise awareness of transgender migrants and their needs.
|
| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Drawing on grounded theory, this study explores how the migration experiences of Filipino trans women or transpinay entertainers in Japan influence their gender and migration identities. It analyzes the narratives of transpinay using the conceptual framework of intersectional invisibility (Purdie-Vaughns & Eibach, 2008) and transnationalism. This study aims to develop a sociological theory that explains the gender and migration identities of transpinay in Japan and to understand how their experiences influence their gender affirmation.
