Deltagarna bestod av transpersoner som hade haft minst en tidigare dissociativ upplevelse, vilken de sedan skulle beskriva under intervjun. Materialet analyserades genom realistiskt grundad tematisk analys där likheter som framträdde blanSeven interviews were conducted to explore how dissociation is experienced among transgender people and, if so, how dissociation is related to gender dysphoria. The participants consisted of transgender people who have had at least one dissociative experience, which they would then describe during the interview. The material was analyzed through a realistic thematic analysis, where similarities be
