The paper discusses transformation of professional identity of individuals who have chosen work activity that is not traditional for their gender. Participants of our research are male social workers in Lithuania. The study on change of professional identity of male social workers presented in this article has revealed that the process of becoming a social worker among males is a sequence of complex decisions and experiences accompanied by critical incidents and changes in their life trajectories and learning careers. Trajectories of educational experience and life events of the research participants have revealed the choice in favour of non-traditional occupation as a defeat of traditional gender division of labour by opposing to “normality” – by undergoing and overcoming the crisis. One of interesting aspects of analysis is the issue of experiences occurring in the course of deviation from standardized, predetermined and preset life journey, i.e. normative biography. Such a complexity is caused by ideal norms of hegemonic masculinity that frame actual social structures and are introduced into the processes of socialization and habituation with the aim to form dominant masculine habitus. Analysis of biographical narratives of male social workers have disclosed learning careers and at the same time the balancing of the males between the normative trajectory of masculine behaviour and striving to find their own “self ”.

The article is set in the theoretical framework of feminist sociology and transgender studies. The author addresses the issue of transgender identity in the context of gender socialisation understood as a process which has real impact on the diagnosis of transgenderism, as well as on the life trajectory, including interests and career choices of transgender people. The article is based on the results of a close analysis of 18 narrative interviews with transgender women. In the first part the author interrogates such issues as: socialisation, gender socialisation, gender identity, and transgenderism. Particular attention will be paid to the phenomenon of passing – a term which functions both in the jargon of transgender people and in scientific literature. The second part of the article demonstrates the results of studies concerning the meaning of socialisation to the gender assigned at birth and transgender women’s attitudes towards gender roles, in particular towards the idea of passing.

Artykuł osadzony jest w teoretycznej ramie socjologii feministycznej i transgender studies. Autorka odnosi się do problematyki transpłciowości w kontekście socjalizacji płciowej jako procesu realnie wpływającego na diagnozowanie transpłciowości, a także na przebieg życia, w tym na zainteresowania i wybory zawodowe osób transpłciowych. Tekst powstał w oparciu o wyniki analizy 18 wywiadów narracyjnych z transpłciowymi kobietami. W pierwszej części przedstawiono kwestie socjalizacji, socjalizacjipłciowej, tożsamości płciowej oraz transpłciowości, w nawiązaniu do podstawowych stanowisk teoretycznych. Szczególną uwagę poświęcono zjawisku passingu – termin ten funkcjonuje zarówno w żargonie osób transpłciowych, jak i w literaturze naukowej. W drugiej części tekstu ukazano wyniki analiz, dotyczących znaczenia przeciwnej do płci odczuwanej socjalizacji płciowej oraz stosunku transpłciowych kobiet do ról płciowych, w szczególności do idei passingu.
