Odzyskiwanie głosu – zmiana paradygmatu w badaniu transpłciowości
Voice recovery – paradigm shift in transgender research

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to show how scientific analyses of transsexuality have changed over recent years, and how the two types of discourses on transsexuality/ transgender, i.e. medical and social, clash with each other. The result of this clash is a departure from treating transsexuality as a purely medical phenomenon classified as a deviation from the norm. I will also consistently use a range of terms showing there has been a transformation in the approach to the phenomenon being described – from transsexualism, through transsexuality, to contemporary terms such as trans person/ people with transsexuality. The change in the terminology reflects a perceptible shift in the paradigm.
