Abstract

The article analyzes the concept of gender identity. It considers implementation of the possibility to choose one’s gender identity and the consequences of such choice for individuals in modern Russian society. In addition, the author notes that the problem of social exclusion of transgender people is associated with a negative attitude of the society towards them due to the low awareness of the population of transgender people in general; low qualifications of state and social workers, as well as the lack of a base protecting the rights of trans people; the lack of state social policy aimed at ensuring the full participation of transgender people in all areas of social activity: civil, economic and political. The article also analyzes the empirical indicators of sociological studies conducted in 2016 and 2018, characterizing the social status and confessional self-identification of transgender people in Russia. The problem of possible confessional exclusion is connected, first of all, with the fact that the position of world religions and some religious organizations in relation to transgender people is negative.
