VALDIVIA, PABLO  and  BOEGEHOLZ, ROSMERY-ANN. Trans Cultural Narratives: Legal Mediations, Instagram and the Mirror Syndrome. Inmediac. Comun [online]. 2023, vol.18, n.1, pp.115-144.  Epub June 01, 2023. ISSN 1510-5091.  https://doi.org/10.18861/ic.2023.18.1.3382.

The main objective of this article is to explore the transgender cultural configurations in recent legal frameworks from Spain and Chile. This research investigates how cultural narratives of transgender mediations cope, shape and are enactively shaped by these representative normative texts. Besides, this study is based on a mixed research methodological approach providing qualitative and quantitative insight into the conceptual architecture of the two norms analysed. Our findings are landed on transgender people mediations in Instagram and the phenomenon called Mirror Syndrome. Finally, our article aims to establish a fruitful discussion on how better-informed decisions, based on higher situational and system awareness, can contribute to centering the current and future legal developments and support citizens' equity and well-being at the core of future human rights-focused policy recommendations.
