摘要 近年來臺灣的跨性別法律倡議團體針對性別認證制度,採取司法訴訟的挑戰行動,期望藉此制度內抵抗以改善其在結構中的處境。法意識研究從人際互動的實踐出發指出,行動者往往難以真正抵抗法律性結構,反而可能在無意間重現甚至鞏固霸權結構。儘管已有文獻肯定主體能動的可能,卻較少深入探討行動為何無法撼動法律性霸權的根本原因。本文透過對八位跨性別者的深度訪談,分析他們作為邊緣群體的社會實踐、其法律性霸權的建構機制、以及在嘗試改變這些實踐時所面對的結構性困境。 本文發現,跨性別者處於制度的邊緣位置,其資源、社會處境與語言框架皆受限,難以有效挑戰法律性結構。在日常生活中,他們持續面對「可見性」的挑戰,時時思索如何展現其性別認同與性別表現。儘管社會已有發展出各種法律抵抗的論述,法律性卻往往以更細緻且壓迫性的方式滲透進他們的生活經驗之中。本文的研究成果補充了關於法律性「難以抵抗」的文獻觀點,指出跨性別者的法意識是在日常社會互動與文化圖式中被鍛造的,因而在嘗試挑戰制度時,常陷入內在矛盾、語言困境與社會脈絡的重重阻力。此一發現有助於深化對法律如何形塑社會邊緣者處境的理解,並為思索跨性別者在抵抗困難之中,如何尋求新的法律實踐與行動可能,提供理論與經驗上的基礎。
In recent years, transgender advocacy groups in Taiwan have increasingly turned to judicial litigation to challenge the gender recognition regime, seeking to resist structural marginalization from within the legal system. Legal consciousness studies, grounded in everyday interactions, suggest that actors often find it difficult to resist the structural power of legality, and may even unintentionally reproduce or reinforce hegemonic structures. While existing literature has acknowledged the potential for agentic resistance, few studies have deeply examined why such resistance so often fails to disrupt legal hegemony. This study draws on in-depth interviews with eight transgender individuals to analyze their social practices as marginalized subjects, the mechanisms through which legal hegemony is constructed, and the structural constraints they face in attempting to change these practices. The findings show that transgender people, situated at the periphery of institutional frameworks and facing limitations in resources, social positioning, and discursive tools, find it exceedingly difficult to challenge the structural force of legality. In their everyday lives, they continuously confront the challenges of “visibility,” negotiating how to express their gender identity and expression. Despite the emergence of various narratives of legal resistance, legality often infiltrates their lived experiences in more subtle and coercive ways. This study contributes to the literature on the “intractability” of legality by illustrating how transgender legal consciousness is forged within daily interactions and cultural schemas. As a result, attempts to resist the system are often met with internal contradictions, discursive limitations, and layered social resistance. These insights deepen our understanding of how law shapes the lives of socially marginalized groups and provide both theoretical and empirical grounding for exploring new forms of legal practice and possibilities for action amid conditions of legal resistance.
