description The issue of sexual diversity calls on society to reflect, recognise and accept other gender identities and their expressions. In this sense, the aim of this research is to recognise the most frequent psycho-emotional alterations of a transgender person during their gender transition between the ages of 10 and 19. The research process is framed within the qualitative approach and the documentary review methodology was used. The results showed that the emotional alterations in transgender people are not due to gender dysphoria, as it is not a pathology. In this sense, they are a product of the constant discrimination and abuse they face. Among the most frequent emotional disorders are depression, anxiety and stress. The importance of the family context as one of the most influential factors in shaping an adequate gender transition process is also discussed.

El proceso investigativo se enmarca en el enfoque  cualitativo y se utilizó la metodología de revisión documental. Como resultados se evidenció que las alteraciones emocionales en las personas transgénero no son a causa de la disforia de género, ya que  no es una patología. En este sentido, son producto de las constantes discriminaciones y abusos a los que se enfrentan. Dentro de los trastornos emocionales más frecuentes se encuentran la depresión, la ansiedad y el estrés. También se expone la importancia del contexto familiar como uno de los factores más influyentes para la conformación de un adecuado proceso de transición de género.
