This study analyzes some of the alternatives that certain men use as a means to challenge and redefine the place hitherto occupied by the hegemonic idea of masculinity. One of the major difficulties involved in this personal and social process, both external and internal, concerns the conflict with men who cling to a monolithic idea of masculinity. Moving away from the traditional model involves confrontations in multiple senses. With a methodology based on autobiographies, we observe how five men selected for the diversity of their characteristics reconstruct their life stories and critically reflect on their bodies and their assigned, perceived, and transformed gender.
