The aim of this qualitative study was to describe the characteristics of the construction of gender identity in a group of nine “masculine women” convicted for criminal offenses. This data was gathered using a semi-structured interview. Three areas were prioritized: a) the conceptions of gender identity, b) experiences in the development of gender identity, and c) Influence of the prison in gender identity. Currently there are no investigations in Peru about gender identity nor the problems in this group of women within the prison environment. We sought to understand the particularity of gender performativity and how masculinity in a biological woman's body influences her relationships with others, particularly within the prison environment, where restrictiveness and heteronormativity prevail.
