The following investigation explored the relation between right wing authoritarianism (RWA) and social dominance (SDO) levels with the attitudes towards transgender people among physicians as well as general people in Metropolitan Lima. The sample consisted on 213 participants whom 51% were physicians or medicine students whilst 49% were from other professional careers. In both groups the negative attitudes towards transgender people was evaluated with an instrument adapted from its original version for this context: The Transgender Attitudes and Beliefs Scale (TABS); while the measurement of the variables of political ideology was made with The Right-Wing Authoritarianism Scale and The Social Dominance Scale, both validated in south american context. Results indicated an inverse correlation between the variables of political ideology and the positive attitudes towards transgender people in the two groups; however, after deeper analysis the variables of sex and profession became relevant since women physicians showed less negative attitudes and were less authoritarian, possibly due the more egalitarian context where they unfold.
