The purpose of this transcendental phenomenological study was to explore Black transgender men's experiences navigating systems of racism and transphobia. To this end, I utilized a critical race theory and intersectionality theory framework to answer the following question: What are Black transgender men's experiences with power, privilege, and oppression? The ten Black transgender men and transmasculine people who participated in this study provided detailed and moving accounts of their experiences with systems of oppression. Six major themes were prominent throughout participant narratives: (1) developing an empowered view of self, (2) navigating double consciousness, (3) having a target on your back, (4) strategies of resilience, (5) culture of silence, and (6) finding quality care. Overall, participants offered insight and keen awareness of their intersecting racial and gender identities, as well as speaking intimately about how the shift from societal perceptions and identification as a Black woman to a Black man impacted their sense of self and views of the world. Additionally, implications and conclusions drawn from the stories of participants offer recommendations for counselors, mental health professionals, practitioners, and programs to consider implementing to provide culturally responsive and competent care to Black transgender men.

As the rate of the murder of Black trans women at the hands of Black cisgender men rises steadily every year (HRC, 2017), discourses regarding the detrimental impact of toxic masculinity within Black communities continue to increase within different branches of feminist literature. However, the role that Black cisgender women and toxic femininity play in the violent and systematic subjugation of Black trans women is largely ignored in feminist literature. In this thesis, I conduct a cultural analysis of the representations of the Black trans character Cotton Brown (from the Fox show Star) to examine how the show illustrates toxic femininity and complex intersections of race, class, gender, and sexuality. Through a cultural analysis and review of current literature, I bridge the gap between the representation of cultural politics in Star, literature regarding the same cultural politics, and the realities of the lives of Black trans women in the United States. I argue that Black cisgender women and toxic femininity play significant roles in sociocultural understandings of sexuality and gender identity within Black American communities, as well as the facilitation of violent transphobia that specifically targets Black trans women.

This is a comparative study between binary and nonbinary transgender people based on their everyday experience of difficulties. Previous studies show that many transpeople experience violence, infringement and oppression. Studies also show that suicide rate among transgender people is much higher than among the common (cisgender) population. Those studies rarely make an analysis based on specific gender identity, which shows the diversity among transgender people.To analyse the individual experiences, this study made four interviews with binary and nonbinary transgender people. The interviews were analysed with a queer-theoratical perspective to show and focus on the oppressional mechanics that heteronormativity has. The results show clear differences and similarities between binary and nonbinary transgender people's experiences of everyday life difficulties and oppression. Nonbinary transgender people elucidate their nonexistence in the majorities knowledge as a big difficulty; that people in their everyday surroundings and society in general are not aware of them. Binary transgender people's experiences have instead been focusing on their bodies and social context of their transitions. / Denna studie avser att undersöka och jämföra transpersoners erfarenheter kring svårigheter i vardagen. Jämförelsen görs mellan binära och ickebinära transpersoner. Tidigare forskning visar att många transpersoner blir utsatta för våld, kränkningar och förtryck. Den visar även att självmordsfrekvensen bland transpersoner är mycket högre än hos populationen i övrigt. I dessa undersökningar kring transpersoners hälsa och situation görs det sällan eller aldrig analyser baserade på den mångfald gällande identitet som finns inom gruppen transpersoner. För att undersöka dessa individuella erfarenheter genomfördes ett antal intervjuer med binära och ickebinära transpersoner. Intervjuerna analyserades utifrån en queerteoretisk utgångspunkt för att belysa de förtryckande mekanismer som heteronormen medför. Resultatet visar att det finns tydliga likheter och skillnader i binära och ickebinära transpersoners erfarenheter kring svårigheter och förtryck. Ickebinära transpersoner tar upp omgivningens omedvetenhet kring deras existens som en stor svårighet, att personer i deras vardagliga omgivning och i samhället i stort inte känner till att de finns medan svårigheterna för binära transpersoner snarare har varit i förhållande till deras kroppar och sociala sammanhang.

When considering the school as a device to maintain the relations focused on power, their gender expressions were vital for this process to be put to practice in an even more intensified manner – sometimes they were made invisible, while others they were given extreme visibility in order to serve as examples of "abnormal" behavior/identity. The most recurrent disciplinary devices defined by gender during such narratives were related to the birth name, the school uniform, the collective restrooms and Physical Education classes. Several attempts of resisting such devices were observed, in addition to strategies aimed at “compensating” discrimination, such as being the best student in some subjects, being good at sports or seeking interpersonal relationships with other “rebellious” students in order to obtain acceptance and/or strength before normalizations. The symbolic violence was present by the use of sexist nicknames, both by students and teachers, who many times have endorsed such anti-social and violent behaviors in their most diverse forms against the interviewees. They were blamed, both by the teaching and managing entities, for the violence suffered. When the issue of “race” was inserted in the scenario – as in the case of two black interviewees – the violence suffered by them would become even more evident. The acknowledgement of their precariousness and vulnerability is necessary to foment the creation of specific public policies, by means of affirmative actions, aiming at removing them from the fringes of society and making their lives more livable. / Este trabalho analisa as narrativas que tratam das vivências escolares de seis travestis da cidade de Sorocaba-SP, partindo da perspectiva queer como inspiração de análise pela concepção de que as discriminações na escola estiveram centradas na manutenção da heteronormatividade enquanto processo disciplinador. Compreendendo a escola como um dispositivo da manutenção da relação de poder, suas expressões de gênero foram determinantes para que este processo fosse acionado de forma mais intensa - ora invisibilizando, ora dando extrema visibilidade para que servissem como exemplo de comportamentos/identidades “anormais”. Os dispositivos disciplinares generificados mais recorrentes nas narrativas foram relacionados ao nome civil, o uniforme escolar, o banheiro coletivo e as aulas de Educação Física. Foram observadas diversas tentativas de resistência a estes dispositivos, além de estratégias de "compensação" frente à discriminação, como ser a melhor aluna em algumas disciplinas, ser boa esportista ou buscar relacionamentos interpessoais com outros alunos "rebeldes", buscando aceitação e/ou fortalecimento frente às normatizações. A violência simbólica esteve presente por meio da atribuição de apelidos machistas, tanto por alunos quanto por professores, que muitas vezes apoiavam incivilidades e violências diversas contra as interlocutoras. Elas eram culpabilizadas, tanto pelo corpo docente quanto gestor, pelas violências sofridas. Quando o marcador de raça era acionado, como no caso de duas participantes negras, as violências se faziam mais presentes. O reconhecimento de suas precariedades e vulnerabilidades é necessário para a fomentação de políticas públicas específicas, por meio de ações afirmativas, com o objetivo de tirá-las das margens sociais e fazer com que suas vidas sejam mais vivíveis.

Mis objetivos se circunscriben a dos tipos de análisis: el principal, el de los usos del concepto de transfobia, u otro concepto analítico respecto a la violencia contra personas trans, en informes de violencia producidos por organizaciones del movimiento trans brasileño en el Brasil contemporáneo (especialmente desde la década de 2010), utilizando el análisis del discurso. El trabajo también alcanza otros análisis, a ejemplo de la apropiación creciente de la categoría trans (a través de o refiriéndose a transgénero o transgeneridad), así como categorías académicas importantes en nuestro campo de estudios como género y cuerpo. Considero importante también la elaboración de las claves conceptuales relacionando transgeneridad, estigma, abyección y transfobia. De la misma forma, estudio también de qué forma la precipitación e interés en el uso de esas nuevas categorías (transfobia y trans) tiene relación con la consolidación y maduración del movimiento trans brasileño, tras la fragmentación del movimiento homosexual de hace una o dos décadas y en un contexto de nuevas formas de activismo, como el activismo vía red mundial de computadoras (o ciberactivismo). / The present work aims to study sociologically some discussions and theoretical tensions within the new field that are transgender studies. My objectives are limited to two types of mapping: the main one, on the uses of the concept of transphobia, or another analytical concept regarding violence against trans people, in reports of violence produced by organizations of the Brazilian trans movement in the Contemporary Brazil (especially since the decade of 2010), using discourse analysis. The work additionally reaches other mappings, such as the increasing appropriation of the category trans (through or referring to transgender(ness) or transgenderism), as well as important academic categories in our field of studies such as gender and body. I also consider important the formulation of the conceptual keys relating transgenderness, stigma, abjection and transphobia. Likewise, I study how the precipitation and interest in the use of these new categories (transfobia and trans) is related to the consolidation and maturation of the Brazilian trans social movement, succeeding the fragmentation of the homosexual movement a decade or two ago, and in the context of new forms of activism, such as activism via the global computer network (or cyberactivism). / O presente trabalho tem por finalidade estudar sociologicamente algumas discussões e tensões teóricas dentro do novo campo que são os estudos transgêneros. Meus objetivos se circunscrevem a dois tipos de mapeamentos: o principal, dos usos do conceito de transfobia, ou outro conceito analítico a respeito da violência contra pessoas trans, em relatórios de violência produzidos por organizações do movimento trans brasileiro no Brasil contemporâneo (nomeadamente a partir da década de 2010), utilizando-me da análise do discurso. Figurando como objetivos secundários, porém caminhos necessários, o trabalho também alcança outros mapeamentos, a exemplo da apropriação crescente da categoria trans (através de ou referindo-se a transgênero ou transgeneridade), bem como categorias acadêmicas importantes no nosso campo de estudos como gênero e corpo. Considero importante igualmente a elaboração das chaves conceituais relacionando transgeneridade, estigma, abjeção e transfobia. Da mesma forma, estudo também de que forma a precipitação e interesse no uso dessas novas categorias (transfobia e trans) tem relação com a consolidação e amadurecimento do movimento trans brasileiro, após a fragmentação do movimento homossexual brasileiro uma ou duas décadas atrás e num contexto de novas formas de ativismo, como o ativismo via rede mundial de computadores (ou ciberativismo) .

This qualitative interview study was designed to explore with Trans-Spectrum college students, including graduates, current students, and dropouts, how they have conceptualized and made meaning of their experiences in traditionally Red States since the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election. This study resulted in recommendations that would enable administrators in both community colleges and four-year institutions to implement specific practices to improve learning environments and access to resources for Trans-Spectrum college students. The researcher based this study on three principal assumptions: (1) there is a population of Trans-Spectrum college students in these Red States. Although no data exist on the number of transgender students in higher education per state, these students must exist. (2) Trans-Spectrum college students in these Red States face an array of challenges every day both on and off campus from bullying and family struggles to financial struggles to suicidality. (3) The 2016 U.S. Presidential Election had a negative impact on these participants’ college experiences. Interviews conducted with 25 participants comprised the primary data for this study. Participants included students presently attending community college; students presently attending four-year institutions; recent graduates of both community colleges and four-year institutions; and students who departed college. A document review also yielded data. The findings regarding the experiences of Trans-Spectrum college students in Red States since the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election were: (1) A strong majority of participants described their overall college experiences as being shaped by an uncertain and unpredictable learning environment. (2) A strong majority of participants indicated that the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election had a compromising effect on their safety and well-being on campus and in their community. (3) All participants described experiencing issues related to access to resources, campus-wide illiteracy on trans issues, and race and gender identity, while an overwhelming majority of participants described having mental health issues. A strong majority reported incidents of being bullied on campus and in the college community. (4) An overwhelming majority of participants identified a support system as a significant factor in helping them learn to overcome their challenges. The key recommendations that emerged from this study were: (1) Community Colleges should create an Intake Form on which students have the option to self-identify in terms of sexual orientation and gender identity. This will enable these colleges to track data on completion, persistence, and retention of Trans-Spectrum students. (2) Both community colleges and four-year institutions should invest more in mental health services and consider investing more resources in on-campus mental health personnel and resources. (3) Both community colleges and four-year institutions should build community partnerships to provide more resources for Trans-Spectrum students.

When the gender factor is analyzed with reference to other social markers, such as race and ethnicity, sexuality and social class, inequalities are accentuated in the form of hierarchies of power and subjection/oppression. This research seeks its theoretical and epistemological foundations in the studies of gender and sexuality based on the references of social constructionism, queer studies, feminisms and intersectionality, finding in Social Psychology, from a critical and political point of view, its voice, one of dispute with some (de)naturalizing, (de)essentializing and (non)universalizing discourses in Psychology. This is an investigation designed with empirical and documentary contours (both quantitatively and qualitatively), with the objective of analyzing transphobia in Brazil based on crime reports and how they are dealt with in the criminal justice system, as well as of the relations between knowledge-powerssubjectivities in the production / maintenance of transphobic violence. This paper considers the crime reports and complaints against the LGBT community received by “Disque Direitos Humanos”, a hotline intended to deal with the report of crimes against human rights, in 2014. It focuses on the monitoring of the reports as well as of a criminal case. The methodologies adopted consisted of two: Thematic Analysis and Discourse Analysis as well as (other) practices inspired by the work of Michel Foucault. The results of the research allowed us to problematize the structure and functioning of the hotline “Disque Direitos Humanos”, showing its difficulties and failures, especially regarding the destination and monitoring of the crime reports. The results suggested that, because transgender people break with the supposed linearity of the sex, gender and sexual orientation sequence, they are compulsorily sent to the margins of society; exposed (more often than not) to the dangers of the night and prostitution just as to various forms of violence, occupying, hierarchically, places of subordination and subjection. Exerted and clearly expressed transphobia is considered here as the effect of discourses and other (social) practices, such as the forbiddance of transgender people to come and go as freely as they want due to territorial dispute; the fact of not being considered human beings for a whole day, only being allowed to come out during the night; the suffering of psychological/symbolic violence through insults, curses, humiliations, threats to life and / or silences; institutional violence (both physical and sexual) and finally, in many cases, murders. The effects of multiple intersectional violence in the daily lives of transgender people are considered, then, devastating. Brazil offers many examples of such violence, since it is the country where transvestites, transsexuals and other subjects with "dissident" gender identities or not binary, are killed the most frequently. When so many demand the end of the existence of a non-cisgender, non-heterosexual, non-white body and it remains alive, such act of survival must be regarded as a political attitude of resistance. Consequently, it is vital to (re) think about changes, discursive (re)significations in Psychology and in everyday social practices, considering no longer the impossibility of transgender people leading a full life, but their possibilities of existence as legitimate and human bodies. / São nefastos os efeitos das violências cometidas contra pessoas trans (travestis e transexuais). Quando intersseccionado gênero com outros marcadores sociais, como raça e etnia, sexualidade e classe social, mostram-se acentuadas as desigualdades, hierarquias de poder e de sujeição/opressão. Esta pesquisa buscou subsídios teórico-epistemológicos nos estudos de gênero e sexualidade a partir dos referenciais do construcionismo social, estudos queer, dos feminismos e da interseccionalidade, encontrando na Psicologia Social, por um viés crítico e político, o seu lugar de fala, de disputa por discursos (des)naturalizantes, (des)essencializantes e (des)universalizantes na Psicologia. Esta é uma investigação desenhada com contornos empíricos (quantitativa e qualitativamente) e documental, que teve como objetivo a análise da transfobia brasileira a partir de denúncias e de seus fluxos no sistema de justiça; das relações entre saberes-poderes-subjetividades na produção/manutenção da violência transfóbica. Buscou-se, assim, analisar as denúncias recebidas pelo Disque Direitos Humanos, módulo LGBT, no ano de 2014, relatórios de monitoramento do mesmo serviço e um processo criminal. Os focos metodológicos adotados consistiram em dois: Análise Temática e Análises de Discurso e (outras) práticas com ‘inspiração’ em Michel Foucault. Os resultados da pesquisa permitiram problematizar a estrutura e funcionamento do Disque Direitos Humanos mostrando suas dificuldades e falhas, principalmente no que tange ao encaminhamento e monitoramento das denúncias. Os resultados sugeriram que, por romperem com a suposta linearidade da sequência sexo, gênero e orientação sexual, pessoas trans são direcionadas compulsoriamente à margem da sociedade; expostas (muitas vezes) à noite e à prostituição e a diversas modalidades de violência ocupando, hierarquicamente, lugares de subordinação e assujeitamento. Analisou-se a transfobia operada e manifesta como efeito de discursos e (outras) práticas sociais, como a impossibilidade de ir-e-vir dxs trans, por questões de territorialidade; de não serem consideradxs seres humanos por todo um dia; pela violência psicológica/simbólica por via de insultos, termos de baixo calão, humilhações, ameaças à vida e/ou silêncios; violência institucional; física; sexual e, em muitos casos, os assassinatos. Considera-se, portanto, que são graves os efeitos de múltiplas violências interseccionais presentes no cotidiano de pessoas trans, sendo o Brasil um exemplo desse processo, país em que mais se mata travestis, transexuais e outros sujeitos com identidades de gênero “dissidentes” ou não binárias. Quando um coletivo de vozes brada pelo fim da existência de um corpo não cisgênero, não heterossexual e não branco e esse permanece vivo, devemos considerar este ato de sobrevivência como uma atitude política e de resistência. Nesse sentido, deve-se (re)pensar mudanças, (re)significações discursivas na Psicologia e nas práticas sociais cotidianas, considerando não mais a impossibilidade de vida das pessoas trans mas, sim, nas suas possibilidades de existência como um corpo legítimo e humano.

[pt] Prostituição Travesti no Brasil: lendo agência e soberania por meio de sexualidades dissidentes investiga as subjetividades marginalizadas de travestis no contexto brasileiro para analisar discursos no âmbito local e internacional. Conduzo uma crítica de discursos sobre tráfico sexual e prostituição, apontando para a naturalização de normas de gênero que impedem o entendimento sobre experiências que excedem o binário prostituta versus vítima do tráfico. Para fazê-lo, analiso, por meio de uma perspectiva foucaultiana e queer butleriana, as subjetividades travestis que se constituem justamente no bojo das práticas de prostituição. Proponho, nesta lógica, que essas experiências permitem tanto sua resistência quanto sujeição às regulações de gênero que são legíveis. Por fim, apresento uma crítica à formação de uma sociedade biopolítica no Brasil: apontando que um poder soberano predomina em fazer morrer estes corpos ininteligíveis, para que se permita o fazer viver de subjetividades consideradas normais em termos de gênero, raça e classe. Isso abre a possibilidade de refletir o Estado brasileiro que nega sua queerness ao procurar se adequar aos discursos de homonormatividade e de defesa da comunidade LGBTTQI que surgem no âmbito internacional, mas ainda permite que se exerça um poder soberano sobre corpos transexuais não-ideiais. / [en] Travesti Prostitution in Brazil: reading agency and sovereignty through dissident sexualities investigates the marginalised subjectivities of travestis within the Brazilian context, to analyse discourses both in the local and international realm. I conduct a critique of discourses on sex-trafficking and prostitution, pointing to the naturalisation of gender norms that hinders an understanding of experiences that exceed the binary prostitute versus trafficking victim. To do so, I analyse, through a foucauldian and butlerian queer perspective, travestis subjectivities that constitute themselves precisely in the field of prostitution practices. I propose, therefore, that these experiences allow both resistance and subjection to gender regulations that are legible in the preset society. Finally, I present a critique to the formation of a biopolitical society in Brazil: pointing that a sovereign power predominates in making die these unintelligible bodies, so that subjectivities considered normal in gender, race, and class terms can be made live. This opens the possibility of reflecting on how the Brazilian state denies its queerness as it tries to adequate itself to homonormative speeches, as well as to discourses of defense of LGBTTQI community, that emerge in the international realm, but still allows that a sovereign power is exercised over non-ideal transsexual bodies.

In the Brazilian society, aggravated by unequal distribution of economic assets, sociocultural and political rights, the issue of gender violence gains particular importance when it talks about the dynamics of production and subordination of certain identities (HALL, 2007). So, as a result of the dictates of a patriarchal and sexist social model, lifes background that do not comply with the matrix of binary gender and current cisgender are relegated to an abject condition, victimized by transphobia, scourge which according to a report from the NGO Transgender Europe (2016), puts Brazil as the leading country in murders of trans people in the world. With no doubt the language while social practice situated assumes a particular role in this panorama. In addition, in dialog with the Gender Studies (FOUCAULT, 1988; BUTLER, 1997, 2000; LOURO, 2000; BENTO, 2006; BORBA; OSTERNANN, 2007, 2008), the objective of this research is to expand the theoretical-analytical emerging in language studies, in a critical perspective in terms of the linguistic violence (SILVA, 2014) of transphobic motivation, performed in the cyberspace thanks to the strength of illocutionary speech acts that take place under certain ritual forms, through the update and (re-) establishment of specific contexts (DURANTI; GOODWIN, 1992; SILVESTREIN, 1993; HANKS, 2008). In order to forward such a proposal, we assume the pragmatics of language, stemming both from the Philosophy of Language (AUSTIN, 1990 [1962]; WITTGENSTEIN, 1975; DERRIDA, 1991a, 1991b; BUTLER, 1997), and the new Pragmatic Linguistic (MEY,1985; 2001; 2014; RAJAGOPALAN, 2010; ALENCAR, 2010; SILVA, 2012). The corpus used in this study are transphobic speech acts conducted in the cyberspace, present in 17 online comments posted on the website G1 news, between the months of June 2015 and June 2016, in three stories related to the staging of the transsexual actress and model Viviany Belleboni, during the 19th edition of the LGBT Pride parade in São Paulo. Based on a qualitative methodology, interpretative and exploratory, we set the concept of contextualization cues (GUMPERZ, 1998 [1982]), in order to analyze the corpus and to answer the following research questions: i) Under which ritual forms is the violence linguistics motivated by transphobia? ii) Which contexts are (re) introduced to confer the illocutionary strength to this particular type of violent speech act? iii) Which contextual positions the aggressors and victims are asked to take place in these linguistic contexts? The results obtained by analysis of this research suggest, roughly, to the restoration of violent contexts, in which emerges from the strength of illocutionary speech of transphobic acts, capable of subordinate and injure trans people through language, relating to a) the anthropological conditions and social abject which the trans population are relegated; b) to the Christian religion and their narratives, which are aimed to domesticate and to control individuals, producing docile bodies and subjects; c) the medical-scientific knowledge and its effects of truth produced by biologists beliefs of the relation between body and identity; d) to the coloniality devices and standardization in operation of transphobia; and e) the boundaries between subtle physically violence and that performed in the language, producing what is called continuum of violence. / Na sociedade brasileira, complexificada pela desigual distribuição de bens econômicos, socioculturais e políticos, a problemática da violência de gênero ganha particular relevo, inclusive no que tange às dinâmicas de produção e de subalternização de determinadas identidades (HALL, 2007). Assim, como consequência dos ditames de um modelo social patriarcal e machista, formas de vida não conformes com a matriz de gênero binária e cisnormativa vigente são relegadas a uma condição abjeta, vitimadas pela transfobia, flagelo este que, segundo relatório da ONG Transgender Europe (2016), coloca o Brasil como o país líder em assassinatos de pessoas trans no mundo. Sem sombra de dúvida, a linguagem, enquanto prática social situada, assume papel particular neste panorama. Diante disso, em diálogo com os Estudos de Gênero (FOUCAULT, 1988; BUTLER, 1997, 2000; LOURO, 2000; BENTO, 2006; BORBA; OSTERNANN, 2007, 2008), o objetivo geral desta pesquisa consiste em ampliar os desdobramentos teórico-analíticos emergentes nos estudos da linguagem, em perspectiva crítica, no que tange à violência linguística (SILVA; ALENCAR, 2014) de motivação transfóbica, performativizada, no ciberespaço, graças à força ilocucionária de atos de fala que se realizam sob determinadas formas rituais, mediante a atualização e o (re) estabelecimento de contextos específicos (DURANTI; GOODWIN, 1992; SILVESTREIN, 1993; HANKS, 2008). A fim de encaminhar tal proposta, assumimos perspectivas pragmáticas de linguagem, advindas tanto da Filosofia da Linguagem (AUSTIN, 1990 [1962]; WITTGENSTEIN, 1975; DERRIDA, 1991a, 1991b; BUTLER, 1997), quanto da nova Pragmática Linguística (MEY,1985; 2001; 2014; RAJAGOPALAN, 2010; ALENCAR, 2010; SILVA, 2012). O corpus utilizado neste estudo são atos de fala transfóbicos realizados no ciberespaço, presentes em 17 comentários online postados no site de notícias G1, entre os meses de junho de 2015 e junho de 2016, em três matérias jornalísticas relacionadas à encenação da atriz e modelo transexual Viviany Belleboni, durante a 19º edição da Parada do Orgulho LGBT de São Paulo. Baseando-nos numa metodologia qualitativa, interpretativa e exploratória, acionamos a noção de pistas de contextualização (GUMPERZ, 1998 [1982]), a fim de analisar o corpus com vistas a responder às seguintes perguntas de pesquisa: i) Sob que formas rituais e convencionais se realiza a violência linguística motivada pela transfobia? ii) Que contextos são (re) instaurados para conferir força ilocucionária a esse tipo específico de ato de fala violento? iii) Que posições contextuais agressores e vítimas são interpelados a ocuparem nesses contextos linguísticos violentos? Os resultados obtidos pelas análises desta investigação apontam, grosso modo, para o reestabelecimento de contextos violentos, dos quais emerge a força ilocucionária dos atos de fala transfóbicos, capazes de subalternizar e ferir pessoas trans por meio da linguagem, relativos a) às condições antropológicas e sociais abjetas às quais as populações trans são relegadas; b) à religião cristã e suas narrativas, que visam docilizar e disciplinarizar indivíduos, produzindo, assim, corpos e sujeitos dóceis; c) aos poderes-saberes médico-científicos e seus efeitos de verdade produzidos sobre crenças biologicistas da relação entre corpo e identidade; d) aos dispositivos de colonialidade e normatização em funcionamento na transfobia; e e) às fronteiras tênues entre a violência perpetrada fisicamente e aquela desempenhada na linguagem, produzindo o que denominamos continuum das violências. / São Cristóvão, SE

This diploma thesis deals with experiences and ideas of parenting trans*'s persons in the context of their identity. I primarily follow feminist theories and constructivist paradigm, where the research being realized through semi-structured interviews. In the theoretical part I define the basic terms and concepts on which my work is based. I focus on the conceptualization of trans* identities, on the concept of transsexuality in the Czech medical and socio-legal discourse, as well as on their limits in terms of gender perspective. Furthermore, I present the partnership and sexual relations of trans* persons, which then lead me to parenthood itself in the context of trans * identities. Finally, I deal with the coming-out process, especially with a focus on offspring. Within the analytical part I am interested in the attitude of trans* people to prevent reproductive function as the legal condition of gender transition, what reproductive ways and ways of parenting they choose, what obstacles they encounter in the context of parenthood and how they perform their parental role.
