Atravessando sentidos: travestilidades e disforia de gênero.

Abstract

This is a research on the terms "gender dysphoria" and "dysphoric" from the point of view of transvestites and transsexuals. Such a theme lies in the broader scope of the discussions on the depatologization of transsexualities. It is important to analyze the links between medical discourses and the experiences of the genre that escape heteronormativity. We understand heterosexuality as an effective power register that produces society and that, from its control, characteristics, patterns and correct ways of living are established. We start from references where body, gender and sex are constructed as non-essentialist and non-biological categories. For this, we use as an instrument to obtain data an electronic questionnaire. We find answers that reinforce the idea of a concept created by different control devices, producers of differentiations about certain groups and that, in the entanglement of the relations, are responsible for naming and architecting the body of Trans subjects. We conclude that the maintenance of these, as well as the linkage of the same with the diagnostic manuals, happens in a broad and non linear way.
