Abstract

We present here some discussions about the appointed bodies transvestites, and its historical and social crossings, emphasizing the discursive and essentialist influences that invented them. Briefly We will briefly outline the process of subjectivation, in which both can produce crops in masses, normalizing and standardizing uniform identities, how can distinguishes them, enabling new experiences, trials, desires and pleasures. Then we will discuss about sex system/gender/sexuality and the creation of heteronormative society, pointing out that this system is not at all natural, being strategically deployed to keep the power and hegemony. In this sense, we propose in this article, discuss the psychological violence experienced by transvestites in public health institutions, institutions which in itself should eradicate all forms of violence, but end up contributing to its intensification.
