Resumo: | This paper intents to discuss the achievement of a citizenship for the travestis, not through the perspective of equality, but based upon their own values and specificities. It is intended to demonstrate how the evolution of the concepts and representations of sex and gender created articulations of knowledge and power that allowed a strict control over individuals, disciplining their behaviours and sanctioning as illegitimate and abject the interpretations of gender norms in bodily constructions that echo in subjective transformation of the travestis. Through interviews, it is sought an enhanced comprehension of their realities and stories, from descriptions of a childhood usually marked by conflicts and repression of their games and desires, of school experiences complete with physical and verbal assault, of dropping out, of difficulties of insertion in the labour market, of the social and cultural conditionings established by themselves, of their hopes and dreams. It is made a proposition for a possible alternative of overcoming the discrimination usually addressed to travestis, through the strengthening of the belonging bonds that stimulate the association around a political and social project of their own, organized in solidarity networks, which make their specific demands become collective ones, and allow them to claim for dignity and human rights in a perspective of respect for their peculiarities. |
