This thesis has the general objective of analyzing the intersection between the categories of migrant and transgender, as an expression of the process of identity des / reconstruction from the diaspora phenomenon experienced by Brazilian trans and transvestite women. Based on the object of this research, which provides for the interconnectivity between gender identity processes and the migratory processes of trans and transvestite women, in which the positions of cause and effect are rotated among themselves, we will call the Trans Diaspora. In a moment, the construction of gender identification leads them to migrate, as an alternative to move away from the surveillance and control of the social circles that integrate their place of origin or, even, being expelled by the family when they reveal themselves to be “deviants” from the norm . But at other times, migration occurs due to other factors (work and studies) and when they encounter a new social network, discover new spaces and places and access information and experiences never possible when they were under the tutelage of the family, reveals an identification of gender until then not imagined by the subjects of this research, who had not yet perceived themselves as trans. We adopted a bibliographic review that comprises the theoretical framework that discusses gender and sexuality from a queer perspective, trans, feminist and gender studies, adding to the discussions on migration processes through sociological and interdisciplinary research, in addition to addressing the legislation dealing with this topic. The theoretical framework and secondary data will be put in dialogue with the oral reports of Brazilian trans and transvestite women to discuss the Trans Diaspora. The work is divided into six chapters (theoretical and empirical), presenting from the methodological procedures to the empirical research material, beyond the introduction and conclusion. The result was the validation of the hypothesis that transvestites and trans women constitute diasporic subjects due to mobility and / or migration, both in terms of gender and in terms of space and time.
