This research has the general objective of problematizing how the professional insertion of transgender people in Foz do Iguaçu is taking place. In this sense, it argues that, despite the existence of signs that indicate openness to diversity in Foz do Iguaçu, the transgender approach still makes it difficult for trans people to have access to work in the city. The study is justified by the theoretical gap found in state-of-the-art research carried out at the CAPES Theses and Dissertations Bank and the demand of the trans community itself for effective access to work. To do so, it uses the life story method and semi-structured interviews in order to achieve the specific objectives of going into the field to know the professional trajectories of trans people, the greatest difficulties they face in the work environment and if the border context of Foz do Iguaçu influences their professional lives. Thanks to the interest in producing knowledge attentive to subjectivity and social dynamism, the content of the interviews is analyzed based on the formist phenomology (MAFFESOLI, 1998). Furthermore, it is supported by Butler (2000; 2004; 2013) and Bento (2006; 2017) to discuss gender, in the conception of work by Antunes (2003; 2020a; 2020b), in studies by Duque (2017a) in order to discuss the dialogue between sexuality, gender and border, as well as in the research by Hartmann (2017) when discussing transsexuality and work. Thus, this thesis begins by presenting the existing conflicts within the discussions on transsexuality, in society and academia, demonstrating the relevance of research that relates transsexuality and work and commenting on some productions that make this intersection. Therefore, it delves into the theoretical frameworks that discuss transgenderism within the human sciences to then present the formalist phenomenology, life history and explain the topics that make up the script that guided the interviews. Finally, it describes the entry into the field, synthesizing the life stories examined and analyzing their content with an emphasis on professional and gender issues. Based on its results, this proposal points out some problematic aspects of the professional insertion of trans people in Foz do Iguaçu, their perception in relation to work in the other cities that make up the Triple Border, in addition to indicating other issues that influence their life trajectories. of the subjects.
