Transnarrativas : um olhar cartográfico sobre a saúde da população trans.

Abstract

The unfamiliarity and the preconception about the miscellaneous possible gender identities produces the cisgender naturalization and the stigmatization of the other identities. The population T, which includes transvestites, transsexuals and transgenders, shows very explicitly that the relationship between the genital organ, gender identity and sexual/loving desire does not have a single possible format, and, maybe for this, within the acronym LGBTQIA+ are the most attacked and killed people in society. Furthermore, one of the greatest difficulties faced by this population, who are called trans people here, is access to health, because the health services reproduce the preconception and stigmatization that occur in society, mainly for they did not have training on the subject during their training and professional career. In that regard, the objective was to map the ways in which health crosses the production of subjectivity of the trans person. This is a qualitative research, intervention research type, with a methodological approach to Cartography, using interviews and subsequent cartographic analysis. 10 trans people, between 22 and 47 years old, were interviewed. The results of the analysis of the interviews were divided into five categories: Conceptions of self and perceptions of difference: identification as trans; Trans bodies and the beginning of the transition process; Life stories: dissonances between rights and realities; The beginning of the transition process: professionals and services in(accessed); and Production of trans subjectivities: what does health have to do with it? How interventions, conversation circles were held of an educational nature with 54 professionals who work in the various sectors of a general hospital in the interior of Rio Grande do Sul; and 13 meetings of the support group for trans people, with the sporadic participation of eight participants. As technical products, the documentary “Transnarrativas” was prepared, recorded on TV UNISC with four trans people, and the “Protocol for Assistance to Gender Minorities”, aimed at facilitating and improving the humanization of care offered to this population. It was identified that the experiences and violence suffered, such as in the context of health, impact on the subjective constitution of the trans person, highlighting the (dis)articulations between the policies guaranteeing rights and the social and cultural context in which these policies are implemented.
