📖 A study published in CSP analyzes, based on the memories and perceptions of trans women and transvestites in Bahia, how family, school, religion, and territory intersect with the processes of identity recognition and body construction.
The accounts show that these trajectories are marked by constant negotiations between social norms, experiences of pathologization, and strategies of resistance.
By highlighting how collective memory functions both as a regulatory practice and as a performative force, the study reinforces the urgency of public health policies that overcome pathologization and recognize the specificities of trans and transvestite experiences.
