Physical Education as a territory to possible gender establishment: school experiences of transvestites, transexuals and transgender people

Abstract

The Physical Education class at school interpreted through the experiences of the people who go beyond and/or live on the borders of gender is the focus of this study. It highlights considerations triggered by the analysis of the folder “A travesti e [o/a] educador[/a]” – about the insertion of these subjects in the Physical Education class –, correlated to bibliographic sources, interviews and questionnaires given to transvestite, transexuals and transgender brazilian teachers. It was concluded that, not unlike the school as a whole, Physical Education is also a space that exalts the incoherence between the reality of the educational routine and the norms that determine the school as a manager of inclusion.
