População Trans e Docência: alguns apontamentos

Abstract

This study aims to analyse and discuss the presence of transgender population in an educational context, highlighting the performance of people from this group in teaching role. Through documentary data and theoretical studies the text problematizes the violence that victimize the Brazilian LGBT population, presenting fundamental concepts for the understanding issues related to sexual orientation and gender identity. The research also gives prominence for some elements of queer epistemology that can contribute to advance the comprehension of this theme in the educational field. The analysis undertaken allow us to affirm that schools are still developing practices to disciplining the sexual and gender experiences that impact the students’ subjectivity. However, the presence of transgender people in educational spaces, especially in teaching role, destabilizes heteronormative curricular practices and their expressions can be characteristics of resistance in education.
