Produção das transidentidades: psicologia e modos de subjetivação

Abstract

The trans, transvestite and non-binary identities have gone through a historical process of psychopathologization, which reiterate cisnormative processes of domination. Considering the intersections with health care and the possibilities of action within Community Psychology, this thesis aims, from an action-participatory research, to understand how non-cisgender bodies become subjects from their transition process of gender. Thus, we seek to understand the mechanism of cisnormativity under the processes of subjectivation of dissident people of the cisnorm; understanding how other social markers besides gender cross the constitution of subjects of trans people and how a participatory-actionresearch strategy in community social psychology operates in these the processes of subjectivation – of abjection or agency. We used the transcription of the meetings of the support and militancy group Visitrans and data from a field diary, analyzed in the light of Discourse Analysis in Foucault as a metodology. The results show that psychopathologization becomes a guiding axis for the production of non-cisgender subjectivities, so that its tension, through the reports of their life stories, allow the emergence of new subjects, of resistance. This implies understanding the gender identities of professionals in the practice, so that the need to produce a transcentered science presents itself as a constant narrative dispute with the hegemonic and formal means that prevail in universities. Thus, this thesis presents itself in this provocative sense of reflections by a psychology and transgender professional who seeks to contribute to the construction of new scientific parameters based on ethical-political principles committed to the demands of marginal populations, in an intersectional way.
