Resumo: | Here we use a case reported in the media to discuss the participation of trans people in high performance sport. The psychobiomedical discourse, based on the assumption of unity of the subject and organized in a binary cis-heteronormative matrix, contributes to producing and operating the notion of coherence in the classification of bodies. In sport, one of its effects is presented in the objection to the participation of trans athletes in sports arenas, resorting to biophysiological criteria that consider androgen hormones to be determinant for increased performance. This argument can be questioned when we look at cases of trans children who are unable or difficult to participate in sports. Here, hormones give way to the legal-institutional apparatus to make the sports bureaucracy and its control over bodies work. By exposing the limits of this argument, we find the biopolitical reasons that cross the management of bodies. |

En el deporte, uno de sus efectos se presenta en la objeción a la participación de atletas trans, apelando a criterios biofisiológicos que consideran a las hormonas andrógenas como determinantes para un mayor rendimiento. Este argumento puede ser cuestionado cuando observamos casos de niños trans que no pueden o tienen dificultades para participar en deportes. Aquí, las hormonas dan paso al aparato jurídico-institucional para hacer funcionar la burocracia deportiva y su control sobre los cuerpos. Al exponer los límites de este argumento, encontramos las razones biopolíticas que atraviesan la gestión de los cuerpos.Neste ensaio, discutimos a participação de pessoas trans no esporte de alto rendimento. Nos serviremos de um caso divulgado na mídia, consistindo em material de domínio público, como fio condutor da discussão. O discurso psicobiomédico, assentado no pressuposto de unidade do sujeito e organizado numa matriz cis-heteronormativa binária, contribui para produzir e operar a noção de coerência na classificação dos corpos. No esporte, um de seus efeitos se apresenta na objeção à participação de atletas trans nas arenas esportivas, recorrendo a critérios biofisiológicos que consideram os hormônios andrógenos determinantes para o aumento do desempenho. Argumento que pode ser questionado ao olharmos para casos de crianças trans impossibilitadas ou dificultadas de participar do esporte. Aqui, os hormônios cedem lugar ao aparelho jurídico-institucional para fazer funcionar a burocracia esportiva e seu controle sobre os corpos.
