The general objective of the research is to reveal whether or not the qualifier of Feminicide can include transsexual women as victims, under the bias of the criminal guarantee guaranteed by the Constitution. As a research methodology, qualitative was used and, as a method of data collection, bibliographic and jurisprudential analysis. Thus, we sought to analyze the main aspects of the crime of homicide, with emphasis on its qualified form known as femicide, and to verify how current doctrine and jurisprudence are positioning themselves with regard to the applicability of this qualified form to transsexual women, since the law, in its literal interpretation, specifies that Femicide is the act of killing a woman for “female” reasons. As a theoretical framework, the research was based on the lessons of Bittencourt (2017), Capez (2021), Cunha (2018), Carneiro (2019), Ferrajoli (2010) and Hungary (2018).
