https://doi.org/10.1590/2179-8966/2022/66553 The article addresses the existing tensions in the context of the performative construction of identities of trans people concerning the colonial matrix of power that hierarchizes lives in Latin America, particularly in Brazil. The objective is to analyze how the demands of the trans population for the recognition of their identities, more specifically, for the right to a name, are received by institutional responses that are constitutively crossed by discourses that reintroduce racial, gender, and class violence. Methodologically, it is based on a literature review and documental analysis of the vote of minister Cármen Lúcia on the judgment of ADI 4275/DF by the STF, which recognized trans people the right to change their first name and gender classification imposed on them. It is concluded that the judgment is limited because it determines the normalizing role of the nation-state by keeping it as the holder of the performative saying about people's identity and reiterates the man/woman binary by reintroducing the abjection to the bodies that do not identify with its terms. Keywords: Decolonial studies; queer studies; gender; identity; social name.
