This paper proposes dialogues with studies about travestis and transsexuals that offered contributions to problematize modes of subjectivation and sexual practices dissidents and abjects. The gender expressions that deviate from normative production models featured, in this paper, from the exploration of pleasures and sexual practices that extrapolate naturalized and reproductive visions, starting with a problematization of prostitution as a way of life, work, socialization and discovery of knowledge regarding sexual practices. Such problematizations come from research developed in Psychology postgraduate courses, under the methodological guidance of cartography and developed with participants from the organized social movement. Based on queer theoretical-political perspectives, we objective alternative positions that do not consider dissent as negativity, but more interested in alternative pedagogical forms in territories of trans subjectivation and that can broaden the notions about being “a person”. These problematizations can establish connections with other experiences and cause the expansion of knowledge schemes that consider dissent as modes of micropolitical and desiring resistance.
