This article presents an analysis of the concept of transgender people, in the course of a comparative study at the University of Madeira, UMa (Portugal) and at the Federal University of Sergipe, UFS (Brazil) on "University students' voices on sexual and gender diversity, its relation to coeducation and pedagogical innovation." In methodological terms a qualitative approach was adopted, with the application of a questionnaire with open and closed questions and the viewing of a short video framing the theme. Content analysis was performed on the data obtained. The compared results show that most of the former students of UMa as those of UFS know and value the concept of transgender person, focused on the subjective construction/reconstruction of identity. There is in the majority of the former students of the UFS a strong awareness of the constraints about the experience of trans gender motivated by the influence of stereotypical social standards. This is justified by the experience of social contexts predominantly paternalistic, with taboos on this theme. Comparing the results, there is a greater involvement of the former students of the Federal University of Sergipe in the discussion of the concept of transgender person. The answers of the former students at the University of Madeira confirm a lower adherence to this initiative.
