Resumo: From fragments of life stories of (transsexual) people, I try to explain the diversity oftheir livings, unique experiences, ways of making sense of the process of breaking the gendernorms and sexuality. I analyze the inadequacy of medical-legal discourse, anchored in anessencialized truth on the sexualized body, to capture the possibilities of experiences intranssexuality. I argue that the destabilizing potential of transsexuality lies in withdrawing from thereductionist view, which considerss transsexuals as misguided people trapped in a body whoseintelligibility would depend solely upon reassignment surgery.

Argumento que o potencialdesestabilizador da transexualidade reside no distanciamento da máxima reducionista queconsidera os sujeitos como pessoas presas num corpo equivocado cuja inteligibilidadedependeria unicamente da cirurgia de transgenitalização.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2012-05-21info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/S0104-026X201200020001110.1590/S0104-026X2012000200011Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 20 No. 2 (2012); 501-512Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 20 Núm. 2 (2012); 501-512Revista Estudos Feministas; v. 20 n. 2 (2012); 501-5121806-95840104-026Xreponame:Revista Estudos Feministasinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/S0104-026X2012000200011/22855Copyright (c) 2018 Revista Estudos Feministasinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTeixeira, Flavia do Bonsucesso2018-08-14T16:37:18Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/26213Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/oai||ref@cfh.ufsc.br1806-95840104-026Xopendoar:2022-11-21T11:38:13.122060Revista Estudos Feministas - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)true
