Our study aimed to understand what are the defense strategies of trans people in the formal job market. For that, basic qualitative research was carried out, being its conduction oriented in a perspective of the interpretivist paradigm. Data collection took place with seven trans people, inserted in the formal job market, through the application of narrative interviews. Data analysis occurred through thematic analysis of narratives. The path of analysis sought to articulate the individual trajectories and expand them into collective perspectives of the trajectories of the researched trans people, in order to formulate a unique narrative. Thus, when mapping the defense strategies used by trans people to enter, remain and resist in the formal labor market, four categories of analysis emerged, namely: i) Trans Representativeness; ii) Insertion in the Labor Market; iii) Permanence in the Labor Market, and iv) Organizations as allies From these categories, it was possible to highlight six predominant defense strategies used by trans people in the formal job market, namely: i) Collective Strategy of Relational Supports; ii) Individual Gender Distancing Strategy; iii) Individual Silence Strategy; iv) Individual Strategy for Gender Strategic Presentation; v) Individual Dialogue Strategy; and vi) Individual Confrontation Strategy. As a result, it is pointed out that the professional trajectories of trans people are crossed by sui generis challenges compared to other minority groups, such as gays, lesbians and bisexuals. From this result, the study concluded that trans people face several obstacles, both for insertion and for remaining in the formal job market, thus developing specific defense strategies for the idiosyncrasy of the trajectories of the people surveyed. In this way, this study advances in filling the theoretical gap of specific research on transgender people and the formal labor market, still incipient in Organizational Studies, especially in the Brazilian context. It also contributes to providing organizations with a range of specific information about trans people, which is capable of subsidizing and assisting in the creation of specific diversity policies and practices for the T group within the organizational context. And finally, it helps shed light and give voice to a group of people who are taking their first steps towards insertion and permanence in the formal Brazilian labor market.
