This article proposes to analyze how the Penal Execution deals with the demands and specificities of imprisoned transsexual men, since the prison system, designed and constructed according to a rigid heteronormative binarity, fails to meet the new demands, especially those related to gender identities. In this sense, we intend to investigate how the jail and its structure are still used as a form of disciplinarization that directly affects the bodies and how the sexualities and gender considered as disoriented would also be affected by a docilization practice. The research will make use of an interdisciplinary methodology, through a survey of bibliographical sources, merging works of authors of the pen and criminal execution and the theme of gender, highlighting, at that moment, Judith Butler. The historical-dialectical method will be adopted under a qualitative approach with the descriptive-exploratory objective. The article limits itself to studying trans men in jail because of the peculiarities that surround them. Not considering the individualities of these people as a constitutional right is a serious offense against Human Rights.
