Mulheres trans e jornalismo: inserção, representação e possibilidades

Abstract

This research aims to discuss the experiences of transgender women in various aspects and possibilities within the field of journalism. Throughout four chapters, we will discuss their opportunities for inclusion in the journalism profession and how the difficulties they face in both basic education and university place them in marginalized professions, making it challenging for them to access higher education and consequently become journalists. Additionally, we will address how journalism has dealt with the transgender agenda over the years and its impact on perpetuating stereotypes, as well as how journalism can be an ally for social transformation. All of this will be anchored in a series of classic authors from Queer Theory, such as Judith Butler and Guacira Lopes Louro, as well as important theorists in the field of journalism like John Hartley and Stuart Hall.
