Entre o rosa e o azul: os meninos travestidos que estão fora da sala de aula

Abstract

The present article arises from a social necessity, the comprehension about the exclusions, in the school environment, of transvestite adolescents. With this, our objective followed the tenuous line of reflection and analysis of how the bias and marginalization of transvestites is created, specifically those who are adolescents and, for some reason, are not in the classroom. Our research is anchored in a qualitative (CHIZZOTTI, 1980), ethnographic approach (LÜDKE AND ANDRÉ, 1986), since in order to collect data the research subject was in contact with the social group that was participating in the research. This research brings as theoretical scope some scholars of the following areas: Education, Paulo Freire (2001), Oliveira (2015); Queer Theory, Butler (2010), Scott (1995); Society and sexuality, Chauí (1984), Foucault (1984), Fry and MacRae (1985), among others. We come to the conclusion that the school still shows itself as a catalyst for what it finds correct and "pure" to enter its vast walls covered with prejudices. The "doors" of life are still half closed to the life contexts of transvestites. Many are "forced" to play certain social and labor roles because they have no other opportunities to integrate them into the society that behaves.
