Cidade hegemônica e fragmentada: as insurgências travesti/transexual na luta pelo direito à cidade

Abstract

Investigating the problems faced by transsexual and transvestite women, who have often denied their right to the city, dignity and social justice. Extermination and violence against this population often occur in public spaces, which raises the question of how these women can experience the city on a daily basis, in the face of so much violence, prejudice and uncertainty. The objective of this research was to understand the spatial dynamics of the transvestite experience and transgender women in the city. To investigate these complex social issues, qualitative research was carried out, which is effective in dealing with issues involving gender identity, sexuality, class and race in the city. The theoretical approach was based in authors who address the social issues of the city, urban space, capitalism, gender identity and sexuality. The methodology adopted is supportive of social issues, using content analysis, involving volunteers and based on consistent theories in the field of qualitative and epistemological research. With the analysis developed, it is possible to observe the ineffectiveness of social justice, dignity and the right to the city for the transvestite population and transsexual women, a result of the anti-trans movement and the lack of urban plans that consider the problems experienced by transvestites and transsexuals in the city.
