Descrição
Resumo:Transexuality is defined as the disagreement between the sex attributed at birth and the gender self-declared, resulting in a psychopathological and stigmatizing condition that is a condition for their access to hormonal and surgical interventions (sexual reassignment) in the Brazilian public health system. The objective of this research is an integrative review of the Brazilian scientific literature on about depatologization of transsexuality. The final sample contemplates 11 articles published between 2006 and 2016 in LILACS, PePSIC and SciELO databases. The main results indicate that they are qualitative and theoretical articles that discuss the transsexuals’ difficulties of insertion in the public health system and in the society, and the depathologization and the critic of the cisheteronormatividade areessential for the exercise of their rights.
