Descrição
Resumo:This investigation aims at reclaiming memories of two self-defined female transsexuals from Tubarão - SC, in their school days, in order to analyze their school experiences during their gradual feminization process. It is a qualitative research, built with cutouts of their life stories during their primary and secondary education in public schools and degrees in History and Letters at private universities. The empirical research took place from interviews through a semi-structured questionnaire, and analyzed based on the assumptions of gender and education studies. The contradictory school space showed to be a place of heterosexist discrimination, attentive against those who did not fit the binary and hegemonic patterns of gender and sexuality. However, due to the support of colleagues and the resistance of the transsexual students, such context did not prevent them from continuing in their studies.
