Resumo
Inscribed into the arena of knowledge on gender identities, this work is about transsexuality, a
subject on which rests many controversies, starting with the use of the terms transsexualism
and transsexuality. They are not only different words, but mean different viewpoints and can
demarcate opposing perspectives of fields of knowledge regarding transsexual condition, one
that defends the diversity of gender identities and one that conceives it as pathology. This
research aims to situate the debate about depathologization of transsexuality in Brazil
analyzing its discursive fields. On one hand, I try to identify who are the actors involved in
the campaign and investigate how they are producing the debate, showing what kinds of
mobilizations have been made and what are their main demands. On the other hand, I seek to
identify and analyze the knowledge underlying the depathologization speeches and other
discourses which are opposed to this perspective. I present and analyze the proposals of the
campaign concerning the continuity of health/medical care as well as the maintenance of the
rights of transsexuals in a possible depathologization of transsexuality.
