Ambulatório T(1): as fronteiras do atendimento de saúde à população trans

Abstract

The article proposes a reflection on the issues surrounding the gender transition and its relationship with public health policy, obstacles, legislation, guarantee of rights, professionals and care. It consists in analyzing the trajectory of men and women in gender transition, the contribution of the movement “Sunflower, friends in diversity”, by the project “Health LGBTTQIA +” in a network with health system (SUS). It seeks to identify the difficulties that interfere in the transsexualising process, taking into account the life history of this subject, his social construction and the struggle for the recognition of his identity and existence. In light of the critical teory, based on a bibliographic research of scientific production already published, a systematic review of exploratory character was constructed. It has non-violent communication as a reference that is employed through dialogue with users and in the welcoming process, strengthening and improving the links in health care, providing subjects with a better quality of life and access to build an social image that really represents it. The results indicate that the lack of understanding, prejudice, discrimination and nonbelonging of this subject in the basic health network, lead to the evasion of this public in the legal transsexualising process, leading this procedure to be performed in hiding and the exclusion of the subjects to the others treatments offered by the health service.
