Abstract
This study looks into the personal history of Tifanny Abreu in her process to enter and remain in high performance volleyball. We conducted a descriptive and qualitative case study. To collect our data, we used a semi-structured interview, later transcribed and submitted to content analysis. As results, we found resistance throughout Tifanny’s personal history involving her gender transition and permanence in volleyball, her treatment by the media and fans, and her use of the changing room.
