Abstract
This article proposes to know some factors in the hormonization process of transmasculine people from the idea of agency and care. Initially, the article recovers productions that deal with how body and gender differences raised to natural and biological categories, legitimize and recognize cisgenderism as a norm, were recovered. Then, the ordinances of the Transsexualizing Process for the hormonization process aimed at transmasculine people in the Brazilian National Health System (SUS) were analyzed. Finally, we present the experience of ethnographic work accompanying two transmasculine people in the city of São Paulo between the months of March 2019 and November 2020, as well as discourses on the use of hormones/testosterone by cisgender men on the internet. It is observed that these people seek access to hormones through the Transsexualization Process of the SUS and the agencies put into action in the production of their bodies, with their access facilitated or hindered by gender norms and cisnormativity.
