Abstract
This article aims to understand the therapeutic itineraries of trans men, analyzing the relationship with formal and informal health systems. An itinerary is understood as the trajectories, strategies, and resources of this population in search of health care and possible bodily changes. This is qualitative research, from an analytical-institutional perspective, carried out through semi-structured interviews with four trans men in a process of gender transition. To analyze the results, three lines of analysis were constructed. In the first line, the first experiences lived by trans men were approached, ranging from self-recognition to the search for information about transsexuality through social networks, self-medication, and the use of prostheses. The second line addresses the paths taken and their relationship with health systems. Finally, stigma is analyzed as crossing the actions of the services offered. The research seeks to provide subsidies for policies in this area.
