Abstract
Due to the stigma associated with negative stereotypes and transphobia, the human rights of trans people are violated daily, causing them to be marginalized and excluded from health services. The field of study was the Trans Ambulatory (T Ambulatory) of Primary Health Care in Porto Alegre, which works in the logic of recognizing trans identities, health demands, and the autonomy of subjects. In this article, we will present the partial results of a study that evaluates the implementation of the T Ambulatory. The study includes 269 transgender people in the first stage and 116 in the second stage. The T Ambulatory shows that health monitoring, characterized by the non-pathologization of trans identities, is essential for the Unified Health System. The access barriers can be minimized or removed. And so that it is possible to take care of trans people’s health integrally in primary health care.
