ABSTRACT
From the reports of transgender men students from a Brazilian pubic school, we analyzed the socio-discursive practices of resistance produced by them mainly in the educational sphere, but also in the family sphere. Therefore, our discursive-ethnographic research is theoretically and methodologically linked to the Critical Discourse Analysis of an Anglo-Saxon origin, which is a transdisciplinary approach undertaken by Norman Fairclough and Lilie Chouliariaki. In order to produce an explanatory-critical, we articulate the linguistic and discursive analysis of the semiotic data to Gender Studies. In the narratives, we have noticed identifications and representations of violent practices that trivialize the recognition and the particular needs of trans students’ bodies promoting oppressions that emerge from the combination of different axes of difference, such as gender and race. These violent questions motivate these social agents to react discursively amid potentially cis-heteronormative and normalizing social life.
