Abstract

The present work aims to demonstrate how the legal, medical and psy (psychiatry, psychology and psychiatry) discourses articulate in the legal debate on transgender rights. To this end, I analyze selected judgments from Brazilian courts, occurred in the 1970-2018 period. I claim that there is an internal plurality in each of those discourses and various combinations can be used to produce different practical effects in the lives of transgender people. I show that in the practice of law there is a strategic selection and combination of discourses, depending on the desired effect.
