Abstract
Abstract: Introduction: This research aims to understand the current knowledge on the health of the transgender population in the Brazilian Journal of Medical Education. Historically, the formation in medicine was consolidated in the Cartesian discourses: the figure of the white man, heterosexual and cisgender. Method: This is a qualitative and retrospective research, which also aims to problematize the medical education and the importance of Queer Studies. A documental analysis was carried out to identify the content in the conceptual constructs of the documents published between 2008 and 2017. The content analysis method according to Bardin was then chosen. Results: The methodological management indicated four categories for study: knowledge about the sexuality of medical students; gender as a research variable; gender and education; training and sexuality. Conclusion: The analyzed material indicates the lack of publications on the health of people whose gender identity is considered as dissident. The need for editorial opening is pointed out, with the purpose of providing visibility to the demands of the transgender population in the journal, aiming to broaden the discussions on the integral health of the LGBTTQIA+ population during graduation.
Highlights
This research aims to understand the current knowledge on the health of the transgender population in the Brazilian Journal of Medical Education
This article aims to identify the current knowledge in medical education about the political context and the health of the transgender population, based on the analysis of publications in a national journal on medical education consolidated in the academy, the Brazilian Journal of Medical Education (Revista Brasileira de Educação Médica - RBEM)
Considering the research objective, Revista Brasileira de Educação Médica was chosen because it is an important vehicle for the dissemination of knowledge in medical education in the country, which has allowed, in recent decades, the circulation of political and economic contents articulated with the medical teaching process, and because it is currently the only Latin American journal to focus, with an affirmative emphasis, on such perspective
Summary
This research aims to understand the current knowledge on the health of the transgender population in the Brazilian Journal of Medical Education. The social rights, inalienable to citizens, aim to ensure the fundamental right to live with dignity under egalitarian conditions 1 Understanding this perspective, the political movement of transgender people, queer, bisexuals, intersex, asexual individuals, lesbians, and gays (LGBTTQIA+), has sustained some antagonism caused by the acknowledgment and depathologization of sexualities and gender identities dissident to the hegemonies. Social achievements have been attained in recent years due to affirmative public policies, allowing greater visibility of the movement. This population continues to face difficulties regarding their access to health services. This article aims to reflect on the need to assess this topic in the context of medical training
