Abstract
Abstract The institutional clinical practice with adolescents in a university hospital in the present times raises questions about both gender and sexuation. Such questions are not exclusively at the level of practice, but also of theory, requiring it's refinement. We introduce it in the context of psychoanalysis. Methodologically, we left the clinic to question the theory, allowing it to be enriched, as Freud wanted, from the beginning, when he observed that in psychoanalysis there is no theory without clinic. Although we are based on psychoanalytic authors, we do not fail to imply references in authors of the connection fields of psychoanalysis, which often bring fundamental elements to the intended refinement. We conclude by presenting a case to exemplify the questions that led us to the research.

The institutional clinical practice with adolescents in a university hospital in the present times raises questions about both gender and sexuation
Is the proliferation of sexualities closely followed by the proliferation of new sexuality terminology or do subjects identify with new terms as they emerge? As a preamble, it is worth pointing out the following: the concept of gender identity differs from that of sexual orientation
The LGBTTQI community defines cisgender – the Latin prefix cis means “on this side of” – someone whose gender identity matches the sex they were assigned at birth, while people whose gender identity and/or gender expression differs from the traditional societal norms and expectations associated with the sex they were assigned at birth are called “trans”
Summary
ABSTRACT – The institutional clinical practice with adolescents in a university hospital in the present times raises questions about both gender and sexuation. It is this question that sustains the cruelty of initiatory rites so often explored by other fields, which demonstrate that it is not a question of the past, since if these rites are the cutting edge that guides puberty towards masculinity, it is often to uphold the maxim of manhood This is what the authors cited by Lattanzio (2011) suggest in his examination of the function of adolescent initiatory rites as a way of ridding boys of the femininity they have been infected with since the time they were in the womb. We depart from a literature review, compare the results of the review with clinical practice and raise hypotheses for possible theoretical advances
