TORRES, Marco Antônio  and  PRADO, Marco Aurélio. Professoras transexuais e travestis no contexto escolar: entre estabelecidos e outsiders. Educ. Real. [online]. 2014, vol.39, n.01, pp.201-220. ISSN 0100-3143.

This paper analyzes social aspects involved in the emergence of transgender (male-to-female) teachers at school. We use the notions of outsiders and heteronormativity to analyze how these teachers remain in the teaching profession. We believe that the emergence of such teachers is related to new positions relative to notions of gender in human rights policies, specifically the struggles of social movements. Finally, we argue that the emergence of these teachers cannot be understood as suspension of heteronormativity, but as the emergence of new issues to consider in the school environment.

Keywords : Education; Teachers; Transgender; Heteronormativity.
