XAVIER, Thais Pimentel de Oliveira  and  VIANNA, Cláudia. The Education of Trans People*: reports of exclusion, abjection, and struggle. Educ. Real. [online]. 2023, vol.48, e124022. ISSN 2175-6236.  https://doi.org/10.1590/2175-6236124022vs01.

This article presents the results of an investigation about the processes of exclusion, abjection, and struggle from trans people* as an attempt to enforce their rights to education. The qualitative research was conducted drawing from five interviews and the analyses were organized in three axes: exclusion with the interruption of schooling; going back to school in adult life, and the new perspectives of life upon gaining access to and remaining at school. The results reveal students facing excluding processes who challenge gender rules regarding their right to education or, or even their right to live under situations of abjection. However, they also show ways to rethink gender relations in the struggle for accessing and remaining at a less excluding school.

Keywords : Right to Education; Gender; Trans People*.
