Revista da FAEEBA: Educação e Contemporaneidade [online]. 2016, vol.25, n.45, pp.159-172. ISSN 0104-7043.  https://doi.org/10.2015/jan.abr.v25n45.012.

Trans students (E.T.) - Transvestites, Transsexuals and Transgender - are victims of hetero normalization process when constructing their bodies in accordance with their gender identity. The school, active agent of this colonization, ends up pushing them away from their E.T. interior through the compulsory eviction, unnoticed under the cloak of school failure. In order to provide these inputs, we assume as central objective to describe the construction of E.T. identity and how the culture of difference is re/produced in school context presenting cutouts of a research performed with educators, to obtain the title of master, supported by the theory of Cultural Studies. The collected data showed that the phobias of which homosexual students are victims, take worsening forum when intended for E.T. This transphobia consist on the stigmatization and deprivation of basic rights such as the recognition of the social name, free access to spaces within the school and use of toilets according to the genre that identifies. We conclude that the adoption of strategies to discuss gender identity, gender violence, transphobia, manifestations of sexualities, among others, should be part of everyday school life in order to involve all its agents in fighting violence attributed to E.T. promoting the culture of respect for differences.
