BORGES, Isis Valentina Inácio  and  BUENO, José Lucas Pedreira. TRANSVESTITES AND TRANSSEXUALS IN PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES: REFLECTIONS ON ACCESS AND PERMANENCE. Práx. Educ. [online]. 2023, vol.19, n.50, e12044.  Epub July 05, 2024. ISSN 2178-2679.  https://doi.org/10.22481/praxisedu.v19i50.12044.

This study problematizes and discusses the access and permanence of the transvestite and transsexual public to Higher Education. From bibliographical research, it is made reflections from a decolonial perspective about the difficulties and exclusions faced by this population, as well as the counter-hegemonic need to implement affirmative actions through public policies for the democratization of the human and social right to education, denied to this population by modernity-coloniality. In the country that most excludes and kills transvestites and transsexuals in the world, we can see that there is a cultural, economic, and social abyss between these groups and Higher Education, so it is urgent that the Brazilian State guarantees access and permanence of this marginalized population in Public Universities.

Keywords : access and permanence; public university; critical and decolonial intercultural education; human rights; transvestites and transsexuals.
