This article looks at transgender narratives of students who have returned to the school through the Youth, Adult and Elderly Education Program (EJAI) of the Pernambuco public school. The permanence of young people in school is a historical problem in Brazil, deeply related to factors such as poverty, child labor, hard access to school and absence of health care. In the case of trans people, these aspects are linked to the lack of recognition, the constant threat of physical and psychological violence, the denial of access to public spaces and the precariousness of solidarity networks. These trajectories enable us to think about the ambivalent ways of life that circulate and intersect in the curriculum, in the tortuous and incomplete processes of creating lives forged between the holes of the (cis-hetero)normative structure and about the productive effects of sexual policy changes in Brazil over the last two decades. The outlined work seeks to present itself as a resource to demonstrate the deep meaning and importance of gender and sexuality studies and policies in education, as well as to demystify the attempts to reinforce stereotypes and justify the (re)production of historical projects of domination and exploitation through fear, hatred and violence.

Keywords : school trajectories; transgenderity; gender and sexuality policies; youth and adult education.
