Abstract

This article proposes to succinctly go through the process of pathologization of trans subjectivity from the birth of Sexology and the struggle of militant groups in defense of their rights to the present day. Today, psychiatry is responsible for depathologizing trans subjectivities; to learn through the theoretical and experiential developments that have produced trans activists and to influence to make decriminalization and depathologization universal and that the essential cultural changes that enable coexistence in diversity occur.
