Abstract:

The transgender\'s public heath care services are the main health care program to brazilian transgender people, which offers services such as hormontherapy and surgeries for sexual reassignment. We analyzed the signification produced around the sexual reassignment surgery, the new genitalia, the gender and transsexuality among women who underwent sex reassignment surgery at the Cassiano Antônio de Moraes University Hospital (HUCAM), located in Vitória, Espírito Santo State, Brazil. Qualitative research was carried out, narrative interviews were recorded in áudio, and was performed thematic content analysis. The sample was composed by 09 participants ed by the snowball sampling. It is concluded that the surgeries are related to the search for the humanization of the bodies. The signification about being a woman were not limited to a biological status for genders. The transsexuality was presented as a transitional experience between genders. The surgery was signified as strategy of corporal correction toward expectations about social relationships in the genre living by participants, whose success is evaluated under sense of beauty, pleasure and passability.
