Abstract:

This article describes the political action repertoire mobilized in the construction of public health policy for trans persons in the Manaus, capital city of the State of Amazonas, in northern Brazil. It is based on ethnographic research combining participant observation in the multiple sites these policies are constructed and interviews with members of two transgender rights organizations in Manaus, between January 2016 and July 2018. Four modes of political action were reconstructed, as ideal types, named after native categories: those of confrontation, others of “articulation”, the ones seeking visibility and others collaboration. Each mode has the local society as public and agents of the municipal and state Judiciary, Legislative and Executive bodies sometimes as adversaries, sometimes as allies.
