Abstract:

This study analyzed the construction process of the social name and related aspects in transgender peoplea medium-sized municipality in southern Brazil. Qualitative dataa mixed descriptive and exploratory method study was used. Self-declared trans people aged 18 or over were included. Three focus groups with 10 participants were taken care of. These, aged between 19 and 52 years, have a documented social name, but half have not yet changed their civil records. The content analysis technique produced two categories: \"construction of the social name as an instrument for validating the trans identity\" and \"impacts of the construction of the social name on self-acceptance and on family and social relationships\". The results reinforce the importance of respecting the name as a way of contributing to the gender affirmation of trans subjects. The name was linked to the experiences, individuality and values of these people. Its proper use, much more than respect for legislation, meant respect for the different possibilities of human existence. It is expected that the presented results can be used as a tool for recognizing the issues and nuances that permeate the construction of the social name, as well as contributing to identity validation.
