Abstract:

The article analyzes the experience of people living with the Berardinelli-Seip Syndrome in the Brazilian Northeast. This qualitative study was developed with eleven informants, with nine people living with the syndrome and two mothers. Information was gathered using participant observation, social characterization, and semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed by means of a thematic coding technique. Two categories emerged: (1) \'the secret is to close the mouth\': management of food in everyday life; and (2) \'Ah, is she a transvestite?\' body, gender, and masculinization. The concluded reached is that in the experience of the informants strategies for food management that integrated tastes, values, habits, biomedical prescriptions and pleasures involved in commensality situations were produced based on their agencies and creativity. Regarding corporeality, it has been shown that representations and experiences with the body present gender inequalities, in so far as women refers more stigmas, prejudices and discrimination in adult life than men.
