0109/2022 - Masculinidades em construção, corpos em (re)construção: desejos, contradições e ambiguidades de homens trans no processo transexualizador. Masculinities under construction, bodies under (re)construction:desires, contradictions and ambiguities of trans men in the transsexualization process.
O artigo traz os resultados de uma pesquisa sobre as estratégias, expectativas e desejos de 28 homens transexuais na construção das suas masculinidades e reconstrução dos seus corpos através da hormonização cruzada. A pesquisa qualitativa foi realizada em um ambulatório do processo transexualizador de um município da região metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro. Para a construção dos dados foram utilizadas a entrevista semiestruturada e a observação participantes realizadas entre os meses de novembro de 2019 e janeiro de 2020. A Análise de Conteúdo orientou a análise das falas, das quais emergiram as categorias que foram discutidas, que foram discutidas à luz dos conceitos de gênero, transexualidade e masculinidades, além de referências dos estudos sobre raça/cor, em suas articulações com a saúde. Os dados revelaram desejos, contradições e ambiguidades no que diz respeito à construção da masculinidade e à (re)construção de corpos mais adequados a esta; evidenciaram o desejo pelo padrão corporal de masculinidade que seria conquistado através da hormonização e de cirurgias, e a cor negra surgiu como um importante marcado de desigualdade. No entanto, também emergiram reflexões de negação do padrão patriarcal. Concluímos que, mesmo refutando muitos traços do modelo de masculinidade, esses homens desejam adentrar esse mundo e confundir-se na multidão como homens, vivenciando assim uma masculinidade mais plena.

Abstract:
The article presents the results of a research on the strategies, expectations and desires of 28 transsexual men in the construction of their masculinities and reconstruction of their bodies through hormonization. The qualitative research was carried out in an outpatient clinic of the transsexualization process in a city in the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro. For the construction of the data, the semi-structured interview and the participant observation were used between the months of November 2019 and January 2020. The Content Analysis guided the analysis of the speeches, from which the categories that were discussed emerged, which were discussed of the concepts of gender, transsexuality and masculinities, in addition to references from studies on race/ethnicity, in their articulations with health. The data revealed desires, contradictions and ambiguities regarding the construction of masculinity and the (re)construction of bodies more suited to it; evidenced the desire for the body standard of masculinity that would be conquered through hormoneization and surgeries, and the color black emerged as an important mark of inequality. However, reflections of denial of the patriarchal pattern also emerged. We conclude that, even refuting many features of the masculinity model, these men want to enter this world and blend in with the crowd as men, thus experiencing a fuller masculinity.
