Evasion or expulsion of effeminate gays and transvestites from school institutions and lives that can not be lived

Abstract

This article is the final result of the master's thesis that investigated the daily family, school and social of six transvestites and transsexuals of the city of Sorocaba-SP. The research was developed from semi-structured interviews, inspired by the analysis of the Foucaultian studies and the Queer theory, and realized that the school is a disciplinary institution that curtails subjects, regulates bodies, interdicts deviants to the norm and, whenever necessary, imposes an indirect institutional expulsion to gender dissidents. It is concluded, therefore, that these institutional devices of marginalization and interdiction of bodies were central in their lives, making it difficult for them to remain in schools, in order to serve as examples of behaviors that should not be followed by other people.
