A ignorância cisheteronormativa

Abstract

This article aims to think about a concept of cisheteronormative ignorance, in order to understand and face the policies of invisibility and erasure of Trans People in different social spaces. I use a theoretically engaged reflection of the terms of ignorance, gender, knowledge and Transfeminism in the sense of seeking a decoupage of ideas of neutrality, cisheteronormativity and cissexism. The analyzed empirical material has been collected through my multilocalized ethnography with collectives and Extension Programs aimed at making higher education accessible to Trans People People and combating transphobia since 2018. The results of this problematization point to an “ignorant knowledge” of cis subjects that reflects a process of political and epistemological instrumentalization that not only contributes to error but, insists on making mistakes.
