Aplicação da Lei do Feminicídio às mulheres trans.

Abstract

This undergraduate thesis deals with the legal possibility of applying Law no. 13.104 / 2015 - Law of Feminicide - for Trans women*, in a context of gender violence. The report of the Map of Transvestite and Transsexual Murders in Brazil in 2017, published by the National Association of Transvestite and Transsexuals (ANTRA), reveals that a reality of transphobia and transfeminicide is taking place in the country. This way, taking as a starting point Judith Butler's theory of performativity, Berenice Bento's inquiries about the pathologization of Trans* identities, as well as the defense of the rights of the LGBTI cause of the jurist Maria Berenice Dias, this research aims a deconstruction of terms conceived by a heteronormative, sexist and misogynist society. In a synthesis analysis of the "Dandara Case" it was possible to observe how much the application of the respective Law to Trans women* is essential. It is worth emphasizing that this discussion addresses as a woman any subject that identifies itself in such a way, overcoming binary limitations on biological sex and entering into discussions of gender, gender identity and sexual diversity, in a perspective of cultural (des) constructions.
