Resumen:
In a society where heteronormativity said the convivial rules, sexual minorities that
distune from the moral, ethical and religious standards of "normality" still remain on the
social margin. Dealing specifically about the transgenders, these individuals, besides
suffer social rejection, for being taken by many as an "aberration", are faced with they
own rejection, because they feel themselves trapped in a "foreign body". They are
sexually individuals identified at birth by their anatomical characters, but they have their
biological sex settings incompatible with their gender identities. All this psychological
and social problems of transsexuality has undoubtedly reflected in civil life, and the law
needs to keep up with these changes, regulating in a pedagogical way about theme,
as it involves the insertion of these individuals in the context of society and the
affirmation of their own identities and concerns with the rights of personality, equality
and human dignity, which are constitutionally protected and must be guaranteed to
every individual. In this sense, this paper analyzes the right to self-determination of
transsexuals, as it did not exist in Brazil specific law that protects the basic rights of
these individuals and the legal and social consequences, which makes this theme be
constant debates target in Power Judiciary of this country.
