Abstract

This article has as its central theme the processes that have been called “gender detransition”. For its realization, six videos were used in the digital platform of Youtube, in which two of them are self-reports of the personal experiences of the processes of “detransition” and four of interviews also on this theme. These materials were discussed using the method of Foucault's Discourse Analysis. Our debates revolved around some main points, involving certain issues internal to the trans* field, such as the dispute over the political subject. In addition, we approached other points, such as gender norms and their subversion movements, and we sought to map the studies on “gender detransition” in Brazil, bringing to the discussion also an American author. Our proposal is to think about gender in its transits, understanding certain processes as movements of body wandering.
