Abstract

In this article we aim to carry out a mapping of Brazilian intellectual productions that listen to transgender children in their investigations in order to understand how this theme is being analyzed. The research also discusses the demands and dilemmas that involve child transgender identity and the ethical and methodological issues that permeate research with children in Brazil. The survey was carried out on internet search platforms that index and disseminate scientific studies, being analyzed through a post-structuralist perspective. We found that the works retrieved in the searches predominantly make theoretical reflections, based on bibliographic surveys and also on memories about the childhood of trans adults. In this sense, we consider that there is an urgent need for more studies with transgender children in the country, stressing how transgender identity in childhood is understood and what knowledge can potentially be produced by these subjects.
