Abstract

This research questions the themes of Brazilian dissertations and theses defended in the broad area of Health
Sciences knowledge, which address the health-disease relationship of transvestites and transsexual women, between 1992 and 2019. Operationalization consisted of a search of CAPES’ online database of dissertations and theses, which identified 1,071 surveys. These were tabulated, identifying how many dissertations and theses were defended in the Postgraduate programs, by area of knowledge and the amount by themes that address transvestites and transsexualities in the large area
of Health Sciences knowledge. The results show that 15.2% (163 surveys) were defended in the area of Health Sciences knowledge. These surveys discuss different topics on the relationship between health and body disease of transvestites and transsexual women, especially themes articulated in the public policies “Brazil without Homophobia”, “Transsexualizing
Process” and the “National LGBT Comprehensive Health Policy”.
