Abstract

This paper reports the partial results of a master’s research focused on how science and biology teachers in
basic education conceptualize the tripod sex, gender, and sexuality, which compose the heterosexual intelligibility matrix.
Here, we discuss the conceptions of five teachers about this tripod; how they react before transgender men who have
intimate relationships with cisgender men, thus being read as a gay couple? To this end, we showed the participants a
comic book by American artist Bill Roundy, in which he, cis gay man, tries to explain his relationships with trans men. If,
as the Brazilian popular saying goes, “a man with a man equals a werewolf,” then, based on queer studies and on the pedagogy of monsters, we explore how much a trans man with a cis man can also equal a (queer) werewolf, disrupting the
conceptual categories of science education and some positivist assumptions within natural sciences.
