FREITAS, Júlia Carvalho de  e  SILVA JUNIOR, Aureliano Lopes da. Moral Imaginaries on the Media Discourse on the Use of Homemade Insemination by Lesbian Women. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2022, vol.22, n.spe, pp.1581-1600.  Epub 27-Maio-2024. ISSN 1808-4281.  https://doi.org/10.12957/epp.2022.71762.

The present article aims to reflect on the media moral discourse produced around Homemade Insemination and its use as a reproductive technology by lesbian couples. This is an autonomous reproductive modality, which consists in a low-cost self-insemination performed with the use of biological material from a non-anonymous donor. This reflection was made using five media works produced by communication channels of great reach in the Brazilian scenario, analyzed from the point of view of discourse analysis. Five analytical categories were drawn: textual-imagetic presentation of the works; narrative of women trying to conceive; speeches promoted by the so-called experts; and representation of the donor figure. We conclude that it is necessary to stimulate the debate about homemade insemination performed by lesbian women, so that both health professionals and society in general do not rely only on condemning moral speeches called scientific, such as those propagated by the media in relation to Homemade Insemination. Added to that it is important to ensure visibility of the reports of women who are submitting themselves to homemade insemination, understanding them as protagonists of the production of their sexual and reproductive health and parental projects and that, therefore, they must have their speeches and experiences legitimated.
