BRANDAO, Eduardo. Interlacing between nomination and legal law: notes on the change of civil name by transgenders. Stylus (Rio J.) [online]. 2017, n.35, pp. 165-175. ISSN 1676-157X.

The demand from transgender people for judicial change of the civil name has been increasingly frequent, and those cases are usually referred by the judges to a psychological evaluation before making their decisions. Once guided by analytical listening, the evaluation device sheds some light on the articulation of the nomination with the legal field. From a case fragment, I defend the hypothesis that the change of civil name is the response that the subject seeks to place themselves in a given sexed position. The change of the name gives the subject the symbolic support that singularizes it and at the same time represents it to the Other. For this, one cannot lose sight of the difference between subject of statement and subject of enunciation, as well as between legal law and symbolic law.
