 e  DE TILIO, Rafael. Transsexual's perspective on health care. Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2021, vol.27, n.1, pp.165-184. ISSN 1677-1168.  https://doi.org/10.5752/P.1678-9563.2021v27n1p165-184.

The aim of this paper is to understand how transsexuals signify health care in a public hospital in the Triângulo Mineiro (Brazil) microregion. Nine transexuals were interviewed about contents which were organized into four categories of thematic analysis (conception on transsexuality, information, perception of health care, conception on rights and prejudices). The main results highlighted: transsexuality as an identity experience dissenting from the biological body; the search for body modification; shortcomings and lack of information regarding access to health services and continuity of attendance; occasional discriminatory attitudes by a few health professionals. We consider that the non-consolidation of the basic health care policies can hinder this population from their rights.
