This paper investigates the way that gender transitions have been performed in the virtual territory of YouTube through the practice of vlogging, from a post-colonial perspective of Health and Social Psychology, in discussion with african philosophy authors. Ways of experiencing gender and sexuality have achieved new options with the use of biotechnologies as a possibility of body construction and production of the self. From the narratives analyzed, about experiences of binary and non-binary transition, the paper addresses the games between health and access implied in engendering body policies that enable the establishment of relations with gender transition. The experiences of production of non-binary bodies have enabled us to think about negotiations with knowledges produced on gender transitions in the present. Hence, the research favors a reflection on the relation between the human and the corporeity experience, by considering the biotechnologies as part of a mode of subjectivation that is typical of our historical time.
