This paper aims to investigate the experience of transgender people from the perspective of concrete psychoanalytic psychology. It is methodologically organized as a qualitative research, using the psychoanalytical method, in the investigation of 13 YouTube videos, in which people who identify themselves as transgender people report their life experiences. The consideration of this material enabled the recognition of two affective-emotional meaning fields: “Perverse and degenerate” and “To be or not to be real”. Taking Monique Wittig and Donald Winnicott as privileged interlocutors, to reflect about these fields, we come to an overview that indicates that cisheteronormativity can be considered a radical violence against the self, facing sexuality in a reductionist way and attacking the personal feeling, which is a source of creativity and spontaneity.

Palavras-chave : gender; transgender; social suffering; concrete psychoanalytic psychology.
