Os efeitos da (in)corporação das normas: os cotidianos de mulheres LBTs

Abstract

The conception of bodies is a challenge because it takes place within a process of cultural signification. The fruit of this construction, beyond the sexual organ, will influence peoples lives. What does it mean to be a woman? What does it mean to be a Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender (LBT) woman in Brazil today? In this dissertation, the objectives were to actively collaborate in the construction of public policies aimed at the LBT public and to ascertain the educational force of institutionalized parliamentary politics. This makes us question the predominant way of doing politics. To do this, we paid attention to the effects of gender norms, hegemonic models of masculinity, erected in opposition to femininity and sexual orientations that need constant vigilance in order to exist, combating LBTphobia. The aim is to understand the possibility of the school field organizing itself more effectively to achieve social emancipation, with the support of the parliamentary field. The first challenge is to analyze the impact of public policies on the bodies of LBT women between 2020 and 2023, based on the experiences of a teacher who was part of the gender team of a Quilombo Mandate. With the methodology of daily life, which brought echoes of my experience as a parliamentary advisor, with the help of theoretical references and, added to the various experiences of other comrades, which were important for creating tactics of resistance to the practices of silencing and control that insist on imposing themselves on us in the political field. The challenge of this research was to relate these effects to a new way of doing politics, in the hope that in the coming years we can continue to demand our rights and make lesbian, bisexual and transgender identity visible within educational and political institutions, including all social spaces, educating for new relationships that escape normativism and the prescriptive model.
