O cotidiano da Assistente Social com as demandas da população de travestis, mulheres transexuais e homens trans

Abstract

This dissertation is to study the everyday lives of social workers with the population of “travestis” and transsexual people. The overall objective is to analyze and understand the everyday life practice of social workers in meeting the demands of the population of “travestis”, transsexual women and trans men. In this sense, we analyzed the relationship developed between professionals and the user population in the everyday life work of social workers, as well as the underlying professional knowledge necessary for the qualified care provided to “travestis” and transsexual people. From the theoretical point of view, we start from the Hellerian construction of everyday life as a foundation, and from studies on sex, gender and countersexuality as a basis for the discussion of identity and body. The methodological procedures were a qualitative approach based on discourse analysis, with field research conducted with a questionnaire, applied in a virtual way (online) to eighteen social workers. The main results of the research point to a latent theoretical production in social work regarding the “travesti” and transsexual population, but there is a gap in the appropriation of this production by the mass of professionals who work to meet the population's demands. It was also possible to identify the need for insertion of the debate on “Travestilidade” and transsexuality in the professional training process aligned with the hegemonic professional project in order to provide a break with values and ethical principles that limit the possibility of “travestis” and transsexuals. Values and principles that are still reproduced socially and consequently within the profession as a product of the daily relationships to which social workers are inserted in their work practice
