Ambulatório de Saúde Integral de Travestis e Transexuais do Estado de São Paulo: relatório de duas visitas (2010-2012)
Tendo como base o Processo Transexualizador, este relatório reúne as observações de duas visitas ao Ambulatório de Saúde Integral de Travestis e Transexuais do Estado de São Paulo (ASITT). A primeira (2010) ocorreu um ano após a sua implantação, quando ainda se buscava conhecer melhor seu público-alvo e alguns modelos de atendimento eram testados; a segunda (2012), através de entrevistas, visou conhecer a autocrítica de gestores e profissionais para a sua prática clínica. À luz dos princípios da Bioética, foram observadas: atenção em saúde mental, prescrição da hormonioterapia e demais intervenções médico-cirúrgicas. Priorizaram-se as perspectivas de seus profissionais de saúde quanto à: (i) compreensão para as singularidades e especificidades de travestis e transexuais; e (ii) capacitação para valorar e diferenciar conceitualmente identidades de gênero percebidas como um desafio à lógica heteronormativa.

European human rights commissioner attacks Russian law banning transgender drivers
The Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights has attacked a new Russian law which bans transgender people from obtaining driver’s licenses.
This week, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev enacted new regulations that ban people with ‘sex disorders’ from driving, as the government claims that they are more likely to crash.
The ban applies to anyone deemed to have a “gender identity disorder” – including “transsexualism” and “dual-role transvestism”.
