Confusões e estereótipos: O ocultamento de diferenças na ênfase de semelhanças entre transgêneros
Este trabalho discute as diferenças entre algumas possibilidades de manifestações do fenômeno transgênero, tratando especificamente de travestis, transexuais e drag queens. É importante salientar que mesmo que existam traços comuns entre as diversas formas de experiência transgênero, os discursos desses sujeitos acerca de suas trajetórias enfatizam que há aspectos diferenciadores e principalmente hierárquicos dentro e fora do universo GLS usados para as/os definir, os quais nos mostram o quanto é necessário que se coloque em debate, para além de suas semelhanças, suas especificidades. Nesse sentido, este trabalho visa mostrar como as auto definições utilizadas por esses sujeitos podem não refletir as definições externas que lhes são atribuídas, sem pretender criar alguma espécie de taxionomia. As discussões aqui postas estão embasadas em minha pesquisa etnográfica acerca das corporalidades e performances de drag queens em territórios gays da Ilha de Santa Catarina e estarão perpassadas também pela discussão do conceito de transgênero.
