Transexualidade e direitos das pessoas trans : o que pensam os alunos de Serviço Social da Universidade Federal de Sergipe

Abstract

This study aims to analyze how the students of the Social Service course of the Federal University of Sergipe (UFS) understand transsexuality and the rights of trans people, taking as reference what the Federal Council of Social Service Resolutions (CFESS) that deal with the subject, and the principles contained in the Code of Ethics that guides the professional practice of social workers. It is a research of the descriptive type, of quantitative-qualitative character and that was referenced in the historical-dialectical materialist method. Bibliographical, documentary and empirical research was used. The results indicate that students, in general, know and also respect the rights of trans people, but still have doubts about the concepts that can better explain the subject matter here. The vast majority do not know the CFESS Resolutions that allow social workers to use the social name and almost all do not know the existence of the Resolution that regulates the work of the social worker in the transexualizer process.
