Abstract— A systematic qualitative review of State of the Art type
developed to know the scientific evidence which exhibits Brazilian
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transvestite, and Transgender people experience.
Texts included the LGBT population from 18 years of age. Inclusion
criteria involved articles which investigated LGBT population experiences
in diverse social institutions and time frame from 2009 to 2019. This
research was conducted (February-April/2019) in four scientific
databases aiming to identify texts in Portuguese. We followed the PICo
protocol for elaborating the starting question, the PRISMA for eligibility,
and Meta-Aggregation in Phenomenological perspective for analysis. We
included fifteen articles and those found are presented in two categories of
qualitative synthesis. Pathologization, stigma, and prejudice earmark
LGBT relationships and institutions, reinforced by heteronormativity.
However, there is a health guarantee from Transexualizer Process. This
review points out low evidence about the transgender experience in social
environments and portrays that institutional violence stands out in
disrespect for human rights.
I. INTRODUCTION
The sexuality approach has a hard and complex historic
referral in Brazil, closely following, although, with great
modesty, the unveiling of facts that happened in the Old
World, in already developed first-world countries.
Foucault (2014) asserts in the first volume of his work The
History of Sexuality I that the theme was retracted to the
alcoves with European bourgeoisie outbreak when
speeches are used as power devices and marriage was
unveiled as reproduction-intended, controlling, since then,
bodies.
The logic that the biological binary man and woman,
male and female is the pattern model and adequate puts
any other kind of gender and/or sexual identity
manifestation, as well as a sexual orientation as an affront
to values and moral costumes which are rooted in the
patriarchate, a system that has like central figure the father,
male, family provider, as well as implementation of
heteronormativity as correct conduct (Pinto & Silva,
2019).
The State, as a maximum instance, which controls all
and everyone, developed what Foucault called as
biopower, a mechanism of body domination in any
situation that happens outside the patriarchal pattern of a
mononuclear and traditional family, establishing, making it
a disorder of any other gender expression or sexual
manifestation which are not opposed to oneself, as it
happened with the madness phenomenon. Therefore, men
who had/have sex with men, women who had/have sex
with women, people who cross-dress or transit between
genders due to their non-recognition with gender and birth
biological sex and so many other situations are
immediately pathologized. It means a disease to be treated,
arising thus homosexualism, lesbianism, transsexualism,
hermaphroditism among other terms with suffix -ism
