Abstract

The trans-sexual condition and its notorious treatment, transgenitalization surgery, impacts modern society, due to the special situations in law which demand specifically directed legal treatments. A juridical trend is extant worldwide on the acknowledgement of trans-sexual rights legislated to warrant their identity, dignity, health and other factors. Since Brazil has still to adapt itself to these laws, the juridical reflections on transgenitalization surgery are seen within the limits of infra-constitutional norms which do not include transsexual people. Limits are dealt with in current analysis by reviewing the legal texts and the doctrine on the theme.
