TRANSGÊNERO E INCLUSÃO ESCOLAR NO BRASIL: DESAFIOS, POLÍTICAS E PRÁTICAS

Abstract

The inclusion of trans students in public schools is a central theme for the promotion of equality, respect for diversity and guarantee of human rights. It involves creating safe and welcoming environments where trans students can fully participate in school activities without discrimination or embarrassment. Among the challenges faced are prejudice on the part of colleagues, teachers, and family members, the need for clear policies on the use of social names and bathrooms, and the adequate training of education professionals to deal with gender identity issues. The implementation of inclusive practices contributes to the socio-emotional development of trans students, promoting self-esteem, academic performance, and active participation in the school community. In addition, it reinforces the importance of education as a space for citizenship, respect for differences and combating violence and bullying. Public policies, teacher training, and dialogue with families and students are essential to consolidate inclusion and ensure that all students have the right to a fair and equal education.
