I am a trans man, I present my story, my struggle:

from the impossibility, I became a possibility

Abstract

Transgender people suffer constant violence, being stigmatized and marginalized in society for subverting the standards of gender roles. The most varied types of violence are filed, however, the discussion remains on the sidelines, literally peripheral, mainly in the sphere of public policy. However, they manage to go beyond pain and suffering and resize their gaze on themselves, on the other and on life. Thus, this research is relevant due to the paucity of theoretical framework and the knowledge gap in the Amazon region scenario. Therefore, the study aimed to understand the perception of transgender people about their historicity and their ways of coping and overcoming. The research is qualitative, descriptive and exploratory and used the parameters of the phenomenological method of research in psychology. Data collection was performed through audio-recorded phenomenological interviews and was based on a guiding question and resulted in developments where senses and meanings of the speeches were identified. Two trans men were considered participants and the data analysis was based on the theoretical framework of Martin Heidegger. Four categories of analysis were elaborated: 1. Being who I am: trail my walk; 2. Prejudice is experienced; 3. The gaze of the other: it is necessary to reflect, go beyond prejudice;4. My suggestion to you: make it possible! It is concluded that coping with and transcending transphobic, prejudiced and discriminatory situations allows people to go beyond their sexual orientation and gender identity and perceive themselves as beings of possibility, including the ability to contribute to the other who is in suffering, can face it and go on affirming that the im-possibility became a possibility.
