Descrição
Resumo:This article aims to present, in general, the legal recognition of the possibility of the applicability of the feminicide qualifier and the Maria da Penha Law to transsexual women. The transsexuality refers to the condition of the individual whose gender identity differs from that designated at birth, and who seeks to make the transition to the opposite gender through medical intervention, with the possibility of sexual reassignment surgery, or feminization only masculinization, depending on the gender to be transitioned, through the administration of hormones. The methodologies used to develop the present work are bibliographic and analytical dogmatic. With the bibliographic methodology we have an analysis of the specialized legal literature dedicated to the theme of the recognition of the rights of transsexual people. The analytical dogmatic investigation aims to analyze the applicable legislation and to interpret it in a way that allows the maximum recognition of new rights.
