- Abstract
This article analyzes the concept of abjection, in the vision of Julia Kristeva and from the discussion of Berenice Bento, to understand how the figure of transvestites and transsexuals is represented in the imaginary of society. The crimes of hatred, social repulsion and disgust are taken as a starting point to discuss social abjection and its senses. Converging with the points of reflection of Judith Butler, Monique Wittig and Gayle Rubin, the vision of the psychoanalysis by Lacan and the graphs of sexuation has been brought to. It is concluded that the violence against the trans and transvestite population has born of pre-symbolic anguish against the fissure in the certainty of the sex/gender that the figures considered as abject stammer. However, it is important to highlight the erasure of transvestite and transsexual bodies, which even when evidenced in the emergence of discourses today are erased in the representation by cisgenerity.
