- Abstract
Thinking about sexuality and gender leads to the necessary reflection on how ideas and practices related to them are produced within societies and how they are able to build stigmas that differentiate certain groups of individuals. Violence directed at transvestites and transsexual women is based on prejudice and irrational stigma caused by breaking the expected gender standards. Considering that respect for different identities is essential to ensure human dignity, confronting violence becomes essential to ensure human development. Thus, from the deductive method, and the types of bibliographical and documentary research, the work aims to analyze how Brazilian courts have interpreted the legal system to punish gender violence against the population of transgender women. It is noticed that the Judiciary Power has used Laws n° 11.340/2006 (Maria da Penha), 13.104/2015 (Feminicide) and 7716/1989 (Racism), to punish cases of transphobic violence. In this way, it is an inescapable duty of the democratic Republic to protect minorities against violence and stigmatization, so that everyone can exercise gender and sexuality freely in all their potential.
