Evolução e aplicação das políticas públicas em saúde para pessoas transexuais : revisão integrativa

Abstract

Introduction: The National Policy on Comprehensive Health for Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transvestites and Transexuals (PNSILGBT) is a watershed for public health policies in Brazil, it is a historic milestone for recognizing the demands of this vulnerable population. Objective: To identify how public policies aimed at the transexual population are debated and applied in the Health Network according to the literature. Methodology: This is an integrative review. The data collection was carried out between July 2021 and December 2022, through the online access of the CAPES Periodicals (Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel), from which there was access to the Virtual Health Library (BVS), which included the LILACS, BDENF and MEDLINE/PUBMED databases. Results: 08 articles were selected, following the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Discussion: It was possible to identify that transexuality is still a topic that has been little debated, this is because there is still a view that it is a pathological state that needs to be cured, which favors the exclusion and social discrimination of this population in the health services, where not even the creation of public policies are sufficient for health promotion. Final Considerations: It is noticed that the creation of public health policies are not sufficient for application in health services, however, producing health is essential for greater dissemination and access by the trans community to health policies and the citizenship that is guaranteed by law.
