RESUMO:

Knowledge produced in the field of health on the experience of trans men is still concentrated on the pathologization, essentialization of identities and individualization of eminently social aspects of the trans experience. This has contributed towards the production of suffering in this group, either due to the compulsory requirement of conforming their performance to the criteria of eligibility for access to healthcare, or to the processes of disengagement, stigmatization and exclusion on account of being certified as sick. The objective was to analyze the practice of trans men for producing a better life. The Actor-Network Theory emerges as a useful approach to provide insights on the dynamics of trans men in living their lives – a routine conducted through the inter-action among different groups, senses, institutions and things. The research technique was the Shadowing, used to accompany, during nine months, three trans men in their networks of associations. To resist, in the context of this study, takes up the sense of a “determination to exist”. Hence, resist-existing addresses the practices of trans men to produce a better life for themselves, steeped in the context of rejection for dissenting from the standards of gender. This could mean from strategies for coexisting or not with family members to complex architectures for maintaining their existence. In their practices, the agents of this research evoked such diverse and complex actors as are their lives. Beer; testosterone; parents; friends; buddies; doctors; social movements; trans collectives; software for smartphones; food; online virtual social networks; health, justice, higher education institutions; healthcare services; catholic saints; candles; rosaries; medicaments and a countless network of actors, elements of an unstable cloud of practices producing a better life. The constitution of the trans man from the mimesis of the cis-man or antithesis of the cis-woman puts the trans man in a lower place and establishes a narrative is presented in biomedical practices, in some academic practices, and the practices of political disputes with this population. This is embodied by some trans men and produces suffering in their experiences by putting them in unattainable paths and in no way producing care. However, other arrangements are starting points "from" trans identities, in which a better life, a multiple reality, emerges and operates realities capable of disputing with the cisheteronormative constructs. Aesthetics, semiology, trans narratives and materiality that do not stem from the cis-gender as mandatory alterity are powers that cry out to be strengthened and find/produce echoes in some trans people with whom my paths have crossed during the organization of this study
