SUMMARY:

This study aims to analyze how transvestites and trans women from an inland municipality in the state of Rio Grande do Norte negotiate their presence in the social spaces in which they circulate. This is a qualitative, ethnographic study carried out with nine transvestites and trans women from the state of Rio Grande do Norte. Firstly, I will present the city of Amorável from a sociodemographic perspective, summarizing general characteristics related to its geographical, social and political constitution. In the same way, I will try to show the place that the bodies of these subjects occupy and circulate in the municipality, understanding the category "place" sometimes as a determination of the geographical spaces themselves, sometimes as a circumscription of social and political spaces/roles. Next, I try to understand the strategies that confront the bodies of the subjects with whom I am dialoguing in this research, the barriers imposed on them and the difficulties they encounter in accessing spaces. Finally, I aim to discuss the tactics used by the interlocutors to get to and stay in certain places, in order to understand the ways in which they establish the presence of their bodies by negotiating their performances in these spaces. Their trajectories reveal different ways of looking at transgender issues in the countryside, showing that these categories are not necessarily trapped in the same box of meanings. Through the negotiations they make about their performances, such as the use or disuse of their social names, they circulate among the spaces that are generally neglected for these bodies. These negotiations do not delegitimize their identities, and are therefore understood by them as necessary and possible movements to occupy and circulate their bodies in spaces.
