Social exclusion and political awareness: transgender struggle and activism in ENTLAIDS

Abstract

This article discusses about the social exclusion of Transgenders. Overcome the dialectic of exclusion is one of the greatest challenges of society towards the social justice, and we want to reflect political militancy role in the process of subjective construction of the social condition of political subjects. For that, we look for the understanding of how ENTLAIDS - Encontro Nacional de Travestis e Transexuais que Atuam na Luta e Prevenção à AIDS (National Meeting of Transvestites and Transexuals who act in the AIDS combat - can constitute as privileged militancy space and formation of political consciousness regarding participation of collectives actions which focus the facing of the perverse social exclusion dialectic.
