Objective:
To analyze the representation of access pathways to the transsexualizing process in Brazil and the main barriers faced by transgender people.
Method:
A scoping review of the literature was conducted. Searches took place in January 2024, with articles and reviews that addressed access to the transsexualizing process being eligible, while books, chapters, conferences, editorial documents, and studies describing surgical procedures were excluded.
Results:
A total of 776 articles were found, of which 9 were included. 66% of the studies analyzed were field research involving interviews. The findings highlight the 5 stages of the transsexualizing process: care at primary healthcare centers, referral, multidisciplinary follow-up, surgical procedure, and local care for individuals.
Conclusion:
The studies focused on the barriers to accessing the transsexualizing process, rather than on the access pathways themselves, highlighting a gap in the understanding of the access itineraries to the process. rather than on the access pathways themselves, highlighting a gap in understanding the itineraries to the process.
