This research emerges from my fascination with a rarely explored subject: the limited representation of transgender individuals within educational institutions. Our focus centers on transgender adolescents within the educational setting, hailing from diverse sociocultural backgrounds. Our primary goal is to cultivate a comprehensive understanding of this phenomenon, recognizing these individuals as pivotal agents, placing a strong emphasis on their narratives and encountersthroughout their educational journeys. The paucity of discourse surrounding this particular cohort has profoundly driven my commitment to scholarly investigations relating to this domain. This master s dissertation strives, as its principal aspiration,to decipher the experiences of transgender young individuals during their educational odysseys in the city of Rio de Janeiro, in addition to unraveling their outlooks and navigating the hurdles they encounter. In this endeavor, we delve into the quotidian experiences, biases, and stereotypes encountered by these youngindividuals in educational establishments, encompassing elements such as the scarcity of support and the impediments to acquiring knowledge. The project unfolds through three specific aims: (1) Scrutinize the educational passages of transgender adolescents, highlighting facetslinked to retention or attrition and the underlying rationales governing such choices; (2) Probe into how the issue of gender identity among young individuals is addressed within the legal framework and public policies, via a meticulous review of the academic literature, with a distinct concentration on the city of Rio de Janeiro; (3) Undertake comprehensive one-on-one interviews with transgender young individuals, aged between 18 and 29, with particular emphasis on their educational experiences. This qualitative and exploratory exploration provides a platform for these young individuals to convey their personal narratives and contemplations regarding their transgender journey,especially within the framework of their educational expedition. Educational institutions should wield a consequential role in sculpting and nurturing these young individuals since theyinvest a substantial chunk of their existence therein. Thus, our ultimate aspiration isto acquire a more all-encompassing comprehension of the educational trajectories of transgender young individuals, thereby contributing to the body of knowledge concerning the perspectives of these individuals in the context of educational environments.
