This thesis aims at identifying the possible demands of transvestites and transsexuals regarding public policies implementation, especially those related to social care and health. Working on this subject is important in order to reach a deeper reflection on gender identity and to enable debates about special rights related to health and welfare for that segment. It is understood by gender identity, the individual formation of the myself from your self-understanding by the male/female gender, which may or not correspond to the real sex of the person at the time of their birth. As such, a qualitative research, based on the methodology of oral stories, was carried out based on transsexuals were allowed to express their experiences, family relationships, discrimination and related social policies. They also revealed the unpreparedness of professionals in the health and welfare areas and the lack of programs and activities that fulfill their specific demands. Transvestites and transsexuals are stigmatized by the society and neglected by public policies. Their daily life is characterized by discrimination, exclusion and violence, which also influences the construction and formation of their own identity. Therefore, it is required a dialogue among the National Policies for Health, the National Policies for Welfare and other social policies to ensure that the rights of all citizens are recognized regardless of their gender identity.
