This article presents part of the results of a research that aims to discuss and stress the construction and (dis) arrangement of gender scripts in childhood, perceiving the situations that are at stake when the subject refers to the constitution of body, gender and sexuality of children, especially in relation to the subject of transsexuality. The methodology used was the interview-narrative with three trans women and three trans men. Seeking theoretical support in Gender Studies, post-structuralist inspiration, as well as in the Queer Studies, one can conclude that: a) transsexuality is a contingent identity expression that undergoes constant and heterogeneous normative social and family regulations. b) pastoral power and the repressive hypothesis become technologies with a view to regulating bodies. c) even in the face of all the repressions suffered, children who have a gender variant operate techniques to subvert the cisheteronorma.
