Experiências de pessoas trans - ensino de biologia

Abstract

Meetings with trans people experiences produced empty spaces, confrontations, blurrings, gaps, unorganization and conflicts about the dominant thoughts about bodies, genders and sexualities, revealing to me hints that other narratives may exist beyond a static map in teaching Biology. Aspects that were relevant to insist in the approximation of trans people experiences and Biology because they had made a change in my view from what was always considered as central, nuclear, essential to understand the functioning of Biology and for what was described as periferic, less important, pathologic, abnormal and at borders. With that, I made a hibridation and created what I name trans people experiences - Biology teaching -. For that I opted for using cartography to accompany the movements of this creation, as an open map of its sets, lines, knowledges, powers and deterritorialization. On this way, I made efforts to cartograph and map the agency of the trans people experiences - Biology teaching meetings, observing the possible resonances that this alliance could produce on the expansion, experimentation and opening to other ways of life to the teaching of Biology. The venture ran along education spaces, from high school to graduation. At schools there were meetings with (trans and not trans) Biology teachers and a student who has declared as being trans. In colleges, teachers (trans and not trans) that work with or have a graduation in Biological Sciences. A graduation student, trans, was also in the group. The discussion, inconclusive, brought by this travel to the territory of Biology teaching reveal the hardness of the traditional binary logic. Also, the opposition to sexual differences jailed in a genetic, organic and phisiological cage, which captures, naturalize and make homogeneous trans people experiences inside the narratives and borders of Science. It brings to the subject great agitation because of their meanings. Meetings with casualties, points, necessity of clarifying arrows, adjectives, forms, bodies full of organs all previously organized and regulated through Biology. Although it being a harsh way, a slow one, hard to come back, it was possible to cartograph the tempests, leakings, flight lines and several blank spaces on these territories. Resonances that flooded with the teaching in Biology of sexuality, sex, bodies and genders, as a regime flow all in experimentation, operations, affectations, relations, connections among surfaces, powers, biological, historical and political area energies, undoing the organic totality, putting an end to subjectivities and people experiences. A travel that was changing me at every movement of the thesis progression when implicating me in the meetings, speeches and affects, passing by an experimentation that potentialized dislocations, openings and the generating of unstability of Sandro’s idea as something produced, temporary and inconstant. I resisted, I cried and I smiled.
