Resumo
Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo central a compreensão do modo pelo qual as pessoas trans têm se apropriado de espaços online de interação a fim de fomentar debates políticos, e tecer redes de solidariedade e sociabilidade, e de que forma essas interlocuções repercutem na formação de uma consciência política em torno dos direitos dessas pessoas. Para tal, parto da investigação da proliferação desses espaços, tomando como ponto de partida um grupo da plataforma Facebook, (mas não permanecendo apenas nele), visto não somente o quantitativo de membros no grupo, mas, principalmente, as temáticas frequentemente discutidas e a participação ativa de um elevado número de participantes nas discussões. Utilizo-me da etnografia multissituada como aporte teóricometodológico, especialmente no que diz respeito ao entrecruzamento entre as interações on e offline, tendo em vista que o acesso a novas possibilidades tecnológicas e a novos espaços de discussão, associada a transformações sociais e políticas tendem a modificar a forma com que as pessoas trans experienciam os sentidos atribuídos ao ser e se tornar pessoa trans, e a buscar alternativas de enfrentamento em relação aos mecanismos que garantem a delimitação de espaços, dinâmicas e direitos. Desse modo, ao buscar analisar os discursos que são acionados a partir das discussões nesses espaços e a forma com que eles marcam espaços offline de interação, utilizo-me do referencial teórico Queer, e dos estudos feministas, além do estudo sócio antropológico sobre mídias digitais.

To do so, I proceed from the investigation of the proliferation of these spaces, taking as a starting point a group of the Facebook platform, (but not remaining only in it), seen not only the number of members in the group, but mainly the topics often discussed and the active participation of a large number of participants in the discussions. I use multi-situational ethnography as a theoretical and methodological contribution, especially in relation to the interlinking between on and offline interactions, given that access to new technological possibilities and new spaces of discussion, associated with social and political transformations tend to to change the way in which trans people experience the meanings attributed to being and become a trans person, and to seek alternatives to coping with the mechanisms that guarantee the delimitation of spaces, dynamics and rights. Thus, in seeking to analyze the discourses that are triggered from the discussions in these spaces and the way in which they mark offline spaces of interaction, I use Queer's theoretical framework and feminist studies, as well as the anthropological socio-digital study on digital media.
