Abstract

This article is the result of the dialogical process with Wall Alves, a trans woman, and Nina Helena, a black transvestite, through an oral life story. Their narratives carry personal memories, but at the same time collective and plural ones, highlighting violations of the rights of women and feminities that deviate from the norm. However, in the face of the devices driven by heteroterrorism, more than simply denouncing, their speeches reveal the courage to confront death (symbolic and physical) and to produce hers presence in the record of a new history.
