“…For example, in the research by Grinsztejn et al 21 , held in Rio de Janeiro and in Baixada Fluminense, the sample of 345 participants was also mainly constituted of those who referred to themselves as travestis and transgender women, only being different in that in Rio de Janeiro, most were self-declared travestis, followed by transgender women.

“…Dentre essas alterações, existem algumas mais complexas e outras mais superficiais. Pode-se considerar complexas as que estão vinculadas a mudança de gênero (PINTO, et, al., 2017;SOUSA;IRIART, 2018), por exemplo, e todas as que são realizadas por intermédio de procedimentos cirúrgicos, como as cirurgias plásticas. Associam-se ainda, àquelas que consideramos complexas, as denominadas por alguns autores como extremas ou radicais, que dão ao corpo uma estética diferenciada do padrão/tradicional, não são cirúrgicas, mas são invasivas, (semi)permanentes, possuindo características, muitas vezes, de ser exótica, como o caso da split tongue, dos implantes de silicone, das suspensões, das perfurações nas bochechas ou de implantes de acessórios nos órgãos genitais.…”
