Abstract
The depathologization of transsexual and transvestite identities involves a fight against the disease and has had the contributions of several sectors, such as social movements and professional categories. Currently, some considerable achievements in this regard can be identified., among them, a withdrawal from the metadata of Mental Disorders in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11), of the conditions related to sexual health. Psychology has also been in favor of gender diversity as well as sexual orientations. In this context, the present work is structured as a feminist scientific demonstration that discusses the above reflections and the latest information on this demand, from the point of view of a Psychologist that coordinates a work group for the respect of the LGBT population in the 3rd CRP in the BA region and the current debates of the Council System in the defense of Human Rights. For example, the actions of the Federal Council of Psychology and its respective regional councils engaged in LGBT causes have intensified to reprehend paradigms and face the inequalities sustained by the pathologization of the transsexual and transvestite population. Since it is a field still incipient in the profession, it becomes useful to visualize contemporary performances to collaborate with the development of this subject in Psychology as science and profession.
