Abstract
This article has the purpose of understanding, from narratives of lesbians from the interior of the state of São Paulo, the ways in which gender performativity and educational trajectories are articulated. In order to do so, we conducted seven open interviews from a narrative perspective, and these interviews were analyzed from the contributions of Gender Studies with a feminist perspective. Based on the data constructed during this study, we came to the conclusion that the visibility and hypervisibility were conditioned to the participants’ gender performativity, and their corporealities were observed, controlled, negotiated, refuted and educated in such a way that lesbophobia acted as an educational resource.
