BENJAMIN GRAMMER
Although the Brazilian LGBTQ+ community has had significant influence in the nation’s art and entertainment industry, more transgender people are murdered each year in Brazil than in any other country in the world. Current views about the community reside in conversations of death and violence, which neglects other facets of trans and travesti life. This paper aims to reframe the idea thatbeing trans equates death and emphasize the resilience, solidarity, and success of the Brazilian trans and travesti communities. However, it must first be acknowledged that anti-queer violence occurs at alarming rates in Brazil, and Black transfeminine people are especially targeted due to the confluence of racism and transphobia Additionally, the recent anti-queer rhetoric and policy from the federal government has only perpetuated this violence. Despite these seemingly insurmountable barriers, though, the travesti community, some of whom work in prostitution, has managed to build networks of solidarity to promote mutual support, access to healthcare, and respectful recognition. Furthermore, many trans and travesti Brazilians have achieved national and international fame and have used their platforms to bring awareness to issues affecting their communities. Trans people have broken barriers in telenovelas watched by millions, graced magazine covers, and positively disrupted (trans)gender norms. In order to effectively fight for an end to the violence against the queer community, it is imperative to highlight the incredible achievements of the Brazilian trans and travesti communities to foster resilience and inspire hope in future generations of queer people.
