Resumo
Pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum period, contrary to what is established by social norms, are not experienced exclusively by cisgender women. This is because, in the absence of gender-affirming surgical procedures, transmasculine individuals are physiologically capable of becoming pregnant. However, when in this position, they must access spaces historically considered feminine, which exposes them to violence and inequities. This dissertation aimed to analyze the discourse of transmasculine individuals regarding the healthcare process during pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum period. The specific objectives were: to discuss the challenges and possibilities experienced by transmasculine people throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum (Article 1); and to examine their experiences in health services during these stages (Article 2). This is a qualitative study involving five participants. Data collection was carried out through individualized projective interviews, scheduled according to participant availability and conducted via the Google Meet platform, in addition to field diary entries. Data analysis followed the perspective of Socioanalysis, a branch of Institutional Analysis. The participants, aged between 22 and 34 years and all self identified as white, revealed key analyzers such as transphobia, gender dysphoria, and obstetric violence. Other relevant themes included the lack of support networks, the role of healthcare professionals, and the structure and practices of healthcare services. The study highlights the need for action across multiple fields of knowledge to transform the reality of trans people who become pregnant. It recommends further research, the implementation of continuing education with the inclusion of gender related topics, and the adoption of measures to strengthen care and align professional practices with ethical principles
