Objective:
To analyze the structure and contents of transgender women’s social representations of their bodies and body modification practices.
Methods:
Research conducted with 92 women using the Snowball technique. The data were collected using the free evocation of words technique and processed by the Evoc software, which organized the central and peripheral elements.
Results:
The representation of the real body includes two structuring aspects: one related to the need to adapt/modify the body conformation according to the self-reported gender, because of the dissatisfaction with the body itself; the second reveals the happiness/satisfaction considering the results obtained through the body modification/adaptation practices adopted in the transition.
Final considerations:
The body is constituted as a complex object and was represented by elements that reinforce the understanding of body modifications as needs, with a view to satisfaction, personal fulfillment, and care of one’s own body.

Objectives:
to learn and analyze the structure of nurses’ social representations about transvestite people.
Methods:
a qualitative research based on the Theory of Social Representations, with 110 nurses enrolled in Graduate Nursing courses, who answered the Free-Association Test, with the stimulus ‘transvestite’. Data were processed by the software Ensemble de Programmes Permettant I’ Analysedes Évocations.
Results:
in the central nucleus, the term “prejudice” was the most evoked, followed by “homosexual”, “identity” and “female-make-up”. Social representation is anchored in the social organization in which transvestite people are still seen and/or associated with homosexuals who make up and assume an identity, without being seen and/or understood as they really are.
Final Considerations:
although prejudice is noteworthy as a central element, terms present in the peripheral system reveal that the group recognizes transvestites as a person with rights, which can translate into health care practices.
