RESUMO

Abstract This paper investigates the opportunities for the law to be used as a tool for social change by Trans people in Colombia. It compares the retributions that the rights discourse has given to us through lawsuits we have filed to demand our gender identity, in light of legal reforms advanced by NGOs in the LGBTI sector. The first case examines how a legal awareness has been forged that urges Trans people to redefine the social meanings by which we are read. The second case warns that these organizations systematically reproduce hegemonic social arrangements. Therefore, the paper concludes that the law provides a localized and limited potential for emancipation of Trans people.
