Objective: to understand the perception of quality of life of transvestites who are sex workers.
Method: a qualitative and exploratory study. The starting point was a social space in the city of
Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil. The participants were located through the snowball technique. A semistructured
questionnaire with guiding questions was applied, with participation of seven individuals,
by means of theoretical saturation. The data were recorded and analyzed based on content
thematic analysis and similarity analysis. For validation and reliability, methodological and researcher
triangulation was adopted. Results: three classes were obtained: “Respect for the social name and
recognition of the trans identity”; “The importance of formal insertion and employability” and
“Social well-being, education and housing”. The result was a similarity tree with the most significant
words. Conclusion: It was possible to identify other narratives about the quality of life of transvestites
who are sex workers, which breaks with the common sense that relates any and all marginalized and
unintelligible conception to transvestites.
