Abstract
The Gender and Sexualities Outpatient Clinic (AmbGen) at the Hospital das Clinicas of the State University of Campinas is one of the
few public devices that welcomes children and adolescents with gender variability. Psychiatry and psychology investigate mental disorders, triggers of psychological distress, dysphorias related to gender incongruity and, in the case of children and adolescents,
welcome families seeking understanding of family dynamics, clarification of doubts and stigmas. Hormonal intervention in adolescence is possible in two moments: at the beginning of puberty, through drug therapy aimed at pubertal block, and the second with cross-hormonization. Body adequacy to the trans person’s gender identity, through hormoneization, is desired by most adults. Art therapy performs services where it seeks to provide adequate standards to relevant issues, using expressive modalities and experiences of creative processes in a differentiated therapeutic way that provides a welcoming environment through an artistic bias. Gender and voice characteristics are very comprehensive, so speech therapy for trans people is not restricted to vocal production, but also relates to other aspects of communication and speech.
