In Peru, most of the news about the members of the LGBTI community (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans-gender-sexual, intersexual) stress the physical and psychological abuse. The cases developed in this investigation are about a transgender and a transexual individuals that doesn’t follow the previous approach. This article analyzes how the construction of transgender and transexual people is influenced by economic, cultural and representative dimensions that, at the same time, are related to practices and the collective imagination symbolically legitimized and estimagtized that place each gender identity in a spot of the hierarchy of the social space. In that sense, we depart from the idea that transexual. And transgender people cannot be referred as homogenous groups without considering many variables, such as race and social status, beyond gender, and just as fundamental in order to talk about in much complex way of production of identity process in the media. There lays our main contribution: putting in evidence that, in spite of many academic studies in Peru, the construction of gender does not obey one factor only and that it is reduced to a stigmatized position and even marginal inside the dominant society.
