Trayectorias Educativas de las Personas Trans en Situación de Prostitución: Dilemas y Desafíos en el Norte Argentino.

In this paper, we propose to account how people in prostitution have been educated in the field of sexuality, both in family and in school. Institutions which produce, reproduce and maintain the social order established by the patriarchal culture, which is ruled by patters that define man and women's roles. Therefore, those who adopt different gender identities than acceptable are morally rejected; consequently, trans people have to resort to prostitution as the only possible activity performed by their gender. These reflections are part of a research on transsexuals in prostitution in Santiago del Estero, Argentina, which uses as its instrument collection data of life stories. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
