Transsexualism and transgenderism are not current phenomena, they have existed for a long time in multiple cultures. The changes that the term transsexualism has undergone and the interest of the scientific community that is evidenced in the production of articles in recent decades, are a reflection of the importance of the trans issue that has emerged as a matter of growing interest and that is being studied from different perspectives. The objective of this study is to determine if the difficulties faced by trans people when making the request for sex reassignment in the Colombian health system constitutes a violation of their fundamental rights, it has been proposed to carry out through the analysis of the law and Colombian jurisprudence in this regard and a case study that allows observing the struggle of people with a diversity of gender so that their rights are recognized.
