Abstract

This article aims to identify the increase in the leading role of the State regarding the implementation of public policies that solidify fundamental rights and securities provided within the Federal Constitution of 1988, especially when it comes to an excluded minority such as the transgender population of the LGBTQIA+ community. As we live in a heteronormative society, this means that a good amount of people who do not fit the standards imposed by such society is being excluded from the fundamental rights intended by the legal system, violating the Democratic Rule of Law. The reasearch method used was deductive reasoning, as the definitions and concepts of several correlated areas with common points of intersection are used. From the perspective of Articles V and VI of the Federal Constitution and the social interpretation of the subject in discussion, it can be concluded that this community's access to high-quality health care could decrease the inequality that is embedded within society and reduce the gap in all aspects of life. That is, receiving adequate treatment through quality and professional medical care is a way to allow this community, as they live on the margins of society, the dignity ensured by the Federal Constituition.

 

Keywords: Right to Healthcare. Transgender Population. Minority Rights. Social State. Fundamental Rights.
