Description
Summary:Considering the forces that go through and determine it is a condition for occupational therapists to act from the perspective of citizenship with the populations that are opposite to the meanings and materiality of heteronormativity. [...]this essay aims to produce reflections anchored in social occupational therapy that help to understand the constant attacks on the rights of the dissident people in genders and sexualities and how these situations of violence cross their everyday life and the praxis of occupational therapists with these populations. [...]there is a debate on how these problems lead to impediments and invisibilizations of performative activities in the various everyday life of dissident people in genders and sexualities. What previously seemed to make up a hidden agenda acquires evidence and legitimacy. [...]the 2016 coup is not a point of arrival, but of resuming a project negotiated between conservative political forces for the maintenance of power, with offensive actions, such as the dismantling of social protection; the restriction of civil and political rights of vulnerable groups; and the increase in the power of action and veto of fundamentalist religious sectors (Quinalha, 2016), which resulted in the election of the current president, Jair Bolsonaro, defender of this agenda. According to Gallego (2016a, 2016b, 2018), multiple factors are generated with the democratic crisis and the reorganization of conservative groups and/or the radicalized right that threatens the most fundamental rights and go beyond impeachment.
