Diversidade e cidadania: um estudo propositivo acerca da inclusão da comunidade LGBTQIA+ na justiça eleitoral

Abstract

The electoral registry contains personal information about all voters in Brazil. Currently there are information about gender identity, to inform whether the person is cisgender or transgender and about gender itself. About the gender, it is only possible to inform whether the person is male or female, as if all human beings could only belong to one of those two genders. This binary logic is heavily criticized by Queer Theory - which highlights that if a person does not identify as a man or a woman, they are treated as abnormal - and national and international human rights documents provide norms that ensure respect for gender self-determination and equality among all people. This work conducted studies and ultimately presented proposals to expand the access to citizenship to people who do not fit into the binary logic of gender, as can happen with intersex and non-binary individuals, so that the Electoral Justice of Brazil become more inclusive and egalitarian.
