Abstract
STEWART, Veronica; NARODOWSKI, Mariano and CAMPETELLA, Maria Delfina. Trans Childhood: Another Disruption in Modernity Schools. Rev. colomb. educ. [online]. 2021, n.82, pp.263-280. Epub Apr 04, 2022. ISSN 0120-3916. https://doi.org/10.17227/rce.num82-10804.
This article attempts to illustrate the theoretical consequences of the presence of trans students in schools. It's assumed that this new situation arises from the new roles played by adults and children, and from the resulting transformation in the authority and power relation that mediates between them. It seeks to comprehend the virtual impact this situation has in school technology insofar making such a radical decision as changing their gender identity gives children high levels of autonomy. This article argues that school both makes up and is made up by childhood while it also plays a key role in their students' gender subjectivity. The study concludes that trans students are disruptive for school technology since their mere presence contradicts the school notion of childhood as heteronomous and vulnerable, and gender as biologically determined and thus, unalterable.
