The authors aim to analyze how the concept of “transsexuality” is formulated as a diagnostic category, from a cisgender and heteronormative perspective, has led to systems of control, surveillance and oppression against trans people. In order to discuss institutional violence directed against trans people, an anarchist lens of analysis appears — insofar as anarchism produces blunt criticism of the very existence of the State and its institutions, and not only of its structuring possibilities — as well as a decolonial one — insofar as violence against trans people is the outcome of a colonial regime.
