INTRODUCTION/OBJECTIVES: The specific Trans care in health on the primary care associated to comprehensive health care still bumps in several barriers to be effective. That way, we seek to problematize this health care from the development of an Internship in Family and Community Medical Residency on the Ambulatory of Comprehensive Care In Health for Travesties and Transgenders. EXPERIENCE REPORT: The lack of knowledge on gender issues associated to HIV/Aids/Prostitution, moral/religious judgement about sexual practices are some examples of the barriers that illegitimate those subjects as citizens. Therefore, seeking to problematize those and other questions the Internship Body, Sexuality and gender was created on the Family and Community Medical Residency Program of the Universidade Federal de Uberlandia, Brazil. RESULTS/CONCLUSIONS: Initially it was decided to make discussions of the health care for LGBT population, but as it was evidenced that the travesties and transgender population questions all the social rules based on heterosexuality, a deeper discussion as made about those questions. From a bibliographical review of the literature and from the experience of the interns and from the Ambulatory of Comprehensive Care In Health for Travesties and Transgenders it was identified an absence of works based on the health care on Primary Care, showing the lack of knowledge of those demands in health and on this population. With that, it was allowed to think the life potential beyond the invisibility barriers.
