Transsexuals are individuals who feel out of place in their own bodies, facing constant conflicts between identity and biology and still face barriers and social prejudices. The subjectivity approach present in transsexual bodies assumes relevance in the contemporary scenario to foster discussions of gender, prejudice and social inclusion, through the problem of dominance of the body. This article aims to identify the subjectivity present in the transsexual body presented in the cinematographic works Transamérica and The Danish Girl.
