Abstract

This monograph addresses the medical aspects involved with the possible incorporation of young transgender males into the mandatory Initial Military Service of the Armed Forces in Brazil. The objective of the study is to discuss whether the mandatory military enlistment, in this group of individuals, is supported by their real aptitude for military service, relating the expert documents to the medical particularities involved. The methodology used in the research was an analytical bibliographic and documentary study with a qualitative approach. Several works were raised that discuss issues related to the incorporation of young people into the Initial Military Service in the Brazilian Armed Forces and the medical aspects involved in the gender transition and in the incorporation of young, male transgender conscripts, seeking the scientific theoretical foundation in indexed bases to study the subject in depth. Finally, critical elements, essentials in approaching the process of selection and incorporation of these individuals, were analyzed and discussed, after the mandatory military enlistment.
