Abstract

This article aims to promote reflections on the role of communication in the inclusion of transvestites in the organizational environment. It is assumed that organizations are a space marked by discrimination and prejudice against identities other than the man, white, cisgender and heterosexual. A conceptual research was used, with bibliographical and interpretative character, based on studies of communication and gender. If we consider the communication as a humanization factor, this essay results in a reflection on the transforming potential of communication and on the need of the current communicator to promote spaces to dialogue and inclusion in organizations. As a conclusion, it was decided to present an outline of guidelines for the development of an environment prepared to receive the transvestite, to value her and to recognize her as an individual and also as part of the whole.
