The purpose of this article is to establish, based on bibliographical and documentary research, a legal comparison between the Brazilian jurisprudential contribution (Direct Unconstitutionality Action nº 4,275-DF, Supreme Federal Court of Brazil, 2018) and Bill nº 816/2017 (Ley Integral para Personas Trans), recently approved by the Chamber of Deputies of Uruguay, in order to combat discrimination and expand rights for transsexuals, transgenders and transvestites in Brazil, considering the need to expand citizenship for these people: traditionally marginalized. The aim is to discuss the legislation of the two countries selected as an object of research (members of Mercosur), in order to verify if they are promoting Human Rights to Population T. As a result, it is evident that, while Uruguay has made efforts in the positivation of rights and in the recognition of respect for the self-determination of gender identity, Brazil has also walked timidly in the same construction, depending - primarily on jurisprudence and administrative acts for that purpose.
