The consequences of changes in gender, sexuality, body and corporality experienced by masculine lesbians who transition to transsexual men are socially related to processes of acceptance and integration. Regarding health, reports of chronic degenerative diseases such as diabetes and hypertension are the most frequent. The economic costs range from hormone replacement treatment and surgical interventions to the legal procedures of gender change in the acts and different official documents that provide citizenship status to people. Using the constitution of the subject and labor trajectories instrument, the life history and labor trajectory of five transsexual men who previously identified as masculine lesbians were recovered, which allowed enabled the identification and analysis of changes, consequences and transformations that occurred in their body, corporality, family, social and work relationships.
