Abstract
Background:
The legitimacy of social equity as understood today is a relatively recent phenomenon in human history. It acquires theoretical and political centrality in the 19th century and expands through the avatars of the 20th century.
Objective:
To analyze the faces of the inequities suffered by the trans homeless population in Costa Rica through a narrative review.
Method:
A reflective and argumentative analytical essay.
Results:
The cross-border construction of a (pseudo)homogeneous society has led to a concatenation of violence against the homeless trans population. In a way, the starting point of this segregationist look rests on a society that has a deteriorated vision on the real meaning of equity and social inclusion.
Conclusions:
It seems important to understand the inequality drawn in the street space, understanding it as a habitat that strengthens social distances/gaps and that systematizes the exclusion of an already abandoned population.
