Abstract
This text aims to problematize the conceptualization of gender in the field of Psychology, in articulation with homosexuality and anchored by the decolonial feminist epistemology in our science and profession. For this, we will base this critical essay on a theoretical discussion, using elements of literary and aesthetic character as resources to produce knowledge in Psychology. We will also consider some singularities and concerns regarding the elaborations on gender and homosexuality, based on studies in our area. This debate was proposed before the assessment that homosexuality is partially invisiblized and silenced in the interior contexts, including in the field of Psychology, which has acted from a universalist perspective and which has neglected understanding the subjectivation processes of homosexualities in this place. The idea is to stimulate the academic study of these issues, presenting elements around gender, sexuality, homosexuality, and some literary parameters regarding the construction of narratives, considering previous problematizations in Psychology about this dilemma. We approach the subjectivations of gender and homosexuality to stimulate the epistemological debate that allows more research, and promote advances in the formative processes of future psychologists, in a contextualized and gendered way.
