ABSTRACT
This discussion produces a perspective beyond the Anglo-American view of production and circulation of scientific knowledge and can facilitate collaborative epistemic dialogues that address spatially constituted sexual diversity. In the second section we discuss how the geopolitics of knowledge affects not only the select academic world, but also the everyday experiences and the social and political movements of Brazilian travestis and transsexuals. In this section we highlight the idea that anglophone scientific hegemony can result in the silencing of specific sexual groups in the peripheries.
