Transsexuality is defined as the condition of individuals whose gender identity differs from the sexassigned at birth. In the school environment, students who are part of the trans community face significant challenges such as social acceptance, discrimination, and lack of inclusion by members of the school community, which affects their academic performance. Including content about transsexuality in schools is essential to changing this reality. Various approaches can be used, primarily focusing on raising awareness and education. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a teaching sequence to address the topic of transsexuality in Science education for 8th grade students. To achieve this, a bibliographic survey was conducted based on dissertations, theses, scientific journal articles, and book chapters available in various virtual libraries such as Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Google Scholar, and educational journals. The bibliographic survey was conducted from April to June, using articles from 2000 to 2024. The development of the teaching sequence serves as an alternative to guide pedagogical practice in addressing a topic still considered new in education. As a result, 13 articles, dissertations, and theses were selected from the bibliographic survey, which were extensively discussed regarding their relevance to themes such as mental health in the school environment, teacher training, and the impact of limited visibility of transsexuality in curricular documents. A teaching sequence was also developed aiming for both theoretical and practical learning for students. Finally, the implementation of gender identity and sexuality themes is ongoing, particularly in the educational and social contexts. Although progress is slow, there have been significant advances in the visibility and rights of the LGBT community in recent years. To ensure that future generations respect individuals' choices regarding their sexuality, it is essential to discuss these themes in the school environment from an early age.
