The trans women are considered and treated as abject beings, because they don't frame in the system of gender and sexuality norms effective in the society.With that, there are the stigmatization and discrimination processes to their gender identity, producing the denial of their rights while citizens, including the right to the integral health.On the other hand, recently, public politics turned to that population were produced, with the intention of guaranteeing their human rights.Before that, it was looked for to describe and to understand how the trans women's access to the services of health and the integral health in the municipal district of Curitiba happens, to the light of the social, individual and programmatic practices involved in this process.For so much, semistructured interviews were accomplished, with the use of the scenes resource, with seven trans women residents in Curitiba.For the analysis of the obtained material, they were chosen the scenes that expressed more their (not) access to the integral health, which composed, later, a narrative on the course and existence of them in the health field, having as backdrop the picture of the human rights and of the vulnerability, and the regulatory norms of gender.The exam of that material made possible to observe that the trans women have a path in the health field marked by the violation of their human rights and their right to the health, demonstrating that, no matter how much documents that guarantee those rights exist, their effectiveness in the trans women's daily life bumps into individual, social and programmatic barriers (that are permeated and produced firstly by the regulatory norms of gender), that increase their vulnerability to the illness.To the light of the scenes and narratives brought by the trans women interviewees and of the considerations pointed along this text, with base in the adopted theoretical picture, they are offered in the conclusion some recommendations for the increase of the quality of the current public politics and legislation, so that there is an increase in the effectiveness of the actions ruled in these documents
