This is a systematic review study on transsexuality in health journals. The methodological trajectory was as follows: (1) search in electronic databases (2005-2015) with the descriptors “Physical Education”, “physical exercises”, “physical activities”, “body”, “bodily practices”, “transsexual”, “transsexuals”, and the operators “and” and/or “or”; (2) reading of titles/abstracts; (3) first inclusion; (4) application of the relevance test; (5) final inclusion (n=29); (6) organization and discussion in categories (socio-historical construction, health policy, activism, and gender identity), based on the results. Studies about biological and psychological aspects that treat transsexuality as a pathology were found to prevail. On the other hand, an increase was also found in productions looking into this topic in a more holistic light in health sciences and consequently Physical Education.
