Being a travesti service member in a predominantly male-chauvinist environment means facing complex challenges. The search for respect and acceptance collides with deeply ingrained prejudices, creating a unique duality: being a protector while seeking one's own protection. The lack of understanding within the work group impacts not only the team's effectiveness, but also the mental health of the travesti service member.

Gender discrimination compromises group cohesion, undermining the trust that is essential in military environments. Breaking stereotypes is vital to creating an inclusive space. Military institutions need to adopt educational measures and inclusive policies, empowering leaders to address gender issues.

By confronting these difficulties, we not only recognize the importance of inclusion, but also strengthen the armed forces as a whole. The question persists: "And who protects the protectors?" The answer lies in transforming structures, deconstructing prejudices, and promoting a culture that celebrates diversity. Only then will travesti service members be able to fully fulfill their role, without fearing for their own protection.
