Resumen
This article aims to analyze the symbolic violence lived by the transgender women from Bogotá and Medellín in recent times. In this sense, the main purpose is to explain how certain discourse systems marginalize transgender women in the social order. That is why the thesis of this article is that the symbolic violence has been a key element for the body and subject configuration of the transgender women in a position of abjection. Therefore, the sources for this investigation were, on one hand, theoretical, specifically of a feminist kind; and, on the other, practical, through the development of in-depth interviews in order to get to a better understanding of the circumstances surrounding the transgender women.
