Abstract

This article discusses the relationship between transvestites and clothing in 19th century Bahia. The author examines police persecution of transvestites (in their majority men). The argument is that the carreer of transvestites in 19th Brazil depended on the interrelation between the creation of difference through the use of a specifing dressing style and normative sexual roles.
