This essay aims to reveal the resonances of Paulo Freire’s thought and the black feminist bell hooks for the proposition of a transgressive sexual education that promotes critical insertion in reality, questioning heteronormativity, appropriation of a language of resistance, to favor the construction of autonomy and the emancipation of dissident sexual subjects. Here, the relevance of the Freirean legacy is reaffirmed for the consolidation of an education as a practice of freedom. The emancipatory character of the Freirean educational project catalyzes the confrontation of reactionary strategies hidden in the bills proposed by the Escola Sem Partido program, which aim to undermine democracy, establish a gag school and criminalize educators who work in the perspective of social transformation.
Keywords: Paulo Freire. Transgressive sexual education. Dissident sexualities.
