People who have transited to femininities are located culturally, politically, economically and socially in a lower category than women and homosexuals, so they are victims of all kinds of hate crimes perpetrated by everybody, even by people who transited to masculinity; their experience is the queerest of all because they have transgressed the «should be» models of sex, body, gender, sexual orientation and sexual behavioral expressions and have done to a sex and a genre marked by otherness and the binary understanding of the social hierarchy, a situation even worse for «immigrants». The study of how they construct their transited identities contributes to the development of the sexual politics of all minorities, but that study should be done from other epistemologies and ontologies, here is approached from systems theory and the constitutive ontology of the observer.
