If it is complicated to adapt to society with our cultural identity, what will a person who will perceive himself outside of his gender and sex say. Transsexuality is a reality and deserves full attention and respect, which is not always the case in Brazil, whether due to the absence of laws or state policies that guarantee rights. Therefore, we are going to discuss what standards are present today to guarantee a minimum of dignity, respect and honor to trans people.

Currently, the political organization of human communities is carried out mostly (if not exclusively) by States. Therefore, it is difficult for us to understand other forms of political organization. However, the State is a creation of modernity, not existing in medieval feudal societies or in ancient empires. One way to understand the difference between States and other forms of political organization is to understand what makes a State, its essential elements. In this cast we will see the characteristics of the human element of the modern State, the people.

Not everything the eyes see the heart feels. As astronomy advances in the understanding of the Universe, each day we use less of our five senses to study the stars. Not all signals coming from space are light as we understand them. Other more exotic electromagnetic radiations pass through our atmosphere and reach the Earth's surface. Radio waves are produced by so many natural sources. If we could "hear" them, outer space would seem like a cacophony of ups and downs as we point our "ear radios" in different directions of the cosmos.
