Sumario:This article presents part of the results of a case study on the implementation process of the health aspects of the Gender Identity Law (Law No. 26,743) in Santa Fe. It analyzes how medical personnel, when implementing the policy, proposes ways of intervening in the bodies of trans people and those who request the health services included in this law. This analysis allows us to identify two periods (2009-2015 and 2015-2017). During the first, most health professionals omitted the implementation of the policy, and the few who joined this work pathologized them and sought to adapt their bodies to the male/female binomial. The few advances observed during the second period did not mean innovations, they were incremental and involved recycling of already known routines. The hospital did not show a homogeneous position. The policy ended up depending on the will of a group of female doctors, and their reactions to the demands of a group of social workers and the users of the LIG.
