We can say that this study is a personal project with a collective purpose, which was born from an intimate concern about the perception of the absence of trans people in the most diverse social spaces, which concern multicultural societies. Thus, since, for the recognition of the plurality of these social bodies, it is not enough to say ideologically that we are all equal, much less is it permissible to silence these identities, since erasure is also a form of discrimination, strategies and policies are essential aimed at fully guaranteeing fundamental freedoms and rights.

The results obtained through the 25 in-depth interviews carried out in 17 European countries, show how necessary and urgent it is to actively listen to the life experiences of transgender people, with a view to approaching the action of the State and its educational policies, in the training of its educational agents and restructuring of its higher education institutions, in the sense of achieving material equality among all people, respecting plurality and promoting inclusion, through an accessible, permanent and democratic education, to contribute effectively for the generation of an inclusive citizenship.

"The change needed is so profound that it is often said that it is impossible. So profound that it is often said that it is unimaginable. But the impossible is yet to come. And the unimaginable is owed to us."
