(2019-2020) Llinas, Virginia Soledad Figueroa, María Luz Comunidad Trans Salud Mental Pandemia COVID-19 Trans community , Mental health COVID-19 pandemic The conception of Mental Health existing in a society at a given moment also responds to the idea of person or subject that predominates in that context. This is also linked to a question of power and it is important to mention that the diversity of explanatory models and the persistence of different social representations of mental illness make an integrative model or a single definition criterion of mental health or illness unfeasible. The methodology adopted for this paper was qualitative, through the collection and analysis of documents, since these tools had the necessary characteristics to approach the proposed objectives: to account for the situation of the transgender population in relation to mental health and the COVID 19 pandemic. The identities of transgender people have been stigmatized and associated with crime, sex work, problematic substance use and mental disorders. This paper seeks to make visible how this population has been affected in relation to the issue of mental health, since it has become visible that certain health care has been reduced in order to privilege or prioritize the care that was most urgently required; the care linked to COVID-19. Comenzaremos esta nota sosteniendo que la concepción de salud mental existente en una sociedad en un momento determinado responde también a la idea de persona o sujeto que predomina en ese contexto. Esto, está ligado a una cuestión de poder y es importante mencionar que la diversidad de modelos explicativos y la persistencia de diferentes representaciones sociales de la enfermedad mental hacen inviable un modelo integrativo o un criterio de definición único de salud o enfermedad mental. Por su parte, la metodología adoptada para la realización de este escrito fue de tipo cualitativo, a través de la recopilación y el análisis documental. Dichas herramientas reunían las características necesarias para aproximarnos a los objetivos propuestos: poder dar cuenta de la situación de la población trans en relación a la salud mental y la pandemia COVID 19. En este sentido, sostenemos que las identidades de las personas trans han sido estigmatizadas siendo asociadas a la delincuencia, el ejercicio del trabajo sexual, al consumo problemático de sustancias y los trastornos mentales. Es por ello que, en el presente trabajo se busca visibilizar cómo esta población se ha visto afectada en relación al tema de la salud mental, ya que, se ha hecho visible que ciertas atenciones en salud se vieron disminuidas en pos de privilegiar o priorizar la atención que era requerida de forma más urgente: la atención ligada a COVID-19.
