This research article presents some reflections that emerge from the analysis of different statements uttered in the discourse of LGBTI people during the research project: "Imprisoned subjectivities: Gay and trans identities in a prison background." The findings indicate that violence builds around a series of forces that promote and reinforce strategies of exclusion, denial and blockage; it operates by excess of similarity and difference; it reproduces the fear of interaction, contact and contagion, and it stigmatizes by synecdoche or metonymy. In terms of resistances, the study shows that the participants deploy their forces to win allies in the friend-enemy logic, they rely on the legal frameworks, they turn to physical force to defend themselves, avoid conflict situations, and fight against a mandatory masculinity by performing their gender from the margins of these discourses. Their transgressions contribute to create ruptures in the power relations between people deprived of liberty.

Palabras clave : power; violence; transgression; LGBTI community; mandatory masculinity.
