This thesis addresses the care of gender-diverse children, questioning assessment practices that reinforce linear trajectories and a binary sexual understanding. The research incorporates games and science fiction, aiming to stretch the logic of childhood and mobilize creative lines of care, guided by trans social movements and Human Rights.
