This work investigates how gender identity is exercised and how the adjacent sociability relations of a transgender woman adhering to Candomblé and Jurema Sagrada occur, with regard to the sexist division that governs the functioning of tasks and activities within the rituals of these women. religions, as well as design elements of femininities and masculinities, in a terreiro located in the metropolitan region of Natal. We chose to use bibliographic research on the themes of gender and religion as a methodological tool, as well as the ethnographic methodology and the case study, as research strategies. The data were analyzed from previously established aspects, such as the performance of ritualistic tasks in the functions that took place in the terreiro, clothing, religious transit and recognition of the space of the terreiro as a place of reception of non-hegemonics identities. Thus, the participant observation, using the field diary for the continuous recording of the experiences lived and the semi-structured interviews, considering the narrative of the interlocutor's life, was essential for the development of this work. Finally, the research points to an understanding of the limits of transits and negotiations established between the exercise of gender identity and the exercise of faith itself.
