Case presentation: This is a person of male sex and female gender identity or male-to-female transgender, 29 years of age. With identifying name of B.G.S. Diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia since he was 13 years old. The NANDA© taxonomy was used to formulate nursing diagnoses, establishing, in turn, a classification of NOC objectives or results, along with NIC nursing interventions. Conclusion: With these interventions, we contributed, to a large extent, to improving the state of well-being and empowerment in the management of demands for the patient's sexual health rights. This case report contributes to the scientific literature a better understanding of specific care needs: Transgender people already face mental health challenges due to discrimination, stigmatization and lack of adequate access to health services. If a diagnosis of schizophrenia is added to this, the care needs multiply. It is crucial that nursing professionals know how to address both aspects effectively and without prejudice.
