ABSTRACT Objective To reveal the comprehension of women and health professionals about the feminine vulnerability belonging to the collective of lesbians, bisexuals, and transsexuals’ women. Method Qualitative research, carried out from October 2018 to March 2019, in a Basic Health Unit located in Marabá - Pará, Brazil, using the hermeneutic-dialectic circle and inductive hermeneutic analysis. Five lesbians, bisexuals, and transsexuals’ women and five health professionals participated, through interviews. Results Health care for women, as described by the participants, promoted social and programmatic vulnerabilities structured by taboos and preconception, which endorsed exclusive professional behaviors in the provision of specific care, which consequently amplified risks and threatened the quality of life of this population. Conclusion The dissemination of this evidence is configured as an indicator to support future decisions regarding priorities, application of resources and professional training in the care of lesbians, bisexuals and transsexuals’ women.
