This article presents the results of a research aimed at understanding the struggles for the defense of the body as a sexual and gender dissident territory, carried out by a teacher in her experience with society and, especially, in the school environment. Body maps were the method used, since they are a tool that facilitates the representation of stories, memories and experiences, from the meanings and embodied discourses that have accompanied the struggles of this teacher in the configuration of her body as a sexual and gender dissident territory in the school. This methodology favored reflexive processes regarding the struggles and resistances of dissident bodies, and the interaction with social parameters and institutions, among which the school stands out. It is concluded that, in spite of the legislative and normative advances in the educational management in Colombia regarding the issue of sexual dissidence, the school continues to be a scenario in which multiple forms of violence are reproduced against the subjects who assume their bodies as territories of sexual and gender dissidence, thus the body-territory becomes an object of dispute of different projects of society.
