Language is in constant evolution and, depending on the communicative context in which it is inserted, it can present different forms of use. Based on this proposition, we seek, in this study, to reflect on the use of language, as an object, which is subject to modifications to meet the new communication and referencing needs of its subjects. As for the discursive genres and texts through which these subjects interact, we elected the strips of a transgender character as the corpus for our study. Thus, as a general objective, we analyze the de deixis of person and social as a linguistic-representational factor in Laerte's comic strips Muriel. To perform this analysis, we draw on authors who study the phenomena of de deixis, referencing, and gender issues, such as Leal (2013), Cavalcante (2011), and Butler (2003), respectively, among others. As for the methodology, we adopted a qualitative approach, whose aspects focused on a descriptive research. For our corpus, we selected five comic strips that presented characteristics of discursive relevance to the theme of transsexuality. As a result, in general, we identified that the linguistic behavior present in comic strips Muriel presents difficulties in the treatment directed to transgender people, through the use of a language that does not fit the way in which these subjects should be socially treated.
