what to follow

Trujillo I am 54 years old
I am a trans woman and I am a
survivor
since I had to go out and survive
look for the sex work doctor and
to the sous in cabaret for more than 30
years
that’s why I got dressed for rent
save and with much sacrifice can
get my rooftop six years ago
It gave about the possibility of
enter as administrative in the
municipality of santa fe was a contribution
very important non- labor that opened
not only for me but for those who come
back and where I could showed to the
others myself that was so capable so
intelligent so educated that they have located
and as committed to the job as
Anyone

socially a partisan and
exclusively for the trans community
where you are working with
job training grants
study and other activities for the
labor inclusion throughout life
[Music]
both the state and society do not
inclusion
that’s why we are giving hard with the
theme in russia but I can assure you that
it is very difficult there is a lot of resistance and
many damages
but we’re still fighting how
will come from interns link de chiquita or
tiny
maybe many do not understand all
those people that are born with a
hello differentiates our biological sex
they are more trans people is a
denomination that was decided to adopt for
group all those people who
we have that conviction and there for
who do not know about the subject
do not get confused with the labels of
transvestite and transgender transgender and
intersexual and so on
I think when you hear people out there
they imagine that we mark and an area
red already made up and mounted as for
to have sex
I’m sorry to tell you that it’s not like that
less my house
I come from a family where a dad and a
mom but my mom and dad
heterosexuals
I searched with love but since
I have use of reason I felt a baby A
girl after a teenager after a young girl
trans and now a trans adult was not
easy
it was a time where there was no talk of
nothing
imagine telling my parents does
45 years or more that I felt to get wet
called my taxes a vest of
strength but in spite of everything he had a
happy childhood with a lot of love and
containment a call but a girl
happy when you are a child, everything is forgiven
the requirement that the finite her femininity
the attribution to how you were educated
older sisters
but when adolescence happens all
they change to throw nobody forgives you nothing
they start away from the groups that
they start the club
there is no club to the church choir anymore
invitations from classmates and it will start
to feel the illusion and loneliness during
a couple of years ago I just went to
study and re- launch armani home
that was my world only at 15 years
I move in with my neighborhood family and
I know some friends of my sister from a
of my sisters had more betrayed
girl were gay or surprise and joy
because I could finally share all of that
I had before I could not
chat with anyone I still have a
couple of friends from that era
there was also something that differentiates me
of facts
they are happy with the image that
returned them corts or not I was not
Satisfied was not show that was in front
to the mirror for the image that I forget
mirror
That same year I had my first
experience in a police station with 16
years old background check
proper to this time era to dictate a
Once they took a pig and there
I met marcela first I did not know
mind later I realized that it was a
Trans woman and I identified myself
immediately potenza invited me to his
birthday week and I was already
surrounded by women and trans girls and
I felt that I was in my world
the other day I went to the house of one of
they mission the little holes of the ear
with needle and thread
medellin and the eyes I put on a little dress
and I took my first steps for me for my
There are three options when you are born with a
different gender
the Chilean can not be changed if you can
adapt your body
he has written the genre self-perceived
anyone
in which I was born the first option is the
of not finding the way and taking a
tragic decision kózak happened many
times
the second is to keep it a secret and
live a repressed life the life of the
others want and the third in the of the
acceptance is to take the step and be happy is
impossible to count the amount of
anecdotes and painful situations and
difficult that went from waits to guilt
of a fault code created by
people who thought they knew what the
moral and good manners ex and a
systematic plan to clean the
streets of those who did not belong to that
moral and good customs
obviously that we were first in
the list was us women
trans all that psychological damage
psychological and physical violence
forming myself in an armor that is going
protecting from all guilds
happening and taking care of that girl
interior that I still had innocent of
all year round because to be able to continue
ahead
we had to learn to heal ourselves
alone and for each violation of each country to
decade discrimination decade mockery
each return where many judged and
very little accompanied
but of all I learned and it helped me to
Today the place to put any
person who may be spending that
armor is what I’m wearing today to
be in front of you I do not know if they know
our average age is
forty years from organizations
associations part of the state and people
committed is working to
with public health
just to raise the salary
average because we were very poorly served
in hospitals and we were just going back to
dying just a few days ago
we counted who we had overcome
50 years and we do not reach the feet
that’s why we call ourselves
survivors and sometimes when I
soligo ask how you feel good
little tired but tired is 54 years old
you still have a lot of years for
ahead without knowing we have an age
chronological much higher than sample
biological just for all those
situations we went through once
I heard that I had put that I wanted
be
not long ago when I fulfilled the
50m look in the mirror and I thought I had
passed a truck over
I wanted to be boxing because they told me
that it was very complete that the
training was good and I listened to
the locomotive olivera in an interview
and they had asked him why
boxers were retiring young and she
replied that because the blows were
cumulative and at that moment I felt
very identified
I felt that I already had too many hits and
I was no longer just a fight for
to train there are situations that do not
they forget business tickets and nobody gets you
wants to serve for a group and that
do not accelerate giant father or that you
father who closes the doors to you
shout that they push you out
pushing from a balk or kicking a
bowling and the people that were there and what
look just look the other way
to not get into that moment and he
it is very difficult until therapies
natural , money is very expensive
I also went four or five times to
A psychologist
mesiano her but you know what
people think when they look at it and
there I realized that he was right
I could not think I was but that
there was that prejudiced look existed
he also told me that perfection the
little girl who does not look for perfection
so when the time came I looked at the
mirror accept me with my flaws that
accept my virtues that I did not recognize
and I took out a big backpack that they give me
it would not let me move forward once
well one of the many fights this
come and it was gradual and progressive not what
make
It was different from everything there was
happened before
there came a moment that I did not want to go out to
the street was afraid of the look of
people
a friend told me it ‘s a social phobia and
I started thinking and more than people
was the look and admired I was asleep
I got to not leave home to go out very
late at night use me trails
there were two people chatting firm 40
blocks to a warehouse that sold that
sold the 24 hours things to be able
converse with him until one day arrives
when going back to the limit
I had that click and I said enough I can not
continue like this
I have to face this phobia and I went out and left
one day a business perspiring and with my
heart to a thousand and after another day I
sent go and so on until
I went little by little
looking at it with time
one day I was walking through the center and
the same path was walking a
afrodescendant I look at it because the
attractive plus zero prejudices and when
happened next to me has made the head and
there I realized what was happening
the same thing that had happened to me
look had hurt him and I went back home
thinking about how I could help
other people with the look that was what
that I had done well when
he came to those places and I felt safe
and came back and after thinking a lot
I realized that they were much more
easy much simpler than what
I imagined
in those places where I was going I felt
they sure looked at me with a smile
that’s why from that moment the army
all the time especially when I
crossed people will notice the
difference because we are all different
but before you head down
I smile and notice that there is a smile from
another side also a friend once
available so you do not feel uncomfortable
uncomfortable and admire because I had admire
a person because I have the ability
different because it is to have a few kilos of
more because it ‘s another color because I know
of another tender has not been born with
a different genre I do not look at and how are
the looks we have during life
not because 20 years ago I thought when
I saw someone that good gives me life
who had everything go through all the
situations never discriminated him ever
they beat him the volleyball they raped him was
prisoner had the support of his family and without
But today if you ask me what life
I would like to do nothing since the minimum
because of all those situations
-It was learned to help me grow
evolve and be able to help others
that’s why as the phrase says hope
is the last thing that is lost I have the
hope of that side there every time
less prejudiced views
stigmatizing and harmful and that of
we are more than what we walk
looking at us with a smile accepting the
happiness of the other knowing us equal and
different and thinking that life one of
the few things you do not pay is the mine
plus
