The recent post by Suellen Carey, a 35-year-old Brazilian influencer currently living in London, excited her followers by sharing daring photos wearing Manchester United’s iconic shirt. This attitude, however, represented much more than a marketing strategy; she symbolized a genuine dream that Suellen is willing to pursue.
In one of her most recent posts, while proudly wearing the “Red Devils” shirt, Suellen revealed not only her fervent support for the English team, but also her unshakable desire to be recognized as their muse.. “I’ve carried that dream with me ever since I arrived in England, developed a love for the team and now I want to become their muse.”shared Suellen, launching the hashtag #SuellenForMUFCMuse.
However, the path towards this aspiration did not unfold without facing a cruel reality: transphobia. Shortly after the disclosure of this inspiring dream, Suellen was the target of hateful messages on her social networks. “Fans” of the club did not spare offensive words, openly expressing their rejection of a trans woman taking on the role of Manchester United’s muse. Hate-laden comments like “you’ll never be our muse” and “you’re a freak” were sent directly to her, exposing the darkest face of bigotry.
Amid this wave of transphobia, Suellen chose not to give in to discouragement. With unwavering courage, she stood firm in her desire and commitment. “I understand the challenges I face, especially as a trans woman and football is a terrain unfortunately marked by prejudice. But I refuse to allow prejudice to dictate the fate of my dreams”, he said, reiterating his determination not to surrender to adversity. In addition to being a sports enthusiast, Suellen is also known for using her platform to give the trans community a voice by promoting awareness and education on important issues.
Her battle to become Manchester United’s muse is reverberating with growing support from her football fans and followers. She is challenging established norms, not just as an aspiring muse, but as an advocate for equality and inclusion in an environment often steeped in stereotypes and discrimination.
While episodes of transphobia have cast shadows in her path, the community’s backlash in support of Suellen is a powerful reminder of the ability to overcome hatred with solidarity. Her journey towards realizing her dream may be marked by obstacles, but she has already risen, challenging boundaries and blazing a path to a more inclusive future.
