1. First, Beta, could you share a little about your trajectory? How was the beginning of your transition process and what motivated you to take this step?

“I transitioned at almost 30 years old. It is an age that in the popular imagination, trans people, they are already trans since small or it has been shown since childhood. I play saying that I was born Roberta, but for a while there for my teens, my 16, 17 years old, I found that I needed to pretend something else to survive, and of course that unconsciously, but I realized that, that, Or I was a very masculine person, a person who was not thrilled, a person who didn’t let anyone get close. “

“I was already a public person at the time and that made me deal with this story in the eyes of everyone. I think it was the pandemic for me, besides the terror that was this moment for everyone and for me was, but At some point the pandemic protected me from me being able to spend a few years discovering who I was without having to go out on the street. ”

2. During his transition, was there moments of doubt or insecurity?

“Anyone who says he has no doubt or insecurity all his life, or at least for much of his life, I think he’s lying, because being trans is much more. At some level, being trans is you have an awareness of That you go against the world, that you will often give up a lot in your life, a lot of dream, a lot of access, a lot of respect to be able to be. that most kills trans people, transvestites in the world, has no. “

“That there is no fashion of you to take over when the world gets increasingly hostile to trans people. Because that’s it, the transaction is the doubt, it is the doubt that I will be what they expect from me or what I would like to be? All the time. Life is built from doubt, so I think the insecurity of doubt is part of human existence. “

3. Do you feel that today validation comes more from within itself?

“I think no one lives alone. We live in society. Validation always has an inner part and an external part. It’s no use approving 100% or if everyone disrespects you doesn’t call us the way we would like to be called. We go in place and feel that our humanity is diminished. So, I feel that it is not just a process of self -esteem, it is a process of self -acceptance, it is a process of self -love.

“But first of all, it is a process of humanity, it is a process that we can know that we will be able to live, that we will be able to go from 30 years old, that we will be able to be old, that we It will be able to relate, that we will really have, not be afraid to live as we are. ”

4. Finally, what do you want for the future, both personal and the struggle for visibility and rights of the trans community?

“I feel that what I dream the most right now is that we don’t go back, that we don’t go back to a place where you have to be afraid of being who it is. Dream that trans people have a normal life. What we want most is to be like anyone else. What we want most is to be able to work, to be able to live, to love, to be loved. Having a life where the simple is the key, waking up to make our breakfast, lunch, to be able to live the life we ​​love. “

“I want to have trans people living a romance in the movies without ending to be murdered, without being worried if so -and -so loves me enough or not any other woman. The fight no longer has to exist the day that we can be just who we are and be accepted like anyone else in society. ”
