Entrevista e historia de Sue; mujer trans, actual Directora General de la casa Lancome
Hemos querido respetar los tratamientos en masculino, hasta desentrañar la historia, ya que la propia persona de la que se habla mantiene su cargo y títulos también en masculino, aunque todo el mundo de su entorno la trata en femenino.

Su imagen corresponde a una bella y sofisticada mujer. Su trabajo y su vida son la mejor defensa de su diferencia. (Foto)
