A peleja pelo processo não é tão simples e algumas, ao alcançarem a chamada “passabilidade” – quando deixam de ser apontadas como trans e passam a ser vistas como mais uma mulher – rejeitam absolutamente o passado, o grupo, ter trans adicionadas no Facebook e os direitos trans. Qualquer semelhança com exemplos de sucesso não é mera coincidência.
