Transfobia à Portuguesa
Em resumo do ano de 2015, muito se tem escrito sobre a visibilidade das pessoas trans (principalmente mulheres) que foi muita. Principalmente nos EUA, onde surgiu Caitlyn Jenner, entre a visibilidade que já tinham Laverne Cox, Janet Mock e Carmen Carrera, por exemplo. Mas toda esta mediatização trouxe ao de cima também o pior: a alta taxa de homicídios sobre pessoas trans, a alta taxa de suicídio das mesmas, e todo o tipo de discriminações de que esta população é alvo. E em Portugal, como é? Pois é, neste "jardim à beira-mar plantado" as coisas são bem mais negras do que parecem. E as pessoas trans vivem uma transfobia diária, que as desgasta e destrói.

She has come out without knowing any other transgender people, and without having any point of reference for what it means to be publicly trans in the time of the transgender tipping point: using precise language, or towing a line regarding LGBT politics.
