Kayla pulou da janela do seu AP, mas não se matou
Kayla Lucas França, transexual não-binária, não se reconhecia como homem nem como mulher, “não cabia nessas caixinhas pequenas”. E pulou da janela de seu apartamento, em São Paulo, na última quarta-feira, por volta das duas da madrugada. Mas às 1h53 ainda estava acordada. Ouvindo John Frusciante e aquele mantra doído dizendo “o que eu realmente preciso é o paraíso / um lugar para onde eu possa realmente existir”. Postou no Facebook. E pulou. Caiu só de corpo. A alma fugiu. Kayla não se matou, que fique claro. Ela foi morta por gente como a gente, talvez você até conheça.
A transfobia mata, a gente enterra
