Gabriella Irente, 23, is a singer and was born in Suzano. Her family is of Italian and Spanish descendants. Her transition started after she finished her studies because, according to her, it would be more difficult to start while she was studying because of the problems she would face at school. “It was a phase of self-knowledge and acceptance. In the beginning, it was very complicated by the lack of knowledge and not knowing what was happening to me”, says the singer. But something helped her a lot: the appearance of drag [performers] and trans [people] in the media. “It became much easier to understand myself,” she says.
For Suzanense, the issue of work is very complicated: “When companies discover that you are trans, the vacancy magically disappears or they say that they don't need you anymore” she says. She says that the biggest difficulty is acceptance with other employees and the board. “The vast majority of companies still have a very conservative body of directors” comments the singer.
Regarding prejudice, she told of one experience: “Three years ago when I started the process of transition I was prevented from using a women's dressing room in a store in the city because, at the time, I didn't have a very “feminine” appearance. Security pulled me out of the dressing room and publicly humiliated me in front of a store full of people. I don't buy anything at that store anymore”
The singer is emphatic in saying what needs to be improved for trans and the entire LGBTQI+ community: “The acceptance and understanding of people about us. We are human beings like everyone else. In addition, we also need more visibility on a daily basis” said Gabriella.
