Maya Massafera reflects on transition: ‘It’s okay for me to look trans. This doesn’t make me any less of a woman”

The influencer Maya Massafera took to social media this Thursday, the 20th, to reflect on her gender change process. Maya, who is still in transition, wrote about the different sensations she experienced during treatment, especially related to hormones, administered via pills and injections.

“Throughout my transition, I never imagined that the hardest thing would be the hormones. One doctor explained to me that it’s the feeling of a pregnant woman + PMS + menopause. All mixed X 1,000?, she mused.

Maya also spoke about the difficulties she faced in searching for doctors who could help her with her process. “There is a lot of talk and studies on many things in medicine, but regarding the transition it is not so simple. I went to doctors, considered ‘the best’, who had no knowledge. They often made absurd and transphobic speeches and I, with a lot of patience, he still taught the person,” he wrote.

According to the influencer, many doctors recommended a certain procedure or treatment to her, otherwise, in their opinion, “she would look like a transvestite.”

“I’m trans. It’s okay that I look trans. That doesn’t make me any less or more of a woman. ‘You don’t have a uterus’. Hey, how many women are born without a uterus?! No all women have 10 toes. Not all women have toes hands. No woman is the same as the others!!!

Maya recently admitted that the surgery on her voice didn’t work and that’s why she doesn’t speak in public. A new voice change procedure will be carried out in Sao Paulo. Maya had to wait a period of three months for the procedure to be performed safely. “Voice-wise, it didn’t really work, but thank God, except that this surgery, of all the ones I’ve had, went wrong,” she wrote recently.

Despite the difficulties and challenges, Maya says she feels satisfied with the decision she made. “Being a woman is not easy, being a trans woman is even more difficult. But how pleasant it is…”, she concluded.
