The theme will be addressed in the soap opera in honor of the character Buba since the first version, in 1993.
The birth of Teca’s baby (Lívia Silva) in Reborn will bring to light an important question: the intersexuality. In the plot, the baby, named Cacau, will be born with this condition and will be rushed to a specialist.
Zé Augusto (Renan Monteiro), who is a doctor, will recognize the child as intersex and will soon notify Teca and Buba (Gabriela Medeiros). He then advises the two to take the child to another professional, who will recommend sex reassignment surgery. The recommendation will scare his mother, Teca, and anger Buba, who is a transgender woman.
8 crucial points about intersex children
“Here we are not looking for the simplest solution, we are looking for the best for this child. And the best thing is to preserve her right to exercise her gender in a natural way and, if an intervention proves necessary and when it proves necessary, we will think about the matter . Until then, we will do everything in time,” said Buba, chosen to be the child’s godmother together with Zé Augusto.
But after all, what is an intersex child?
The term intersex refers to people who are born with characteristics, including genitalia and chromosomal characteristics, that cannot be identified as just male or just female.
Intersex conditions can be discovered at birth, but may also only be revealed during puberty. In the plot, Cacau will be diagnosed shortly after giving birth.
The story is new for the remake and will be a tribute to Buba from the first version of the telenovela, broadcast in 1993. In the original story, written by Benedito Ruy Barbosa, the character was an intersexual person, called at the time with the pejorative term hermaphrodite. In the remake, Bruno Luperi chose to write Buba as a transgender woman.
