A powerful narrative on the lives of trans women, by Camila Sosa Villada.

Translator's Note 1 min read

Camila's language is the language of the street — an Argentine Spanish dialect blending slang, rebellion and tenderness. The hardest question while translating was: should I keep "travesti" as is, or find a Turkish equivalent? In the end, I kept it. Because for Camila, travesti is not just an identity — it is resistance, a form of sisterhood. — Banu Karakaş
