Flor de la V spoke about her experience as a trans mother

Florencia de la V recounted her experience as a trans mother and said that “the feeling of not fitting in at all” is still present in her life. Through her Instagram account, the host of Intruders published a fragment of the column she writes in the newspaper Página 12, where she wrote: “Last week I had the first meeting of parents of the school and something happened to me that I would like to share with you. My children go to the same school from a room of three. I don’t know what changed in me in these years, but for the first time I started looking around and experienced the same thing as in my childhood: I felt alone, again the different one.” “Clearly a trans mom is something that is not yet part of the ‘normal’ in this society if we now understand by normal what the statistics indicate,” she said. “Like any difference, it stands out more when there are few cases,” Florencia said. 
In this sense, the actress asked: “Am I the only trans mom because there are indeed few of us who experience the need to recognize ourselves and be recognized since we were girls? Are we still few because in this model in which we still live the repression is so great that not all of us manage to break with the norm? Would we be more if society stopped being so aware of binarism?” The driver stressed that, unlike the 80s, “in this school many moms included me without making me feel bad, I made friends and met very warm and open people who did not care about my identity when it came to relating to me, so I can not say that nothing changed.” “However, this concrete fact, of still living with that feeling of not fitting in at all, is still in my present,” he said. To conclude, Florencia reflected: “I am sure that many others also in that meeting will have felt alienated for other reasons, that there are many differences that are not as judged as that of sexual identity. Some will prefer to keep quiet or hide their own. Others will have the courage to express them, but I am sure that they do not live as a threat the expression of their divergences.” “Maybe it’s time to start considering that it is normal for there to be differences!” the actress concluded.
