Abstract

This article explores the experience of a mother accompanying her trans daughter, offering a critical perspective on patriarchal and binary gender norms. Through a journey of continuous learning and personal deconstruction, the author draws inspiration from theories such as Preciado’s Countersexual Manifesto (2002) and Butler’s concept of gender performativity. The text reflects on the challenges faced by families in rural and conservative contexts, addressing the systemic barriers within education and healthcare that reinforce exclusionary structures. Advocating for inclusive policies and community awareness, this testimony serves as a call to action for building a more equitable and inclusive world where everyone can live and love freely, without fear of judgment based on their gender identity.

Keywords:

Diversidad de género, Inclusión social, Identidad trans, Patriarcado, crianza.
