How to conquer sport, the cinema and Netflix

“I am genuine and happy,” says Alexa Pettone. He is 38 years old, she was the first trans woman to be accepted by the Argentine Skating Confederation; It is part of the cast of the series in the mud -Spin Off of El Marginal-, acted in the movie Yo Nena, I princess and inspired the book I am Alexa (Chirimbote). It as she clarified, to say that it is only one would be to lie: “Everyone has different sides that are polishing over the years, with the wind There is alaxa lives in San Pedro, it comes from “a very conventional middle-low-class working family”, she has four brothers and, according to herself, from a very young age she warned what many years later would put in words: gender identity does not begin in adulthood, but in childhood. Binary: in the games, in the customs, in the way of dressing, ”he recalled. One of the anecdotes that lasts in his memory is that of the aprons he used in the kindergarten. At first, in the maternal, they all had a dust of the same color. But when changing institutions the boys had to carry a celestial one and, the girls, a pink. “I asked why I could not have that color, like the girls, and my mother told me not because it was a baby. I made a crying crisis, I didn’t want to go anymore. And I negotiated with her that I was not going to put the pink because my dad was not going to want, but I was going to go with the apron of the previous garden, the blue. ”The attitude of his mother from that moment and forever was the same: love and containment, even without counting in those times the necessary tools and information. “The peculiarity of this case was that my mother had the sensitivity of being able to understand, without knowing or there a trans identity or transference, but I did have that love of mom, that empathy, that wisdom of Mother,” said Pettone.Alexa Pettone: “At 5 years I started expressing a disagreement with that belonging to a binary system.” Photo kindness. The maternal role was key in Alexa’s life: “She could understand, hug and accompany, and this allowed me to be a little longer with the games. Not so dad, but hey, Mom generated these spaces for that to happen. ”Little to reach four decades, the actress and skater understands the difficulties her family faced and emphasizes that she maintains a great link with all of them. “There were no books or stories that have our bodies, about our realities, about other cases. There was no opportunity for the right to the knowledge of a mother or a dad through all that kind of tools. It was impossible, given that denial, that they can have that information. I think it cost him much more for his upbringing, his conservatism, he comes with a different thought. It was hard for him to break all those barriers to give way to that daughter. He discovered and removing the darkness of everything he thought of transvestism, the transsexual or the transgender and saw that he was much simpler than he thought. ”I am Alexa (Chirimbote), the book that tells Pettone’s story. Photo: Chirimbote.The adolescents Integral Sexual Education Law (ESI) No. 26,150 was sanctioned in 2006 and Pettone graduated from high school in 2004. That stage was probably the most difficult, he assumed. “Preteen and adolescence are a little more complicated moments when recognizing your gender identity; Imagine for a teenager in that search, without even integral sex education. I didn’t even talk about that, “he recalled.” I remained in a school that could not read my name, nor my body, nor did my bath allowed, nor have in the record the name that I chose. There was a school that did not know how to read absolutely nothing I was. ”Alexa Pettone during one of the talks that he usually performs in schools. Photo gentleness.Alexa was scored in a technical school to remain in a group of peers with whom the primary school shared: “They were not going to violate me because they already knew me, it was the only possibility of taking care of myself. This also speaks of the realities of childhoods and trans tanks, that we do not allow ourselves to be able to live so freely and healthily, being so small, we always have to be thinking strategies to go unnoticed or suffer less. ” It was then that he made his transition. A year later he returned to his hometown and the family home, thinking: “Well, that’s it. It is this. There is no going back. That whoever is and, who does not interest me, is not interested. ” “Luckily, they didn’t throw me, they hugged me, but I don’t know what I would have been of me at that time, with 18 years … Domestic, to be able to travel the streets, skating, the sport I always did, without being insulted. ”The skating was more than a sport for her: it was her refuge, her therapy and even a way of healing. When they say that healthy sport is true. He saved me, rescued me. “And so he was writing his own story: he competed professionally in the Patín Carrera category; he acted in the movie Yo Nena, I Princess and in the spin-off of El Marginal in Netflix, which was not yet premiered; and her life was taken to the paper in the book I am Alexa (Chirimbote). So much is much present and future for her. We are more difficult to be able to form a family, to have children. Photo: Chirimbote. “Our revenge will be to reach old,” said activist Lohana Berkins. Alexa Pettone already fantasizes to be part of that revenge: “I imagine being a wise old man, in a little house surrounded by plants and that when many say, they live here an old lady who was an actress, who wrote and undressed in the river.”
