Maya Massavera Shows Off Results of Vocal Feminization and Ventilation Surgery: 'My Transition Isn't Easy' | Pop Art

Maya explained that the current vocal result is not final yet. “So my voice is not ready yet. It will only be ready in two and a half months, because it is three months after the surgery, but I came here to show you the progress, because I understand that many of you are curious,” Maya explained.

“But I also need to make it clear, as I say this, that it is my life and I have to go back several times in my time. When I decided to transition, I wanted to go back to my mother’s womb, and I wanted the most peaceful place, away from everything possible.”

“But I came back to reality, to real life before, because a lot of distorted material started coming out of me, so I preferred to slap it in the face and came to tell you the real story,” the broadcaster said.

“And this is the same thing that happens to my voice. Not everyone of course, but there is a huge demand from a lot of people to see if my voice is “feminine” enough, so I decided to come here and give it a try.” “Again, I cover my face, because from now on I can talk to you more about the topics I want to talk about,” Maya said.

I am a trans woman. I am a transvestite woman.

The presenter then decided to explain the difference between a transgender woman and a cisgender woman, after receiving some comments that were supposed to be complimentary, but wrong.

The announcer began by saying, “I am a transgender woman. I am an effeminate woman.”

He asked: Did you know that the word transvestite and trans woman are the same thing? Anyone who is a trans woman is a transvestite and anyone who is transvestite is a trans woman. They marginalized the word transvestite and a lot of people think that it is a derogatory name or that it is someone who has not had any kind of plastic surgery… It has nothing to do with being a trans woman or a transvestite, you don't need surgery, you don't need anything.”

“Sometimes, someone will come up and compliment me and say, ‘Wow, you’re so pretty, you don’t even look like a trans woman. You look like a real woman.’ And I’m like, ‘Hey, stop there.’ So many mistakes. Starting with the mistake that I want to look like a trans woman, because I do. And the second thing is: I’m a real woman.

“I understand that you came to compliment me, but let me clarify. What you mean is: A woman who is born in a body that she believes is female, for example, with a uterus and breasts and everything, is a cis woman,” Maya explains.

“A cisgender woman will never be a transgender woman, and a transgender woman will never be a cisgender woman. But they are both equal women.”

“Let it be clear to everyone. Our struggle as trans women is a daily struggle and an extension of historical struggles,” the presenter continued, hoping that the battles will be different in the future.

“In a few years, God willing, we will look back, just as we look back today on historical conflicts… Will we soon be arguing about providing security in all bathrooms, and not whether I can go to the women’s bathroom, which I clearly can.”

Maya, who revealed that she suffers from gender dysphoria after the transition, said she was “very happy”.

“As I told you, you showed up before the moment I was ready, and I was ready for it, I also have to take things easy, because there are so many feelings inside me, so many things.”

“Because I didn't have a childhood. I had a childhood, I didn't have a youth, I didn't have an adolescence because I was trapped in a body that wasn't mine.”

“Now, I want to experience everything I haven’t experienced in 5 minutes. These hormones together, sometimes they give me… I have to get used to it. That’s why I take my time too,” he said.

She ended the video by thanking all trans women.

“Without you, I wouldn’t be here today. My transition hasn’t been easy, but it’s only possible because of you.”

She also thanked “Ariadna, Leah T and Molher Pepita, three trans women, sisters, my best friends, who help me a lot.”
