Why I had surgery: A trans activist shares her experience

Keili González is a trans activist from Entre Ríos. A month ago, she underwent breast implant surgery after much thought. In this column, she tells her story and reflects on a process where body and identity merge but also diverge. Do we have to pay for our identity with our bodies? she asks. “I can't summarize all my transvestism in one surgery. But in my life, I've learned to redefine pain and everything I've been through.”
