Jeferson, age 7
Novo Hamburgo, Brazil (1991)
This is me and my sister, and one of my "My Little Pony" dolls, which I collected for 4 years.
As a kid, I felt torn between playing games and toys meant for girls, or those meant for boys.
In my confusion, I didn't know
if I wanted to be He-Man, or be
She-Ra. Hahaha!
I always had more female friends as a kid, and was the target of bullying for it.
I was extremely shy, and I spent my entire adolescence without feeling accepted or understood. I was very inexperienced, and felt I could not approach the girls. But when I was 25, I had my first kiss with a woman.
It was only after entering the theater that I decided to accept myself as gay,
and try being with guys. Once I did, I knew being with men was my true nature.
I eventually told my godfather (who is also gay) and who was a childhood friend of my father. Today, my whole family accepts me and supports me.
