Silvia Sicore - Mi mejor versión... es femenina

2024, Silvia Sicore, Spanish,

Original title: "Mi mejor versión... es femenina: autobiografía de mi transición" (My best version... is feminine: autobiography of my transition) by Silvia Sicore.

The author, a specialist in audiovisual communication, has been writing and creating content for digital and analog media since she was young. In this autobiography of her transition years, she takes the opportunity, while she tells us the events of that part of her life, to reflect on what it means for her to be "trans" in current times and on how this gender transition has influenced her closest surroundings of Lleida and Barcelona.

 

With the pedagogical objective of making the collective positively visible, Silvia reveals herself to those who read her story, to show herself as she is. Demonstrating that, among all the possibilities of being that one has, searching for the best version is always positive, whether or not that search leads you to discover that this evolution requires a gender transition. It is therefore an atypical story, in which the author discovers very late, as an adult and after an entire life lived as a heterosexual man, that in the crossword puzzle of her identity there is the word gender... and that its best version, is feminine.

 

Already as a young woman, long before her gender transition, Silvia used writing as a means of expression, with which she not only found a work tool, but also won some awards for her poems and short stories. Although her multifaceted character led her to try painting, drawing, or music, it is in written expression that she finds the best formula to communicate what she has inside, exploring different styles and genres, from poetry to the novel, the short story and lately, also autobiography, all with the clear intention of better understanding the world around her and understanding herself better.
