Larissa Rosso presents the story of Helena Soares Meireles, who was born Heleno. "It took Helena Soares Meireles months to encourage herself to be reunited with her father after the operation that changed her body forever. At the age of 36, the transsexual had undergone a sex affirmation surgery, indicated for cases of dysphoria or gender incongruence, adapting her genitalia to the gender with which she actually identified – from a young age, Heleno, her baptismal name, felt like a woman."
"The procedure conducted at the Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre (HCPA) transformed, after more than two years of psychological preparation and monitoring by a multidisciplinary team, the penis and scrotum into a vagina.
