João Décio Ferreira, a doctor, one of the leading specialists in gender change surgeries, was immediately interested in the case of the boy with a girl figure. Patricia was still Nuno, but whoever saw her saw a woman. Blonde, expressive-looking, and a smiling girl, trapped in the wrong body. Only, when she managed to free herself from the body that imprisoned her, the singer went through a long ordeal.
First, as a child, she struggled with identity issues. She played with dolls and that was the nickname she had at school. She cried in the silence of the room.
At one point, increasingly aware that something was going on, Patricia would put together coins that she then exchanged for girly clothes and make-up. It was at the fair, and in the stores of the 300, that she was tied up in women's accessories.
