"I understood everything during an afternoon at the end of August of that same year. I was lying on the bed staring at the ceiling when something in my brain clicked as if someone had pressed a button that made a light bulb go on. Cassandra doesn't know it, but I will always be grateful to her for opening my eyes, as she indirectly made me understand that, if I liked trans women so much, it was because deep down I dreamed of being like them.
I noticed that during our meeting I came to feel some jealousy for her while admiring her naked body, and I thought it would have been wonderful if our roles had been reversed. "Eureka!" I exclaimed as Archimedes did when he discovered that the volume of water rising is equal to the volume of the submerged body. At that exact moment, I understood that I was born to be a trans woman. I had an authentic revelation that made me suddenly rise as if Our Lady had appeared before my eyes. "I'm a woman! I uttered a liberating scream that lacerated the silence of the room. I am a woman! –Repeated–. I'm Roberta, I'm a woman!"
