The Transfest



My best reporting story was in my first year of university, in the year 2015. We had to do a chronicle for a subject, and I didn´t have a topic. I search in internet, and I found an event in Facebook: the Transfest.

The Transfest is a festival dedicated to transgender persons. That year was the first celebration of the Transfest. I saw women talking with the voice of a man and men with the voice of a woman, in that moment, that was strange for me. 

Fort he chronicle, I had to interview someone of the Transfest. When I was thinking to who do my interview, I saw a woman on the festival’s stage; it was Claudia Rodriguez, a transgender poet that was reading her work. 

Her poetry interested me so much. When she get down of the stage, I walk beside her. I say hi, and we started a conversation. That day I take awareness of the reality of transgender persons, their diary problems and the constant problems that they have with the society. That conversation it was really good for me.
