Lívia, now a mentor to a new generation, often reminded the group: “Nossa luta nunca é só contra o mundo—ela é contra a escuridão que nos quer apagar. Mas juntas, temos uma luz que ninguém apaga.” (Our fight is never just against the world—it's against the darkness that wants to erase us. But together, we have a light no one can extinguish.) Note: The story respects the term travesti as used in certain Latin American contexts, where it refers to trans women who may access hormones but not necessarily surgeries. Always consider regional nuances when using terminology.
