Transcript:

We begin with the story of Xica Manicongo, regarded as the first Brazilian travesti. Xica, an enslaved person working as a shoemaker, was kidnapped from Congo and brought to Brazil. Due to her feminine expression, she faced charges of sodomy from the colonizers in the sixteenth century. Sadly, that societal pressure led her to adopt clothing designed for men, so she would not be sentenced to public burning.


Xica is an incredibly important figure in our history, and in the words of the beloved Erika Hilton, “She represents the Brazilian travestis’ fight for their right to memory and recognition”


In the next segment, we’ll talk about the history of trans healthcare. See you in a bit!
