The biased comments against Valentina's selection have truly validated what she expressed on one of her Instagram posts. She explained that the trans community was facing " insults, fearful reactions, and physical violations just for existing" and blamed lack of adequate opportunities and support for pulling the community back.
Being trans usually means facing closed doors to peoples’ hearts and minds. We face snickers, insults, fearful reactions, and physical violations just for existing. Our options for growing up in a loving and accepting family, having a fruitful experience at school, or finding dignified work are unimaginably limited and challenging.
