The influencer Maya Massafera, 43 made an outburst on his social networks this Wednesday (22) and reported suffering from episodes of dysphoria since it began its process of gender transition . Despite this, she stated that “I've never been so happy in all my life”.
“I'll talk to you about everything. But today I want to talk about my dysphoria. Everyone has good and bad things, I have a bad side of having 'wasted' 40 years in a body that didn't belong to me. And I have the good side of having made my transition away from everything and everyone. I was able to give myself this 'luxury'”, she began.
“I need to explain my state of mind. I have never been so happy in my entire life! I wake up happy, I am a person in a happy state. After the transition, I love myself! I will probably get used to my gender and this happiness will become normal, as it is for you. But sometimes, out of nowhere, I get really bad dysphoria.”
Dysphoria is a condition that involves an intense and persistent feeling of nonconformity with the sexual characteristics of the gender at birth, whether voice, body or people's judgment. Distress typically appears as a combination of anxiety, depression and irritability.
Maya states that at times the dysphoria is so great that prefer to be alone . Including in Cannes, she revealed that she had days when she didn't even leave her room because of these episodes. “There was a day when I did makeup, took photos and just didn’t go to the Red carpet because I was afraid of the judgement”, he said.
“At least for today, I’m great, happy as hell! But I have my overwhelming moments,” said the influencer, who revealed her desire to be a “real person” and influence her followers in a positive way. “I don’t want to focus on just clothes and jewelry,” she said. “Maya will be a positive influence .”
Gender transition
Maya returned to social media earlier this month, sharing her first photo since undergoing a gender change . “Pleasure, Maya”, she said in the caption, receiving a flood of praise, including from celebrities. The influencer had already revealed the name change last month.
Before, she had made an outburst, amid rumors that she had gone through a sexual reassignment . “I was surviving and not living. I had to take a break from everything to find myself. It was either that or go away to another plane. I needed to stay away from the internet and treat myself,” she wrote.
