In the video, Renata says that, after several situations of prejudice that she let go, she decided not to remain silent. And she asked: "What's the disgrace?"
"We've had enough of all the times that people humiliate us, that they insult us, and we walk right by and don't say anything. I said a few good things to him and he wanted to physically attack me. A group of people got in front and told me to follow," he says.
The artist states that attacks and humiliations against the population of transvestites and transgender women continue in 2015. "The guy is desperate, angry, simply because he saw me passing by on the street. What a point a society can reach that cannot tolerate difference. It was me calling it a disgrace. Do you know what a disgrace is?
In the end, she says she will not remain silent. "Whenever I encounter (a situation of prejudice) I will say yes. A lot."
