“Silvetty’s Program”: Transvestites get old?, asks Silvetty to Pedro Sammarco

In today's program, Silvetty Montilla talks to Pedro Paulo Sammarco, author of the master's thesis "Travestis Envelhecem?", who investigated precisely this issue of transvestites after entering old age – when they manage to get there.

Silvetty and Pedro discuss the difficulties that transvestites face in surviving, finding work, and being accepted professionally and in society.

Pedro's thesis is available online at: http://www.sapientia.pucsp.br/tde_busca/arquivo.php?codArquivo=11719
