Geena Rocero is a Philipine model who is currently living in San Francisco (EE.UU).
She once was a boy when she was little until she realized that she wanted to become a woman and a model. In this video, basically she explains how she came out.
When she was younger, at the age of 15 she assisted to a model catwalk and she saw a man dressed as a woman and she says that she wanted to be like her because she thought that she was the most beautiful women that she has ever seen. In that moment, the model asked Geena why she didn't participate on the catwalk and she said that she would love to but she couldn't. Then that model told Geena not to worry about anything, but she wanted her to model.
Geena won the catwalk and then she realized that she really wanted to become a model.
Geena's mother moved to San Francisco in 2001 and told Geena to move with her but she didn't want to. A few weeks later her mother called her again to ask her one more time to move with her, and she also told Geena that she could change her indentity and her name if she move to San Francisco.
Afterwards, Geena moved to San Francisco, changed her name and came through a plastic surgery to change her genitals. She felt so happy with herself and very lucky.
MY OPINION:
In my opinion, i think that she's very brave to tell this story and i think that she's doing a good job by sharing her story with other people like her, i mean people that want to come out but they don't have the strenght. She is helping to other people to make their mind and to fight for what they really want to become.
Geena has relation with fashion because she's a model and she has the oportunity to share her story and help others.
