“When I grow up I want to be a girl”, she said to her mother, one night, before closing her eyes and surrendering to sleep. In this dreamlike space that was hidden in her pillow, another reality was announced: hers. That was two years ago, when Cora wasn’t Cora yet. A few months later, walking with her mother in the park, the situation became untenable: “No one sees me”, Cora told him.
Today, Cora is a trans girl who dreams of making unicorns. ⠀⠀

Trans childhood reflects the change of a heteronormative system that is slowly beginning to accept diversity. The long-running report aims to accompany Cora through time, and in all her vital universes.
