Thursday, March 6, 2025 - A mother and daughter from Brazil have undergone gender transition to become father and son.
Raphael, 38, and Gustavo Batista, 10, from Sao Paolo, Brazil,
were born with female biological characteristics but now both identify as
male.
Raphael, 38, stopped identifying as female last year and asked to be
referred to as male. In September 2024, Raphael posted a clip on Instagram in
which he discussed gender identity.
The clip was captioned, translated from Portuguese: "If I have
dysphoria in my body? And the answer is yes."
Asked if his child Gustavo influenced him, Raphael told G1: "It
didn't have any influence, but he [Gustavo] gave me strength and courage to
face [the transition]."
The parent and child shared their inspiring story with their nearly
25,000 Instagram followers and many are supporting them in their
journey.
