At the age of two, Manuel, one of Gabriela Mansilla’s twin sons, was unable to sleep, hurting himself, and suffering for seemingly no reason. Then he began to take an interest in girl’s clothes. His pediatrician and teachers insisted on implementing corrective methods to prevent him from doing “girly things.” But one day Gabriela understood everything after Manuel said to her, “I girl, I princess.” From that moment on, she would stop at nothing to ensure her daughter, Luana, is officially accepted as a girl in society.

Manuel, uno de los hijos de Gabriela Mansilla, a los 2 años no dormía, se agredía y sufría sin que nadie pudiese encontrar la razón. Él comenzó a sentir interés por la ropa de nena. Tanto el pediatra como sus maestros sostenían que se debía aplicar el método correctivo para que dejara de hacer cosas de nena. Gabriela entendió todo cuando Manuel le dijo: Yo Nena, Yo Princesa. Desde ese momento Gabriela no pararía hasta que su hija fuese aceptada como niña en la sociedad y obtuviese su DNI como Luana.
