ChicXs who have a job, a family, a life as "normal" as any other inhabitant of Argentina. Maiamar and Carla, one an actress and teacher and the other a hairdresser, tell about their daily lives, their own prejudices and those of others about being trans and how the Gender Identity Law included them in society.
