Marcia Medeiros, a sex worker, porn star, hairdresser and beauty icon of the 2000s died this weekend. Marcia was 36 years old and, according to her family and friends, she was found dead after committing suicide in São Paulo. The information was given by her younger brother, Kelvin, and confirmed by close friends, who lamented the sad loss in social networks.
Marcia was one of the symbols of trans beauty, especially in the 2000s. A native of Paraná, she was considered one of the most beautiful in São Paulo, where she lived since she was three years old. In addition films of adult content, she was featured on television in auditorium programs and enchanted with her beauty
She appeared in programs by Sérgio Malandro, in TV Gazeta, in which she praised for the beauty that some regarded as a trick. After some participation, she refused to participate in such cadres because she considered them too prejudiced.
She also appeared in the film "In the Plaza Roosevelt", of Rodolfo Garcia Vásquez and Carlos Ebert, where she talked about her love life, and in the documentary TransAfrica, by Claudia Guimarães, styling by Dudu Bertholini and video by Dácio Pinheiro.
In recent years Márcia was far from the spotlight and made no point in appearing in the media or giving new interviews. She once granted this author an interview, but said she was not in a good mood to appear again.
Friends report that she faced serious problems and was in a very troubled phase involving drugs. But this year she managed to recover and apparently resume life. With a new look, Marcia had just graduated as a hairdresser, started working in the salon and seemed to be happier. The beauty that made her famous seemed invigorated.
Márcia's trajectory is similar to that of many transvestites and transsexual women. She stated in an interview with Paulinho Cazé and Maite Schneider from Casa da Maite in 2004 that she had loved playing with dolls and being among her friends. On the other hand, she faced jokes, curses, and passes from the boys' hands.
There was nothing for her to pretend. She always felt like a girl. But it all got clearer when she saw Roberta Close on television. There was a name for what it was. And she decided to say that she is a "transsexual woman" at age 17, on September 6, 1999. That is, "one day before the independence of Brazil I declared mine." To her surprise, the family welcomed her and even her mother, who was quite religious, said that love would be above all else. She was thrilled when she talked about their relationship with them.
The first sexual intercourse was also at 17, soon a program with a client. According to Márcia, it was horrible because the client ignored that it was the first time and was not very affectionate. Marcia says that she entered escorting because she had no other opportunity in the job market to give continue her dreams.
It did not take her long to realize that many men she would date were hypocritical. "They are able to say that they love us and I ask: what love is the one that you are ashamed to assume? From what I have learned, whether we are female or not, we will always be reasons for shame. For me, shame is being a coward. As long as this hypocrisy does not end, prejudice will remain alive and false, " she said.
And when she spoke about prejudice and LGBT rights, she proved to be much more than a pretty little face: she argued that the profession of sex should be regularized, that LGB couples should have the right to adopt and criticized a transphobic episode that she had suffered. Márcia had been barred from entering a hotel when presenting her documents.
"They said that the hotel was no longer allowed to admit travestis, since one had tried to enter the hotel armed so all were barred. I argued that I paid and acted without any fault. Then the question came to me: would it be that if a cisgender escort were to fire a shot they would also prohibit the entry of the others? " She thought of litigation, but she feared institutionalized transphobia would speak louder.
With her friend Danyella di Biaggio, who also participated in pictures on TV, In the 2000s, she was invited to participate in television programs. But if on one hand she was valued as a beautiful transsexual woman, on the other her beauty made her be regarded as a "fraud." It was not by chance that Sergio Malandro presented Marcia on the TV in with jokes she considered transphobic.
After some participation, Marcia declined to participate in the program. And over the years, although she has starred in adult photoshoots and videos, she preferred to avoid exposure. And she went through a complicated period in her life, although she was able to recover.
In the interview in 2004, she defined herself as true, good-hearted, sincere and extremely friendly. And she says her dreams revolved around undergoing sex reassignment (genital) surgery, marrying, attending college, and having children - desires she could not gain in such a hypocritical society. For her, what pleased her most was to live her intensely, without fear, shame, and prejudice. And what discouraged her most was that people did not live like that.
The sudden death shocked friends, family and admirers. According to her brother, she was buried in the Municipal Cemetery of Suzano, São Paulo.
Goodbye, Marcia, you were a gift!
