Overview
- In a Saturday interview on La Noche de Mirtha, Florencia de la V described 1980s street raids against trans people and confirmed she was once detained on Avenida Santa Fe while heading to the Búnker nightclub.
- She said she still fears the police because, until Buenos Aires repealed its police edicts in 1998, officers could detain people for wearing clothes tied to a different gender.
- She framed her daily role on open television as a way to make trans lives visible and to push for access to work, health care, housing, and dignity that many still lack.
- Addressing a recent on-air dispute with Carmen Barbieri, she said her irritability that day was due to menopausal symptoms and stressed that she holds Barbieri in high regard.
- After her menopause remark drew online reactions on Sunday, she replied on X with a light jab, writing, “Menopausia! Me Río de Janeiro. Cómo los altera una palabra.”
