Amor Romeira has become one of the protagonists of this Friday’s news. The former Big Brother contestant has faced a very complicated moment in recent hours, after her recent intervention in the program En Boca de Todos, where she was involved in a tense confrontation with one of her collaborators.
This past Thursday, in the Cuatro space, a debate was held on gender self-determination due to the Trans Law, recently approved in the Congress of Deputies. Throughout this time, various opinions have emerged around this law, but the debate intensified again when a trans woman became popular on social networks for defending that trans women “are not women.”
”We are not women. We consider ourselves and we feel. We think like women, but we are not biological women and we will never be,” Crystal Jurado explained. Romeira was one of the guests on the program to debate the topic live. ”I understand the speech that Crystal gives partly because she comes from a culture that is 20 years behind us (…) They are not in the same struggle of trans women that we have in Europe,” she said.
The moment intensified when Sonia Ferrer launched a statement in which she asked Romeira what someone had to feel to ‘identify as a woman’ and begin the path of transition: ‘What does it mean to be a woman?”. ”Again the same debate as always. So many things have been achieved… and to explain now that a trans woman is a woman…” said the Canarian woman.
The debate went beyond the screens and both continued with their quarrel on their X profile (Twitter). After the confrontation, hundreds of users wanted to show her support for Romeira, but there were also many who attacked her. A barrage of criticism that she has had against the former Big Brother contestant and that this morning she announced that she was leaving her X profile forever (Twitter).
”It had been years since I had received so much transphobia. I’m not having a good time. I’m leaving Twitter so I don’t have to read barbaric things. Thank you to everyone who sends me their love and support. I need to disconnect. I’m sorry for not being able to continue fighting but it’s weighing me down a lot,” he wrote in his last tweet.
