Juani was born as a woman, but he knew he was a boy since he was 5 years old. He was one of the first transgender individuals in Cuba who had gender reassignment surgery when he was 61 years old. (Cuba has offered free sex changes through the public health system in 2008. The financing and the medical specialists come from Belgium, which has a long-standing partnership with Cuban medicine in this area.) Juani got his reassignment surgery thanks to the great support of Mariela Castro, President Raul Castro's daughter, who is director of the government's National Center for Sex Education called CENESEX, National Assembly member and she's a leading advocate for the gay and transgender community in Cuba. In 2013 Cuba's parliament passed a ban forbidding discrimination in the workplace based on sexual orientation. Mariela Castro, who is also a parliament member, voted against the ban because it didn't include protections for transgender people. Juani lives in city of Matanzas with his brother Santos, who repairs bed mattresses and cares of most domestic duties while Juani works at the factory. © Diana Mrazikova / VWPICS
