Valentina Berr is a writer, educator, and transfeminist activist whose work focuses on questioning normative assumptions about gender, identity, and the body. In her book The Answer to Everything You Would Ask a Trans Girl (2023), Valentina invites readers to reflect on the fluidity of identity, the complexity of femininity, and the challenges that trans people face in contemporary society, combining rigor, tenderness, and humor to make complex topics such as dysphoria, non-binarity, and transfeminist violence accessible. Her approach goes beyond individual experience, exploring how culture, politics, and social environments shape the ways we exist and relate to gender, always from a critical and liberating perspective.
Valentina shares her transition journey and the obstacles she has encountered, from her relationship with her family to confronting social and media-driven transphobia, proposing a way of living identity that celebrates plurality, self-definition, and resilience. Furthermore, her perspective encompasses both personal intimacy and collective issues, building bridges between individual experiences and broader social struggles, becoming a key voice for understanding the richness and complexity of being trans in contemporary Spain and beyond. Her work and reflections inspire questioning the norm, opening up space for questions instead of imposed answers, and recognizing the beauty of diversity in all its forms.
