* “I was hoping I was gay,” she said. “Because, for my family, it would be less painful. I wish I could accept my body [as a man]. It would be much easier for me if I could be a straight guy and have a girlfriend, family and daughters, married, all this normal life. But it’s something in your brain.” Lea also shared what Toninho said after watching her walk the catwalk for Alexandre Herchcovitch in São Paulo Fashion Week: "Now I can die happy."
