    It is a dream come true - Jedet confessed (Polycar, Granada, 1992) when he speaks of a sport that stars in this issue - because I bought the magazine when I was a teenager and fantasized about the idea of being one of those cosmo girls, but notI saw possible since I had not yet made my transition.What I did not know is that in the end I would be able to be myself and I would have this reward for everything I have suffered.I have thought many times about throwing in the towel, but if I can be here, then they can other (transsexuals) and I feel that we are no longer weirdos ".He says it excitedly, with tears in his eyes, because life has not been easy.

    A difficult childhood

    Carmen Jedet Izquierdo Sánchez (the name that appears in his DNI since he changed sex) dreamed as a child with being an actress due to his fear of dying."I believed that the actors were inside TV and my mother told me:" No, you see them there because in their day they recorded the movie and last time through their art ".Then I thought: "Well, I want to be an actress, I don't die so" ".At the same time that he was brewing with the world of show, he was aware that he felt a woman, despite the fact that his entire environment insisted that he was a man, which led him to suffer 'bullying' at school.

    "Rezaba todas las noches para levantarme al día siguiente siendo una niña"

    "I looked like my cousin, but they educated us and dressed us differently.Therefore, every night I prayed and asked to get up the next day being a girl, "says the actress, singer and writer, who claims to have found in God the strength to move forward."He guides me and protects me.What the church thinks does not matter to me, it does not represent me ".

    From Owl to Mariposa

    Jedet:

    His adolescence was not a rose path either.It was marked by drug abuse, something already overcome, and by bulimia, with which it is still dealing."My relationship with food (and the perception of my image) is very difficult.I can't weigh myself, I don't want to look at the sizes of my clothes ... (it makes a long pause), but I'm going to therapy and I'm fine.Having allowed me to gain weight since I finished recording the 'Veneno' series has been an exercise in self -love, "he explains.

    "Me he sentido tan mal conmigo misma y tan sola, que trataba de autodestruirme con las drogas, la bulimia o el sexo"

    And he warns that he does not like to take it as an example because "nobody knows the battles that I book every day with my demons.I have felt so bad with myself and so alone, that I tried to self -destruct myself with drugs, bulimia or sex.Go to bed with four boys in a weekend or take a pill to give me a high made me think: "Wow, I'm the host!".And deep down I was shit.Now I feel that my life is still a straight line and I love myself a lot.In fact, I recently saw myself naked in the mirror and I said crying: «I got it.I am who I am, and who does not respect him...Well Chao!I do not intend to please anyone »”.

    With this, Jedet tries to silence those who criticized her after her facial feminization operation."In general I am strong and I think there are more people who love me who hate me, but they caught me in a moment of weakness and insecurity and it hurt because everyone believes herself with the right to comment and be cruel".

    "Todo el mundo se cree con derecho a opinar y ser cruel"

    The writing (it has two books published, 'My last gift: Diary of an open heart in channel' and 'butterfly' effect), music and performance have served as catharsis.Moreover, the seed he planted when he came to Madrid to study at the Heart Interpretation School, while exercising as waitress and 'YouTuber', paid off last year, upon receiving the wave for the best female performer for 'Veneno'."I didn't get excited.What I want is to work, and if I don't have prizes but a lot of work, great.What makes me happy is that my Yaya makes me poor to the poor when I go to my people (laughs) ".

    For now, projects are not missing: he is preparing a new album, 'the men I have had to forget', whose title pays tribute to a film of his admired Almodóvar ("I would love to roll with him, but he doesn't call me," he jokes);It will be on tour during the summer and will soon launch its own makeup line."I am aware that, unlike other 'trans' girls, I have a privileged position.But we still have to raise awareness of the freedom of each one to be who wants to be.The beautiful thing about life is diversity, "he says.
