In her memoir 'Horse Barbie', the activist and model explores the intersections of gender, colonialism and community.
Geena Rocero has been telling her story as an openly trans, Filipino-American model since giving a TED Talk in 2014 that went viral. That video turned her into a leading trans advocate and activist overnight. In her new memoir,, Rocero takes us on a vivid journey, from the gay pageant scene in Manila, capital of the Philippines, to the New York City modeling industry, from a life of intense isolation and secrecy to one of advocacy and community.
I am well aware that being onstage, I carry with me this long history of precolonial trans identities, genderfluid in spirit, gender-neutral in our language—though, on top of that, the forces of Spanish colonization. That’s why we have religious fiestas. On top of, the forces of American colonization. So I carry all of those with me. All of those things are me. All those complicated forces and nuances, they’re all me.
