Jedet is one of the most prominent figures in the emerging interpretive world in Spain. An icon of the fight for equality, respect and the rights of the LGTBI collective, she became known to the general public thanks to Veneno, the Atresmedia series dedicated to the figure of Cristina Ortiz. The actress born in Girona and living in Polícar during her childhood played the protagonist during her transitional stage, marking a milestone in her career.
However, his life has not been a simple path, dealing with complicated situations. This is what she confessed in A solas…, Vicky Martín Berrocal's new video podcast for Podium. Jedet confessed that he wanted to commit suicide during his own time of transition. In his words, he was aware of the risks he was taking but could not return to his life before the change. In the end, she wanted to live well with herself despite the circumstances.
“I couldn't continue living like this. "I wanted to die," explained the actress, who was halfway between two options despite how complicated the transitional process was. “I knew the risks there were, but it was either that or die. “I wanted to die, I wanted to commit suicide, I couldn't continue living as I was before my transition,” she shared with Martín Berrocal. Likewise, she detailed the physical risks she could go through.
“The risks to start operations. Imagine that they open your head, they take away your hormones, that I have to take them for life and they can give me risks for the heart, for a blood clot, for many things,” she summarized. It was a very emotional interview for Jedet, who confessed to being in a difficult moment: “Although you see me well, because today I am fine, I am in one of the worst times of my emotional life. "I am on full therapy and, if I don't improve in a month, I will have to start antidepressants."
According to her words with the presenter, as a young woman she suffered abuse and was a victim of rape: “I have been hit many times in my life: by my partner, by family, at school... And I am going to say this for the first time. publicly: they raped me. Maybe that's why my relationship with sex is like this. I didn't tell that I had been raped until three or four years after it happened. I was with a person who I thought was going to treat me well and he didn't. But for a long time I blamed myself for it.”
Despite this review of traumatic moments in her life, Jedet confessed that she feels more in tune with her current self: “Now I don't feel more or less of a woman than before, but I feel more comfortable with my body. Before having the vaginoplasty I was already living as a woman, but something was missing, I didn't feel comfortable when it came to having a partner or buying pants.”
