Jessica Alves reveals her personal fight against gender dysphoria: "It was surgery or die"

Jessica Alves, known worldwide for her physical transformation and her more than one hundred aesthetic operations, has shared her story on the program La vida sin filtros. From a very young age, Jessica was clear that she wanted to be a woman, but she confesses that she tried to adapt to masculine social standards, which made her unhappy.

"I knew since I was a child that I was a woman. The woman that I am lived inside my head since I was little," Jessica revealed in the interview. However, due to the pressure from society, she tried to live as a man, but could not find happiness in that role. "I was very unhappy," she confessed.

Throughout her life, Jessica has invested more than one million euros in more than one hundred cosmetic surgeries with the aim of transforming her physical appearance and feeling more in line with her gender identity. In 2020, she began her sex change transition, which led her to undergo more surgeries: "It was die or live."

The guest assured that, despite the risks of cosmetic surgery, she feels happy and grateful for the unconditional support of her family and friends during her journey. She also highlighted the importance of the help of two psychologists who helped her understand her gender dysphoria.

The story of Jessica Alves is a testimony of courage and determination in the search for her own identity and personal fulfillment, facing the obstacles and prejudices of society.

The collaborator of 'Life without filters', Alessandro Lecquio, assured that aesthetic operations should not be noticed: "To give you a duck face, speedy eyes and an absurd nose, I think it is better not to have surgery." "There is no need to be disrespectful," replied María Velasco, a psychiatrist. "We are talking about the life of a person before us and each person has their story." Lecquio insisted: "The great responsible are the doctors", he insisted
