摘要
傍晚时分,在瓜达拉哈拉(Guadalajara)一家妓院的客厅里,“维罗妮卡”(Veronica)从椅子上站起来,调大音响的音量。维罗妮卡是一名跨性别性工作者,在墨西哥和美国都有工作。墨西哥流行天后塔利亚(Thalia)演唱的《谁在乎?》(A quien le importa)充满了整个房间。维罗妮卡解释说,这首歌呼应了许多变性性工作者的生活方式:尽管受到谴责,但还是按照自己的方式生活。
In the early evening hours in the living room of a Guadalajara brothel, “Veronica,” a male-to-female transgender sex worker who plies her trade in both Mexico and the United States, rose from her chair to turn up the volume on the stereo. The song, “A quien le importa” (Who Cares?) sung by the Mexican pop diva Thalia, filled the room. Veronica explains that the song echoes the way that many transgender sex workers live their lives: on their own terms, despite condemnation.
