Cecilia Gentili
Cecilia Gentili (she/her) is a trans Latina and a fierce activist, a dedicated advocate, a striking actress on the hit TV program Pose, and a sex worker. She has done direct service through The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Community Center and the APICHA (originally the Asian and Pacific Islander Coalition on HIV/AIDS) Community Health Center in NYC, and later was managing director of policy for the world-renowned GMHC (originally the Gay Men’s Health Crisis). Several years ago she founded Trans Equity Consulting and has collaborated with many major organizations on transgender and gender nonbinary rights. Cecilia is also a founding member of Decrim NY, a coalition working toward decriminalization, decarceration, and destigmatization of people in the sex trade. Cecilia’s memoir, Faltas, was published in late 2022 by Little Puss Press, Inc. Here she compares and contrasts her experiences of transphobia in Argentina and the U.S.
