The visit of Karla Sofia Gascón ‘El Hormiguero’, Pablo Motos’ program, has been the focus of controversy on social networks in recent hours. The Spanish interpreter, first trans woman to be chosen best actress at the Cannes Film Festival for her performance in ‘Emilia Pérez’, went to the Antena 3 space this past Thursday for the first time, where she starred in a tough clash with his presenter.
The actress announced his transition in 2018which has led him to receive death threats Since then: «They have told me everything and more. In Mexico until They threatened to dismember me and put me in a garbage bag,” he told El País. Despite these problems, it has been his transition that has brought him the great role of his career, which has made his name sound for the Oscar pools.
The one from Requena wanted to know his feelings regarding a possible nomination for the most prestigious awards in international cinema, which many experts have already begun to attribute to him: «You would be the first trans nominated. What does this mean to you?», asked the presenter, without knowing that this question would be the beginning of a small confrontation with his guest. «Well, I don’t like adjectives, maybe I’m also the tallest», responded the one from Alcobendas, to whom this comment did not sit well at all.
The tense encounter between Pablo Motos and Karla Sofía Gascón
Pablo Motos wanted to know why she didn’t like the nickname trans, to which the interpreter replied harshly: “I am what I am, a woman who has transitioned […] The truth is that adjectives bother me a little, as they would say in Mexico. It cannot be used as many media outlets use it as a claim to make people see the news as a weirdo. When it is used to generate morbidity I don’t like it», recalled Gascón, who believes that it should only be used «to praise the achievements of a minority that is marginalized and socially beaten.»
Some words to which the television presenter wanted to reply: «When you received the award, you dedicated it to all trans people who is suffering and you said the word trans. I tell you because You told me before not to say it», claimed the Valencian, visibly uncomfortable in the conversation.
«What the hell does it matter to you what I am? Nobody has anything to understand. I am a woman and that’s it. I’m fed up with everyone and since I’m fed up with them I have to claim it,” the woman from Madrid said in response to the impertinence of the presenter of ‘El Hormiguero’.

I didn’t go to burst anything or anything like that“I went to have fun, to listen and respond based on what they asked me, nothing more,” he said.

As Rambo would say: to which You call it hell, I call it home», he acknowledged.

A group of afflicted far-right voters for whom I am more every day public enemy number 1», lamented the interpreter.
«I’m just telling you something: I will continue to achieve success for my work, you will continue raging like zombies at the corral door. The day you start respecting the tiger, I will be able to dedicate myself to living without having to bite the chickens. You are used to no one answering your lack of respectyour hatred, your mockery and your insults… you won’t be able to handle me. Hale, you already know me, tomorrow you will meet me again try to degrade or chop hesitating 3 times with the adjective trans, truns or trains!”, concluded the interpreter.
