Naomi y las Gardenias de Tepito

Naomi, a transsexual hairdresser originally from the state of Mechoacán, has a salon that bears her name in the barrio of Tepito in Mexico City. On October 4th each year, the day of Saint Francisco of Assisi, she and her companions, mostly trans women, come together to play on the football team called "Gardenias de Tepito". The team was established more than 50 years ago, when a group of transsexual and transvestite women and men decided to raise their voices against machismo and homo / transphobia in the neighborhood.
