Once upon a time, there was a model and a journalist... Or, the paradox of legislation against the trans community in Peru

At the beginning of last July, a new scandal brought the trans community back into the public eye. The beautiful Afro-Peruvian model Javiera Arnillas, tired of transphobic comments on her social media, revealed a curious incident with one of the authors of those comments. In a TikTok, Javiera revealed that she had kissed a prominent ultra-conservative journalist. The model explained how, in a famous bar in the Barranco district (one of the coolest neighborhoods in the world according to Time Out magazine), she was approached by the young Francisco de Piérola, who, attracted by Arnillas' beauty, couldn't resist coming over and flirting with her. After a few minutes, the two kissed in front of everyone in the bar. It wasn't until Javiera returned to her group of friends that she discovered who the handsome young man was.
