The actress revealed that she began receiving hormone treatment last July and that her entire family was incredibly supportive.
He said it was something very natural for everyone in my family and “almost something they expected to happen.”
Lux added that “it doesn’t make me anxious to look at old photos of myself.”
She said: “The same thing happens to me with theater: I see someone who was doing what he liked.”
Lux’s journey
Before coming out as transgender, Lux first came out as gay and then identified as non-binary, which ultimately led her to realize she was a woman.

‘I think if I had been confident enough in myself, I would have transitioned in my teens. At school I trusted my classmates
“Moving around the world as a woman is much easier for me, but I still advocate that non-binary identities have a space in society,” she explained.
‘Coming out as a gay man didn’t cost me anything, but deep down it wasn’t who I was. “It was just a step on the ladder, but it wasn’t me,” he said. “It was an easy thing to say,” he said of coming out, “but the truth was, ‘Ugh, if you really knew how I feel…’
Lux said she is eager to fight for the rights of the trans community.
“We need trans activists who are good, intelligent, informed and who can be strong voices against transphobia, homophobia and racism,” he said.
Pedro’s close bond with Lux

Lux credited Pedro as an “important part” of her journey, as she recalled: “When I officially told him about my transition over FaceTime, he asked me how I was feeling… because I remember he was worried.
“I said, ‘I’m happy.’ And his response was, ‘Perfect, this is amazing.'”
Pedro shared a tribute to Lux when the magazine came out, sharing the cover on Instagram with the caption: ‘My sister, my heart, our Lux’, which translates to: ‘My sister, my heart, our Lux.’
After Lux came out as transgender, Pedro told Esquire that her “protective side is lethal, but I need her more than she needs me.”
He added: “She is and always has been one of the most powerful people and personalities I have ever met.”
The actor has also shown his support for the LGBTQIA community on Instagram, sharing photos of a rainbow flag following attacks on trans rights in March 2023.

Giving insight into family life, the actor previously told Esquire: ‘She ruled the house immediately. When my older sister and I visited, we were like intruders.
“Our mother was her mother, but to think that we were entitled to this woman’s attention in any way was absurd.”
