"Transgrupo NGO Marcela Prado, a Brazilian trans group silent protest Wednesday brought together 50 members at a Curitiba cinema presentation of the film The Danish Girl,

According to Rafaelly Wiest, director of the NGO, many cinemas refused to show the film and some prevented trans people (transsexuals) from buying tickets, claiming that they were sold out on several dates. This situation took place in Florianópolis (SC – Santa Catarina, a Brazilian state) and caught the attention of lawyers from the Sexual Diversity and Gender Committee from the OAB-PR (Ordem dos Advogados do Brasil, secção do Paraná – Brazilian Bar Association, Paraná section) in 2015. The members met and with donations, bought the tickets for the group."
