An example of Glória Perez's inspiration in real cases

An example of Glória Perez's inspiration in real cases is the story of Ivan's pregnancy (played by Carol Duarte) in A Força do Querer. This story is reminiscent of that of the American transgender Trystan Reese, who is married to Biff Chaplow and became Leo's father in July 2017. The author used reality as a starting point for building the plot, approaching delicate and important themes in a way that sensitive and respectful. In addition to addressing the trans issue through the character Ivan, Gloria Perez also had the participation of the transgender actor Tarso Brant as a consultant and in a special participation as Te, a character who helped raise awareness of the plot. Actress Maria Clara Spinelli, who plays Irene's friend, also broke barriers by winning a cisgender role on prime-time Brazilian television.
