Suellen Rayanne Linhares Ribeiro (Rio Claro, January 9, 1999[1]), also known in social medias as Trans de Direita (Trans of right-wing), is a Brazilian travesti and internet personality, considered one of the leading voices of the Brazilian LGBTQ rights movement.[2] She gained notoriety in 2016 to be a transgender woman who supported Jair Bolsonaro. Politically, she identifies as a conservative,[3] as a member of the Brazil Union party.[2]

Life

Suellen has completed high school and lives in Rio Claro, in the interior of São Paulo state.[4][5]

She gained visibility on social media through her various stances against what she defines as gender ideology,[2] opposing various positions held by the LGBTQ community, and rejecting the concept of a transgender child.[4] She advocates for the existence of only two genders and opposes transgender women using women's restrooms, proposing the creation of a third restroom for such situations.[3]

In 2024, she ran for city council in Rio Claro as a candidate for Brazil Union, receiving only 83 votes, which were not enough to win the election.[6]

In February 2025, she attended a dinner hosted by Jair Bolsonaro's Liberal Party (PL), which marked the opening of the PL's 1st National Communication Seminar, as part of the party’s strategy to expand its presence on social media and strengthen its internal communication. The dinner was also attended by leading right-wing digital influencers, such as Dom Lancelotti, founder of the "Gays with Bolsonaro" movement; Nayara Thaf, president of the Conservative Student Union; and federal deputy Nikolas Ferreira, as well as several key party figures, including party president Valdemar Costa Neto, Senate opposition leader Rogério Marinho, and Jair Bolsonaro himself.[7]
