Transgender activist

Lux came out as a transgender woman in 2021 and publicly announced her transition, appearing on the cover of Chilean magazine, Revista Ya.

Lux said her whole family was incredibly supportive of her transition, saying in a translation from Spanish: '[It was] something that's very natural for everyone in my family... it's almost something that they expected to happen.'

She said she doesn't mind looking at photos of herself before her transition saying: 'It doesn't make me anxious to see old photos of myself. The same thing happens to me with theater: I see someone who was doing what they liked.'

Her brother's support

After her announcement, her big brother Pedro, shared his public support for his sister with a photo of Lux on his Instagram, writing: 'Mi hermana, mi corazón, nuestra Lux,' which means, 'My sister, my heart, our Lux.'
