Liberados Pride Flag
Liberados (liberadas/liberades or liberadxs/liberad@s): drag/trans cuspers, transvesting genderfluid/centrigender evenics, or cross-dressing sex-workers that weren't full-time transvestic; allies and community supporting and sympathizing with travestis, including transvestites or prostitutes that didn't necessarily qualify the criteria of being travesti or necessarily experienced self-identification towards the travesti identity.
The term comes from the letter L in ASTRAL, a Brazilian organization from 1992. At that time, travestis were often associated with people living with HIV+/AIDS, sex work, homelessness, and they were discriminated and marginalized due to aesthetic abjection, societal lookism (aesthetic prejudice/body shaming), and moral hygienism (social hygiene movement). Liberados, then, was a term used to demonstrate that there were people who lived with travestis and supported them, or that interdepended on/by their everyday fight in the streets.
Nowadays, they could be labeled as cuspers/evenix, transformistas (artistic/comercial cross-dressers (CD/cdzinhas), crossdreamers, performatic transvestites, or transvestic performists/drag performers), prostitutxs/putes (prostiputes), allies (simpatizantes), trans* (trans asterisk), nonbinary, andrógines, etc.
