Este artículo examina el cortometraje Loxoro (2011) de la cineasta Claudia Llosa. La cinta centra su atención en una realidad que usualmente no sólo se encuentra invisibilizada, sino que, además, está estigmatizada negativamente. Para ello, aborda la historia Makuti, una madre adoptiva ‘trans’ que deambula por la noche en una busca desesperada de su hija Mía, también ‘trans’, que desde hace algunos días está desaparecida. Desde un punto de vista lingüístico, se explora la construcción de un nuevo campo semántico a través del empleo del lóxoro, una práctica lingüística cifrada empleada por la comunidad ‘trans’ afincada en los márgenes de Lima.
