Eu não gosto de levantar bandeiras, gosto de fazer tudo com muita leveza, porque não acho que a minha verdade é a verdade única. Gosto de expor que existem maneiras das pessoas serem reconhecidas, serem felizes e das pessoas respeitarem, sendo nas causas raciais, causas LGBTQIA+”, disse Gattaz.  A atleta de vôlei ainda pregou que gosta de encorajar mulheres. Carol Gattaz é assumidamente bissexual e defendeu que o principal na luta de gênero é a conquista da independência.

00:00 Carol, now, asking a little bit outside the volleyball court,

00:05 in another answer you even commented about inspiration.

00:08 And who follows you, I think, entering your social networks,

00:11 you can see, I imagine that in your DMs, even more,

00:14 but even in the comments, in the YouTube comments, here in the chat,

00:17 we see the comment of many women, girls, volleyball fans,

00:21 who want to play volleyball, who are inspired by you,

00:23 who have you as a reference figure in volleyball.

00:28 You are an active figure in social networks

00:31 and who fights for many causes.

00:34 I think for feminism, for women, for women's rights,

00:38 encouraging women to practice sports,

00:40 and even for LGBT causes, for example.

00:43 Do you think that raising this flag is important for the fight?

00:49 How do you see it? Is it really part of your life?

00:52 Is it something you like to do and feel responsible

00:57 for taking this action to other women, girls, etc.?

01:03 I think so. I think because,

01:05 even though we have already taken steps forward

01:09 in this fight for women's equality,

01:12 unfortunately Brazil is still a sexist country.

01:15 I think the whole world is still sexist.

01:17 But I say that I don't like to raise flags.

01:20 I like to do everything very lightly.

01:23 Because I don't think my truth is the only truth.

01:26 I don't think your truth is the only truth,

01:28 neither yours nor yours.

01:30 I like to say that there are ways for people

01:34 to be recognized, to be happy,

01:36 and for people to respect, in any way,

01:39 be it racial causes, be it LGBTQI+ causes,

01:44 be it any kind of causes.

01:46 I say that if there were more love and respect for people,

01:51 regardless of class, even social,

01:55 I think the world would be better.

01:57 I like to expose this.

01:59 Because, thank God, I am an independent woman.

02:02 I have my job, I don't have a boyfriend or girlfriend,

02:06 so I don't depend on a partner, a husband, a wife.

02:10 I don't depend on anyone.

02:12 I want to encourage and show that women have this strength.

02:16 Women don't need to be married to anyone,

02:18 or be with someone, or be with someone else,

02:20 to be an active person in the world.

02:23 And more than ever, I say "we women",

02:26 I still represent another category of women,

02:29 women over 40 years old.

02:31 A few years ago, they were considered,

02:34 imagine, 40 years ago, 15, 20 years ago,

02:37 they were considered old.

02:39 Wow, 40 years old.

02:41 Nowadays, no. Nowadays you can do anything.

02:44 Not that it wasn't possible years ago,

02:46 but today you see more active people

02:49 at 40, 50, 60 years old.

02:51 70 years old. My mother is 70 years old,

02:54 and it seems she is 50, she is very young.

02:57 I say that there are no limits.

03:00 And I like to fight for these causes.

03:02 For example, what makes me happy, I talk about inspiration.

03:06 When I came back from the Olympics,

03:08 what made me happy, actually,

03:11 were women over 40 years old,

03:13 who came to me and said,

03:15 "Carol, thank you.

03:17 Thank you for being this example for us."

03:20 Because I was at home, sometimes doing nothing,

03:23 and today I came back to volleyball.

03:25 And it's not professional volleyball,

03:27 because that's not the goal, but I came back to play volleyball.

03:30 Imagine, you at 40 years old at the Olympics,

03:32 why can't I play volleyball?

03:34 Thank you. And it wasn't just one or two,

03:36 there were several women who came to me.

03:39 So, for me, it's a very gratifying thing.

03:42 And I joke that one of my main goals,

03:46 and for me to want to be at the Olympics,

03:50 is once again to break barriers.

03:52 Because if I'm at the Olympics, I'll be 43 years old.

03:56 And that's very rare. I don't have that at volleyball.

03:58 I was the oldest at the Tokyo Olympics.

04:01 Now, much older.

04:02 Maybe I'd be the oldest at the Olympics.

04:05 So, I think we don't have to...

04:08 First, we don't have to have barriers.

04:10 I think it's impossible to have an opinion, for me.

04:13 And more than ever, these causes I like to talk about

04:18 and I position myself, it's because of that.

04:20 I think people have to live the way they think is best.

04:23 They think they'll be happy.

04:26 We see so many things happening in the world nowadays,

04:29 that I think the respect, a little empathy

04:32 for each human being, I think the world would be a little better.

04:35 And each turtle's step, we'll be able to

04:39 go up a little more in these rights that women

04:42 have, just like men, for sure.

04:45 -Yes. -Go ahead.

04:47 Since you have positive comments, obviously, supporting you,

04:52 you receive many negative comments, hate speech,

04:56 we see that a lot on the internet.

04:58 How do you deal with that?

05:00 Oh, I do. People have a short memory.

05:03 It's funny because, thank God, I receive very little.

05:08 These types of comments.

05:11 I try to absorb them in the best way possible.

05:13 But, of course, we are human.

05:16 When we see some comments, we get sad.

05:20 But, mainly, some comments like,

05:23 "You're too old, retire soon, why are you going to be in the national team?"

05:27 "Oh, grandma, I'm going to be in the national team."

05:29 And I laugh, because I say,

05:32 at the same time I get sad because people have a short memory.

05:36 Until a year ago, people were congratulating me

05:39 for the achievements we had in the Olympics,

05:41 which I think was the big milestone of everything.

05:43 But I'm still performing.

05:46 So, I get sad about that.

05:48 But, at the same time, I have so many positive things,

05:52 that all this negativity, for me,

05:55 I'm putting aside with the positives that come,

05:58 which are much more.

06:00 So, I try to put it aside.

06:03 *laughs*
