Normality test


02 December 2014

Imagine a wall. Draw the word NORMAL in it and put it as close as possible. And now think about the following statements, and if your mind goes into confirmation, stay still, if it doesn't come in, take one or two steps back:

My sex matches my gender. My sexual choices are in line with the “majority”. My appearance, my aesthetics, my complexion, can be integrated into groups of men/women. The color of my skin or race is similar to what I see when I look around me. I have a partner. My language is the language that most people use. My legal position is therefore legal. I am desirable for those who do not belong to my gender. Ligo. My body is “functional”, that is, without diversity. I live a life that matches my age. I'm not fat or too thick. If I'm a girl, I have long hair, if I'm a boy, I'm short. I have never been struck in the anus. My level of education is high. Father and mother live together. We've always had some source of income at home.

We can continue. But let's stop. And you, from where do you now look at normality?

The dreams of the long struggle, I really want you.

There are those who, being a brilliant brain, with definitions of "little detail," are experts in transforming and transforming the same thing, in other words. It was yours and it has been a project in eternum that has been repeated for decades. This was one of the main reasons to... [+]

Killings, arms escalation and consequences

On 26 December, during an air strike, the Israeli Army killed five Palestinian journalists trying to reach the city. They killed 130 Palestinian journalists. This news has reminded me of a couple of things, the first, the persecution of true journalists in any part of the world,... [+]

51% of young people employed

In recent months I have had to work in a number of institutes and, at some point, I have had to talk to the students about the possibilities offered by the labour market. The typology of the students is varied and in the same city varies a lot from one neighborhood to another,... [+]

All subtitles

The girl who appears in the center of photography, which can hardly be considered historical, is writing a list of adjectives: I, you, he, we, you, they. Looking down, I couldn't see what his gaze looked like.

Insensitive to the work of the photographer, you, slowly and... [+]


Technology
When we are unable to

When you work with older people or people with physical and neural diversity, you realize that the idea of competition in our society limits us a lot as a species. That is, our system puts you in value by doing things specifically, and what it doesn't do is incapable of the... [+]


Hysterical materialism
I wanted to write

I wanted to write for the Christmas lights and claim to become an annual tradition in this time of street lighting, a welcoming, joyful and joyful public space from the point of view of the class. But, of course, also warm public spaces where some young people can be warming up... [+]

Hayedos

He forgives the oak trees, oak trees, oaks, herons, strawberries, dressings, chestnuts, birch, gorostidias, chamomiles, pine trees and all the societies of the trees, but today the hayedo has a date on the occasion of the celebrations of the winter border.

It is easier for me... [+]


Moving us?

Euskaraldia comes back. Apparently, it will be in the spring of next year. They have already presented it and the truth is that it has surprised me; not Euskaraldia himself, but his motto: We'll do it by moving around.

The first time I have read or heard it, the title of the... [+]


The old neoliberal budgets of the new government
In the same vein is the policy of the new Basque Government. The words yes, but the actions are not clear in the budget presented by the Pradales government.

Laziness

I do not know if you also have the same perception – I recognise this: here I have started to write in a scientific way. I am referring to the natural extension of the word laziness. I hear more and more in the corners of Hego Euskal Herria: Basque, Spanish and, of course,... [+]

Smile, chew and silence

Many at Christmas feel more lazy than illusion when we think about meals and family gatherings. But we anticipate that it is not food that makes us feel collectively uncomfortable, but the normativity that defines the traditional family. Moreover, we would dare to say that the... [+]

'Humiliadero' of the RGI

I have always found the way in Spanish to the carriages that can be found here and there: humiliating. Isn't it a pretty light, white name or doesn't it have any connotation? After all, everything that was going on there had to be humiliated. It is known that for the god of... [+]


End of Syrian Arab Republic

The end of the Syrian Arab Republic has caused great surprise at the way in which it has taken place: fast and almost without resistance. However, it is not so strange when we consider that the country was destroyed, impoverished and trodden. Most Syrians have long been... [+]
