Most of the people we are cysheterodists are born out of cities. We were born, raised and lived (raun) in towns, until the heteronormative dynamics of peoples have exiled us to cities, forced us to sexilize.
We've gone to search cities for habitability, network, community. Because there we have put our desires and our purposes to take root once. In cities, we've been entangled with our partners, we've built parentlines of transformation, and at many times we've had the certainty of transforming society with our actions. The communities we create and create in cities, therefore, are necessary.
But without wanting to, this urban trend has also led us to fall into the capitalist trap. Because the false idea of progressism, mixed with a treacherous and destructive consumerist model, has led us to believe that everything happens in cities, that everything is color, that our sexualities will emerge in a fertile soil full of opportunities.
But cities are no longer as stimulating and, as Yayo Herrero says, the city is a fact that only consumes material resources and generates garbage (also emotional), which in addition to resources consumes and makes people invisible, until they get to the end.
As transfeminist activists, we're seeing how people can reactivate the cisheterdisident social and political fabric.
What to say about the cutting-edge communities that we are creating in cities. They are often endogamic relations full of guaiism and appearances, in which the permanent praise of three or four cultural or academic gurus based on asymmetries of power contribute to the creation of cultural, social and political elites. Very subversive, dissident and progressive, yes; but you choose, in short.
There are many of us who want to leave the cities behind and, living, fill the sack to create community that we go to the people. And if we talk about habitability, there are also dynamics and networks that make the lives of people in peoples stimulating. They must be encouraged, they do not come out of the blue.
What's missing is all the work that we've done LGBT+ in cities. Cysheterodisidents have to articulate with each other.
As transfeminist activists, we are seeing how in peoples the civilizing social and political fabric can be revived. And as professionals, we're looking at how, by performing municipal diagnoses, it's possible to design public policies that have an impact on sexualities not included in cysheterosis. Because, yes, there may also be an opportunity in peoples to be who we are.
