We are never of a single nature. Who are you? What are you? Woman or man? Or neither water nor wine? In the morning, a math teacher, do you still learn English in the afternoon? Are you one of those who buys at Eroski and sells at Wallapop? A young man? Adult child? Basque living in Spanish? Are you always one? Always the same? How many characters have you migrated from? How many realities? How many times have you claimed your right to return? Are you stagnant or detached water?
If there are people without normality… But there are no. All normativities are petty and selfish. Heteronormativity imposed a dichotomy on us in childhood: an honest and humble girl, a brave and proud boy. Then it was admitted that there were honest and courageous men of women. Nothing else. The rest was invisible, impossible.
I would like to make the point here that those who are outside the normal range have been invisible. They have the right to the word and the image, I, we all have it. Because personality takes different, diffuse, transitory, contradictory forms. Because identity is not imposed, it is not sold, it is not bought.
Transsexual. It's the one with a name. Jon or Jone. As before the name was put on the church stack, today television gives the name and being to a newborn adult: Nora, Izaro, Ares… They speak on their behalf, free and liberated.
Nahiane is a beautiful name. The name of a child.
The rights of minors do not depend on the will of the parents, nor on the strategies for raising the audience of the media, much less in the service of communication marketing.
It's easy for a very fluent minor who says he wants to be transsexual to increase the number of viewers. When we hear a 40-year-old transsexual who suffered quietly in her childhood, the solution cannot be for the child to sit on the television set.
Listening to the words of some parents of transsexual minors, I feel a chilly feeling: the skirts and the clothing of princesses, the toys, and the length of hair to explain the identity frustration of the child. Chills are the eleventh perverse consequence of heteronormativity.
But it is true that when gender dysphoria – suffering from sex – is untenable, something must be done. It is true that sexual identity should not be patented, but I am convinced that gender units in public hospitals have a broader view than some parents I have heard on television and no whim decisions are made. When we continue to tell stories to children, there are no changes that guarantee their happiness. The name and condition of a child at stake.

Just as we experienced the flourishing of the Basque Country with the help of the artists, so that this time, taking advantage of their impulses, we continue to make our way together giving the necessary support to the Basque political prisoners, exiles and deportees

Epistemology, or theory of knowledge, is one of the main areas of philosophy, and throughout history there have been important debates about the limits and bases of our knowledge. Within this we find two powerful corridors that propose different ways of accessing knowledge: The... [+]
We learned this week that the Court of Getxo has closed the case of 4-year-old children from the Europa School. This leads us to ask: are the judicial, police, etc. authorities prepared to respond to the children’s requests? Are our children really protected when they are... [+]
Gure lurraldeetan eta bizitzetan sortzen diren behar, desio eta ekimenen inguruan gero eta gehiago entzuten dugu harreman eta proiektu publiko-komunitarioak landu beharraz, eta pozgarria da benetan, merkaturik gabeko gizarte antolaketarako ezinbesteko eredua baita. Baina... [+]
We have renewed the dialogue in the secretariat of the faculty, for the most auspicious: they are far away, for their enrollment, the times when only the students came. The trend has changed for a long time, and parents – most notably mothers – are taking an increasingly... [+]
The argument of a syllogism has three propositions, the last of which is necessarily deduced from the other two. It is with this deductive logic that I can analyze, for me, the long and traumatic socioecological conflict in Carpinteria that is taking place in Navarre.

I have recently worked in class on Etxahun Barkox’s beautiful and touching cobla. The bad guy! The afflictions of the house began because of the creation of the “praube with beauty”, but in seventeen years she had entered the sea of misfortune, having to abandon the girl... [+]
Azken egunak garrantzi handikoak izan dira Bartzelonan, etxebizitzaren aldeko mugimenduarentzat eta espekulatzaileen aurkako borrokarentzat. Urtarrilaren 28an, polizia-armada batek Raval auzoko Massana Zaharrari [zentro sozial okupatua] eraso egin zion goizaldean, aurrez abisatu... [+]
Zer jakin behar dut? Norekin erlazionatu behar dut? Non bizi behar dut? Ardura horiekin gabiltza gizakiok gure gizarteen baitan bizitza on baten ideia bizitzeko bidean. Ondo erantzuten ez badakigu, bazterretan geratuko garen beldurrez.

I don't want my daughter disguising herself as a Gypsy in the caldereros. I don’t want Gypsy children at my daughter’s school to dress up as Gypsies in caldereros. Because being a gypsy is not a disguise. Because being a gypsy is not a party that takes place once a year, with... [+]
The road goes by steps, and I learned a little while ago that it seems to have already begun. But people also want to learn to fill that sentence with content. Alone we could achieve little, maybe even resignation as soon as we started. Gathering huge crowds can also complicate... [+]
Ez zuen egoki jokatu, neurriak hartu behar ziren, bestela, ez dugu ikasten. Itxuraz, ez zen ohartzen egindakoaren inpaktuaz, normal jarraitzen zuen, batzuetan, ingurukoek baino itxura zoriontsuagoz. Gainera, altuegi hitz egiten du, hori ez zaio inori gustatzen. Darabiltzan... [+]
The Department of Education doesn't understand why public employees have gone on strike. He's got to ask the LAB Syndicate. This union signed an agreement with the department in April 2023. Two years later they have also called for a strike because, unlike the previous ones, the... [+]
