The Article Paragraph Title is as follows: When Euskaltzaindia turned the penis into a linguistic problem. Published in ARGIA by journalist Axier López. It started like this. “Lur was born two months ago. Although he did not have an official name yet, Lur has been the head before and after coming out to this world. During pregnancy, we didn't want to know anything about their interval. In addition to the fact that the form of the genitals seemed to us to be a secondary issue, we did not want to condition ourselves or our environment with clichés characteristic of a given genus”. That is, he told the way of crucis he had lived to bury in the civil registry a child born with a penis.

In compliance with the Spanish Civil Registry Act, since 2001, Euskaltzaindia has established a distinction in the names by sex that the staff of the Civil Registry of the peoples consults if the name chosen by their parents seems strange. If it is stated in the Nomenclature that Iraitz is a boy's name, it will be difficult for parents to give that name to the child born with the avalanche.

The Basque Language Academy has responded that it does not participate in political debates, that it does nothing but comply with the law, that it is not a big problem and that people have complained very little. It seems that the people who are complaining today are not so small, as last January Euskaltzaindia will ask the Ministry of Justice to be more flexible with the Basque nomenclature and to take account of the characteristics of the Basque country.

Two weeks ago we heard about Ekai's death. Ondarroa's young transsexual committed suicide at the age of 16. According to the Chrysallis Association, Ekai had to fight for excessive battles for a teenager in his day to day: The struggle for the change of name in the register, the struggle to receive the hormonal treatment that had never arrived in the “gender unit” of Cruces, the struggle for a formative session at the institute that was not made to understand its reality and therefore respect it…

Just last week, the Chrysallis Association called in the Basque Parliament for an adaptation of the transsexuality law to eliminate its pathologies. The process of getting hormones is slow, as both adolescents and adults need a previous diagnosis of gender dysphoria. They have also called for the development of appropriate care protocols for transsexuality in the Basque educational system. Two of the battles that overshadowed Ekai's life. Third, problems with renaming.

That is why I have remembered the Nomenclature. It is not just a matter of recognizing that it has characteristics of the Basque Country (a mixed tradition of names such as Lur or Hodei), but of understanding that the law of the Spanish Civil Registry itself is transphobic. Among the names prohibited by law are “those who have confused identification and those who mislead as a whole in terms of sex”. This binarist society sees the difficulty of identifying people's sex as a threat. Sexual ambiguity seems dangerous, an attack on social peace.

“We should rethink the tyranny of dualism. I’ve talked about diversity pedagogy,” said researcher Dau García Dauder in an interview published in ARGIA. The motto of the concentrations organized in tribute to EKAI has been “It has not been a suicide, but a murder”, as it has been transphobia that has taken Ekai away from the eagerness to live.

Axier López's explanation expressed his desire to submit the tyranny of dualism to trial, but he stumbled upon the harsh wall of institutional transphobia. The same wall that killed Ekai.
