Our destiny: sexual liberation
Four years ago we started the Hiruki Larroxa project. Since 2018 working on parity and LGBT+ issues, acting, reflecting, generating, researching... Transforming and turning along different paths. That is, we are three Maritxu who from transfeminism are developing training, consulting, research, accompaniment and comprehensive projects.
And in this corner that ARGIA friends have offered us, we will also reflect and encourage critical thinking. Raising different issues that we think are important towards sexual liberation.
"Is the LGBT+ movement falling into identity politics? What is the relationship between feminism and the sexual liberation movement in the
Basque Country?"
We bring to this space controversial or interesting issues. Because, at a time when Twitter debates have been imposed, we believe that these conversations should be conducted calmly and with the time they need, and not in the midst of the convergence and rhythms of digital social networks. Those of us who can write in this corner, as in the Txiolandia, have a character limit, but they allow more than making an endless bird's wire, playing more words, issuing different topics for debate and touching different edges.
When it comes to promoting critical thinking essential for social transformation, it is also essential to critically analyze and revolutionize thinking and the cisheterosexual regime. For this, along with feminism, sexual liberation can be an interesting and useful struggle. We have no doubt, because there is no liberation, except sexual liberation. That is why those of us here will be those in the struggle for sexual liberation.
The melons we want to spread are very varied. Is the LGBT+ movement falling into identity politics? What is the current relationship between feminism and the sexual liberation movement in the Basque Country? Is it true that the struggle for sexual liberation and/or feminism are sectoral struggles and do not have a real revolutionary force? Which fighting subjects enter transfeminism? Are the hegemonies that originate in the margins and dynamics that they generate liberating? Or are domain logic repeated here too? And exclusionary “feminist” attitudes, what? What if we're all deheterosexualized?
From time to time you will find us in this section with questions like this. Because, friends, we cannot fail to discuss and reflect upon ourselves, but it will not be possible to free ourselves from dominant logics and practices. Until next. A triple hug!

The other day I went to a place I hadn’t visited in a long time and I liked it so much. While I was there, I felt at ease and thought: this is my favorite place. Amulet, amulet, amulet; the word turns and turns on the way home. Curiosity led me to look for it in Elhuyar and it... [+]
