Small towns, many opportunities
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.

Surely, most of us have already bought, here and there, the gifts for Christmas. Because the night visit to Olentzero is a great quote, especially for the youngest. Everyone is preparing for this fruitful era of the year: Bilbao burns as much as Vitoria, Pamplona and Baiona,... [+]
What surprised you the most when you left jail? I've been asked many times in the last year and a half.
See that the streets of Bilbao are full of tourists and dogs with two legs, for example? Or the changes in the political situation? The first one has tired me and annoyed me... [+]
The issue of aid for Basque learning is really confusing. The citizen who wants to learn Basque must go to more than one window to know how much the course he wants to take and where, how and when he will get the grants. Because it still costs money to study, nothing is free... [+]
The understanding and interpretation of the mathematical language is what is important in the learning process, at least it is what we say to our students. The language of mathematics is universal, and in general, the margin of error for interpretation tends to be small. We... [+]
In the meetings we get together of everything, and the meetings characterize us at the moment when everyone has their role, their power (or their lack), their age, their vital moment. But there are always those who calm down. Lete was singing to us that when we were older, we... [+]
Perhaps one of the weaknesses of human beings is the tendency we have to listen to and care for the majority. It has certainly been an important feature of the development of our species and necessary for survival. But with digitalization, that characteristic that we have makes... [+]

You're in the bar, in the bar, asking. At the counter, other people too. It will soon take your turn, but the servant has not asked you what you want, he has saved you and he has taken care of the man who has come behind you. You have a stupid face and you want to draw the... [+]
I'd like to write to this thing that I'm inside. Almost five years have passed since the pandemic, and those of us who were young at the time, although we are still young, have begun to orbit in other spaces. Housing, the project of life, maternity, work, health... the agendas of... [+]
Remember? 90% of Parliament adopted the Education Agreement two centuries ago – forgive me, two years ago. The reaction of the leftist congressmen moved between euphoria and moderate satisfaction. According to the approved document, private institutions would continue to... [+]
Being is doing. This is what the Durango Fair says this year, and it is true, at least in the case of the fair itself and taking into account Euskal Herria. This edition is already the 59th edition of the Azoka, and the fact that each year is celebrated shows that the Durango... [+]
In Bilbao, I worked for five years with groups at risk of exclusion around the digital divide, especially with women. Along the way, I came across machistan violence and many other problems. In a very organic way, I began to relate to myself and to understand the work of the... [+]
