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.

Predicting the end of anything has become fashionable. The end of the human being, ideologies, community, authority, philosophy, or democracy. Are they labels full of sensationalism?
Maybe it was Francis Fukuyama who started that final fashion. After the collapse of the Berlin... [+]
Bagira prozesuaren emaitza, Herri bidea bide-orria izan zen. Bide-orri honetan, abertzaleen helburua herriari boterea itzultzea dela aipatzen da, eta boterea itzultzeko, herriari burujabetza maila maximoa emanen dioten instituzioak herriari eskaintzea adierazten da. Zehazten da... [+]

The demands of Basque Country in Osakidetza are abusive. No doubt. We are putting and mobilizing health professionals in this line. Without being against the Basque Country, with little intention to learn and much less to use.

Pello Salaburu placed on social networks that within fifteen years the burden of the immigrant population in Bizkaia would multiply to 22% of the total population, which “actually constitutes the threat of the Basque Country”. Of course, thrown in this way, without further... [+]

The debate about Joe Biden's cognitive impairment lasts about two years. Sometimes he behaved strangely, sometimes didn't get it right or said things that weren't true, like his son had died in Iraq. However, the liberal establishment considered any doubt about its cognitive state... [+]
I read two or three days ago an article about the ranks of Guillem Martínez and I do not know if I understood it well. He said that under his house he has a ice cream store that had nothing to do with him and that, in recent times, he usually has people as soon as he opens, one... [+]
I'm not very clear if, individually, we have enough power to guide our lives, but we do have to keep trying. Although a lot can be done in groups, every day we have a lonely struggle with ourselves to move forward. Most human beings spend their time standing on the one-way stream... [+]
Despite the fact that two centuries have passed, the problem of La Plutónica cannot be allowed to fade in the well of oblivion. In addition to 200 years ago to learn about the history of La Plutónica, we must go back to the other side of the ocean, Montevideo.

The crew is one of the hallmarks of the Basques. Every Basque has a crew or, at least, that is what is expected of a Basque born. It is no less, because we could say that the Group is the social unit of the Basque Country, the atom or basic component of our society. In this... [+]
