About yesterday...
Yes, I prefer to make my comments the next day because that way I can be a little (very little) less emotional.
But yesterday we had the Diálogos Trans event, proposed by @comissaodtohomoafetivogenoabsc and held with the blessing of @oabsantacatarina in the plenary hall of its headquarters.
The goal was for recognized trans figures to share their lived experiences within a society that still segregates us both out of prejudice and a lack of understanding.
What strikes me most when this exchange of ideas occurs is realizing how plural and unique our experiences are.
The existence of these spaces is of utmost importance, especially in a democracy. A just society is a diverse society. And when we talk about diversity, we are not just talking about gender identity and sexual orientation; we are also talking about neurodivergences, body shapes, disabilities, religions, skin tones—in short, this myriad of unique people who make up our people.
I want to thank my fellow panelists @selma.light, @lirouskyo, @teodorobergmann.adv, Lino Gabriel, and especially @hubertpsi, the creator of AmbulaTrans de São José, which, as I like to mention, was the first place where I was welcomed as myself.
I also thank the wonderful @margarethhernandes for the invitation and for organizing the event.
Thank you. It was wonderful. I can't wait for the next one.
