ah
i
Have you ever wondered how many
people are born per day in the world
someone knows
in the world it is born in around 300,000
new baby lives that will surely be
great great medical artists
psychologists doctors master managers
and surely great leaders of the
planet
in the fifth month of pregnancy
they already have an assigned sex
including a name
what many do not know or what many
of you do not know is that a percentage
of those babies are not going to feel
identified with the sex assigned to
be born
this baby who was born healthy beautiful
all babies are born beautiful but this
baby is the most beautiful baby in the world
this baby who was born on February 23,
1976 weighing 3 kilos 500 grams has
happened at 6 pm
was born into a common family like
any other family
but this baby did not feel identified
with sex at some point
they assigned a birth when he was born
he did not feel identified with this sex
Of course nobody knew why because
As he grew older and as
he was building his life his identity
it was learned that this child
it was not a boy this boy was a girl
that he had always felt his expression
of gender as a girl
and this girl is me
[Applause]
count have the original peoples
in latin america they accepted
generally five genres
one of the genders were women
transsexuals and transsexual males
at that time they were called women two
12 foot men or spirits
after the looting in latin america and
the torture we suffer throughout america
with the inquisition of the church these
issues of transsexuality are
they got under the carpet
and what happened when the moment
They start dating again you are
stories
this is returning to my dads my
daddies they could me
they could help me with the tools
they had as they had at that time
with the tools they had them
out there they did not know what this was about
question of transsexuality then
with these tools and the little
information that they had that is not the
same information that today have
parents, grandparents, family and uncles
that information that you can not follow and
look for it and see what happens with
our children my parents gave me everything
Of course today I love them
they are with me and they call me
but at that time they could not
accompany me then I felt all the
abandonment and pain there was where I
I had to go from my house more or less to the
12 or 13 years and look for my course look for me
destination and leave without knowing where I was going
and in that interim of life I went
knowing the pain the loneliness the
exclusion the ugly things that can
pass to a teenager a child of 12
Imagine you imagine
12 years old alone for life on the street
at that time today I have 42 I tell it
and I say no problem 42 years and
I was 12 13 meters from my house
tools then it was happening the
I was building myself as a woman
I was meeting activists that knowing
trans sisters trans sisters because
at that time the only family that
we had what I had in that
moment was another trans-partner who
had passed the same other companion who
the dads had not been able to understand and
that they had not been able to accompany them
accompany them in the transit of life and
in this construction that we are doing
from childhood in adolescence and in
the sweet is then when we were
all together and committed knowing
that we were missing
in argentina we were missing something in
argentina that was a law a law that
he sheltered us or something that covered us and
something that will save us that will save us
life to all trans people
That’s where I know a dear
partner that is no longer and I want
dedicate this moment to her there comes
a phrase that is barbarous
She is Claudia Pía Baudracco
let the next claudia pía
baudracco a compañera that I fight that is
militant who was militant by law
of gender identity a partner
who said if I would be born trans if
would be born again would be born trans
because if I’m happy I claim this
phrase of my companion claudia pía
baudracco founder of the association ata
and I copy it and I take it to myself and
I say if he would ever be born
they could do trans because if I’m happy
and so we were building this law
yes
I installed in Argentina 6 years ago
the law 26 7 43 the identity law of
gender this law that returns us the
rights to all and all because
we needed a law we needed a
law that could take care of us and that we
give back these rights these great
rights that allow us today
have an identity and also we
It allows
get other rights like housing
health education that is so
important to all and many of
our compañeras and compañeros
They began to finish their studies do
recently with 40 years also
tell them that the life expectancy of
all trans people is from 35 to 40
years
I am 42 and today I consider myself a
older adult in a population today a
older adult
we do not have cannabis grandmothers with women
trans from before because they die it
they die on the road and they die because
we never had the accompaniment to this
if it were to be born again it would be trans
because if I’m happy and the joke of the
rights because these rights also
They make us
and we can think and we can go to
go ahead and we can have dreams and
expectations with the following
slide that I want to present to my
wife
the strike orchestra
[Applause]
[Music]
I return it because it is also a male
trans and in my life partner
It moves me because together we could live
the law of gender
[Applause]
this law that gave us back the rights to
all and all my colleagues and
companions
this law that caused the
Argentina to return what the state
maybe he had taken us off and actually
with my partner a website that also
is and what are we going to do in some
moment because it is what we want
and we’re going to do daddy if we want to be
responsible dads we want to be parents
that can accompany the childhood that is what
that we are looking for a free childhood free of
discrimination that parents can
accompany and they can understand to
our trans women who are going to
born to be able to change the quality of
life that all the compañeras have and
companions
today, today I am standing
here because I come to ask everyone
you that all those who look for
internet and then when the video is
distribute
and we pay attention to our children
and that if our children show us
that do not feel identified with the
gender the acid at birth or with sex
assigned that we can listen to them and
listen to them so we can understand what
is what is happening with our
children because if it does not happen what you
it happens to all my other partners that
today we see on the street because they did not have
opportunities because they were excluded
because we were destroyed and we have to
fight and get to make a law a law
of labor quota trans a law so that
can respect us and have a
document to four much but here
we are and we will continue fighting what
I come to ask is that we accompany a
free childhood without violence and
discrimination thank you very much
