I feel so divine at least a moment
because it ‘s perfect right now
also celebrated months ago is your area more
big here but let me just a moment
good afternoon my name is victory
heroin victoria elizabeth hernandez is
a good name joseph art I put it on my
Grandma, I’m one of those ladies who carry
your own tests in the bag
when when he arrives to introduce me
I like to say that different things
I am an activist, I am a student
right of the university
Latin American science and technology
there is my group
I am a daughter I am a sister, I am a cousin or a niece
Single and without children thank God I have
23 years
also Díaz Pérez that life does not make you
treats bad truth
I am also a transsexual woman said
Finally, in being a transsexual woman
of surprise I see finally if we give
being transsexual because there is an environment
it is already there something so negative is generated
when we say transsexual and
we immediately started eating
we think about drug addiction prostitution
people who have no education we think
a lot of negative things and the most
common of all today I went in all
they thought it true
but today they should not talk specifically
about being a trans person in reality
we are very few in the world but what
comes to talk is about struggles and
intersectoral struggles that are
inclusive one of the most labels
important ones that fill me the most
be an activist
through more understood activity the
importance of generating struggles that
encompass not only what happens to me that
do not deal with discrimination because of
that I passed but speak from the
strength that many people can
get to identify with what I
passed and will be provided with showers that these
You take a few years ago I was
unemployed and like good millennial that
I am willing to the first place that today
It is a call center clearly
I get to the call center a place of those
that come first in the spot
true diversity that we arrive
we are inclusive in the chest accent the
trombone
it arrived I do the interview I pass it all
came to the interview with the head of
recruitment is a gentleman then
pay because I think there is a
importance confess here because you
start talking about the importance and
the achievements that he has made for the
gay population within the company does not
I chose gay and when I arrived I said that
I’m trans and I take care that my coffee
say victory and not my name
birth itself we can not help you
then my request and the part of all
the others that was a literal no we
call us we call it because I do not
I received the call today I am
waiting for me to call
for said there are other companies that are more
inclusive for example amazon that are
the sponsors with the first
company that hired me the pedal
applause transition
but this violence that I lived made me
understand that I would not see it only I would
good black people indigenous people
women in general people with
collective disability
the heavy violence in general in
general and when we manage to understand that
this is happening let’s say connect
to other people’s struggles
that is, one discriminated by
gender entity generates a lot of confusion
then make your identity and comment
I understand how I got that I is
affecting the identity of the appropriation
of what I am the pressure of my life
from my roots
is that I arrive and I say that is what I am
goes beyond the labels
part of my identity is miscegenation
Spanish French and Afro is this mix
conceived and Liberian that I have in the
blood
is part of the family that has raised me
if you ask who are they going
to say beyond his name his
academic degree profession or label yo
I am my mother’s daughter who is here
present I am the daughter of my stepmother of
my grandmothers I’m raising my cousins ​​of
my aunts of which I consider my
sisters I am a product of women
forts that raised families by themselves
alone
and what is the genre that dreaded monster
who has been doing so much lately
war and gender ideology arrive and
they attack they say that a transvestite because
a proper ethic this says can not
walk to the street from here woman who
one arrives and wants hypersexualized the
children that is that the genre is a
social cultural economic construct
religious politician specifically
religious
it is important to understand where we come from
and who we are because as women and
as men we live our lives
completely different and between this
diversity we’re also going to virtual already
more different because it’s not the same to be
poor Muslim woman and living in
war zones that we have people
middle-high class
Christian and living in the case
This is like another country in Costa Rica
sometimes when one walks down the street and
he stumbles alone and another man stumbles one
it becomes religious, it starts and falls
all the many of these three maries
etc chivas please do not dawn
violated and murdered a coffee plantation but for
He is seen a little easier because
the fear they have is that they are not going to
skip
when I transition and I realize
what it was like to live
practically in costa rica when
I walked the streets I fought for
serve when I was with a woman that did not
I will encourage
I learned what it was that the moment that I
It would be the house I played the breasts
Buttocks that pull my hand off my skirt and
that me new surprises
but he made me understand that violence
that I was living myself was
participate I contributed to that violence
I arrived and distributed to other women
for whatever it was but he did it
and then this is something that comes to me
another point I have to admit that I am
a macho and homophobic person and
transphobic is the racist
because of all the labels and I have to
learn to accept them because if I do not
I question that if I do not say I’m
doing wrong we only denounce
victimize me I will not achieve anything
activism has taken me to places
incredible to recognize things that are not
I knew at this time I am part of the
foundation equal my love I love you
thanks for coming
he is my boss
that was the second trans woman in
work for the wave in costa rica
I’m part of the squad Wind
worldwide singers groups
and that’s where all my equipment is.
home
these rings are very big people
I’ve been to so many parts of the country I hate
sarapiquí and do if you start puntarenas
and the stores to give trainings in
schools to give this message this very
message that they will go to you
you and I are not so different the
activism is not always getting there and how bad
tires blocked the street
it’s part of the process but it does not start
from there the activism starts from the
silence from the time when each
one of you begins to question what
is what is oppressing them but that
what you are doing that oppresses
to someone more than what is
affecting this country from that
precise moment and that instant
we started to generate a change in the
society we stop doing it from sight
fat we stop blaming the government for
everything that is happening in the country and
we become aware
it is at that moment that we realize
the importance of what led struggles
intersectoral struggles that are not only
for me but for all the people who
connect
because maybe if all the people
if we did this we would have avoided
so many lemon women would have had
than traveling to San Jose to get a
mammography because the hospital is not
have the medical team we would have
avoided maybe the 10 homicides that
we have in the year
maybe there was more avoiding that
island students horses and teacher
for three months they will be without classes
for three months because someone does not want
go there
maybe the representation that we would have
from nicaragua in costa rica in this
At the moment, it would not only be the chota and
jokes that we make of the agent
Nicaraguan
we would realize that what is coming
happening three days ago with the deaths
of so many students is not something that
started three days ago is what it takes
decades
It is important to recognize that we
we bring violence to recognize that
we are trans I go with machistas that we are
people like phobic that we’re going to
print a xenophobic racist not
we can say that costa rica is the country
purest in the world if we do not recognize that
we are violent people the message that
I want to give them today is question their
privileges the opportunities that they have
because from this space
we are going to generate an inclusive society
respectful
this is not just about me because the
biggest gift that activism supports me
is that a person comes and thanks me and
he says thank you being mitsubishi of
times that I had the strength to continue
struggling
not only for my life but for those of the
other people people this is about
intersectoral struggles very many
Thank you
[Applause]
