Basta de criminalizar a las Trans y Travestis en La Plata (Argentina)
Militantes de la comunidad LGTTTBIQP de la ciudad se manifestaron el viernes 30 a las 10 de la mañana frente a la sede de las fiscalías platenses en 7 entre 56 y 57 para pedir la libertad de las chicas trans travestis presas por tenencia de marihuana y exigir el cese de su persecución y criminalización. El próximo lunes habrá una nueva movilización.
En mi pecho estas marcas me recuerdan que alguna vez las tetas me chuparon, placer que se ha convertido en cicatrices lamidas y manoseadas; placer de dar vuelta el mundo con estas inyecciones de piel más gruesa, esta voz sensiblemente grave y la selva de mi abdomen deshilachándose: porque, amigos míos, siempre el género estuvo descocido.

Mauro Cabral is a trans man, trans activist, educator and social theorist. Cabral’s academic research focuses on the social theory underlying debates about sex change and intersex issues. He has taught at the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba and has been a member of IGLHRC´s International Advisory Council since 1999. He is also a member of the International Advisory Committee for CLAGS (Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies, City University of New York), as well as an activist with RedTrans and the Working Group on Intersexuality. An author and translator of essays on trans and intersex issues, he lives in Córdoba, Argentina.
Mauro became the co-director of GATE – Global Action for Trans* Equality in January 2010. He has been involved with trans and intersex activism since 1995. From 2005 to 2007 he was in charge of coordinating the Trans and Intersex Area at IGLHRC Latin American Office. The following three years he worked at Mulabi – Latin American Space for Sexualities and Rights, starting as its Watchdogs Officer and occupying the Executive Director position during 2009.
During the last fifteen years most of Mauro’s work has been focused on lobbying, training and writing. Since 2004 he has regularly participated in political initiatives at the UN and in 2006 he was part of the expert’s group that elaborated the Yogyakarta Principles. In 2009 he compiled the book “Interdicciones. Escrituras de la intersexualidad en castellano”. This year he will finish his dissertation on juridical aspects of transsexuality and intersexuality within Argentinian Law.
El Bachillerato Popular Trans “Mocha Celis” es un espacio educativo especialmente dirigido, de manera inclusiva, a personas travestis, transexuales, transgéneros, mujeres y varones trans, que garantiza a sus estudiantes el acceso a una educación libre de discriminación por orientación erótico-afectiva e identidad o expresión de género.
La iniciativa surge de una constatación: hoy en día las personas travestis, transexuales, transgéneros, mujeres y varones trans se encuentran en una situación de marginación extrema. De acuerdo a los pocos estudios disponibles, en general, la identidad de género femenina se asume entre los 8 y los 13 años de edad, y produce, las más de las veces, la exclusión de la familia de origen. Sin vivienda ni apoyo y contención del grupo primario de vinculación afectiva, se hace cuasi imposible sostener la escolaridad. La marginalización empuja al ejercicio de la prostitución como único medio de sustento económico, y esta situación da origen a una mayor marginación social, a abusos por parte de la policía, a enfermedades de transmisión sexual y adicciones, que se traducen en detrimento de la calidad de vida.
Cabe recordar que, en la República Argentina, rige la obligatoriedad de la educación secundaria para todas las personas del territorio nacional, desde la nefasta reforma educativa del año 1993, pero reformulada en clave de derechos ciudadanos a través de la Ley Nacional de Educación 26.206 del año 2006. Sin embargo, también al interior de las escuelas, el derecho del colectivo trans* de completar sus estudios para acceder a trabajos gratificantes y desarrollarse personal y socialmente se ve sistemáticamente vulnerado, obstaculizado o, lisa y llanamente, negado como consecuencia de la estigmatización, patologización y criminalización de quienes no se identifican con el “sexo” que le asignaron al nacer.
Este Bachillerato pretende ofrecer una respuesta a este círculo de violencias desde la educación popular, rescatando los saberes propios del colectivo trans* y canalizándolos en el armado de proyectos cooperativos. A su vez el título que entregará (Perito/a en el Desarrollo de las Comunidades) permite continuar estudiando en cualquier Universidad o Instituto Superior, tanto público como privado.
El equipo docente y no docente está conformando por activistas, trabajador*s y profesionales relacionad*s a las cuestiones de género, los feminismos, los derechos humanos y la educación popular.
A question I received and responded to in private. Making this rebloggable so that folks can see what my response is but more importantly for trans* Latin@s to share the resources they find useful.
hi! yes there are some publications that may be useful. PFLAG has two in Spanish that may be useful one called Si Tu Mismo (link opens to PDF) and Nuestros hijas y hijos preguntas y respuestas para padres de gays, lesbianas, y bisexuales (although only focusing on LGB the language may be useful) and Welcoming our trans family is also a resource but in english.
The Trevor Project has an online chat and one is MONDAY today which may be useful
TransYouth Family Allies (TYFA) have resources in Spanish that may be useful. One on vocabulary, FAQ, and counseling.
The Sylvia Rivera Law Project website is in Spanish.
REDLACTRANS (Latin American and Caribbean Transgender Network) has information by country of origin.

Portrait of Sylvia Rivera (1951-2002) posing in front of her altar to Marsha P. Johnson (1944-1992), by Valerie Shaff, ca. 2000
In the early 1970’s Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P. Johnson co-founded S.T.A.R., Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries, an organization designed to achieve rights for her community, and provide social services to this largely ignored and stigmatized group. For a short while she and Marsha P. Johnson ran S.T.A.R. House which provided shelter for homeless young street queens. Lack of funds and problems with the certificate of occupancy for S.T.A.R. House, forced the abandonment of the venture at that time, but Rivera never lost the dream of creating a supportive and safe living space for young transgender people.
Rivera was greatly disillusioned with the desire of many early gay and lesbian activists to distance the gay movement from transvestites, drag queens, and other gender variant people, in spite of the fact that these people were often the “shock troops” for the entire gay community.
The Sylvia Rivera Law Project notes,
A veteran of the 1969 Stonewall uprising, Sylvia was a tireless advocate for all those who have been marginalized as the “gay rights” movement has mainstreamed. Sylvia fought hard against the exclusion of transgender people from the Sexual Orientation Non-Discrimination Act in New York, and was a loud and persistent voice for the rights of people of color and low-income queers and trans people.
