The poster includes an illustration by the artist Lara Homes. The trans women who appear in the center of the image are the protagonists of the photo made famous by the photographer Colita during the first demonstration in defense of sexual freedom that took place in Spain, specifically in Barcelona in 1977. Among them, there are also find Sylvia Rivera Y Marsha P. Johnson, trans rights activists who rose to fame after participating in the Stonewall riots.
Irene Montero has also spread this poster on social networks. The same have been done by other senior officials in his ministry such as the general director of Sexual Diversity and LGTBI Rights, Boti Garcia. Always activism. Pride always, “Garcia wrote on social media.
«Guarantee the rights of all»
“Todes” is a word that does not exist in the Spanish language, but Irene Montero began using it months ago to defend binary people. “We must guarantee the rights of everyone, everyone and everyone in our country”, said Irene Montero during an act of Podemos on the occasion of the Madrid elections on May 4.
However, the same Montero recognized a few weeks later that the term “todes” ridicules people who do not feel like a man or a woman. It was during an event organized by his training and in which he denounced the criticism he receives when he uses this wrong word. “Sometimes it involves me a bit of debate, a completely distorted debate that is used from the ridicule, from the questioning … Never from the honest question, from the interest in knowing … But I think it is an obligation while I am Minister of Equality” , he claimed.
«Because it is no longer a question of analyzing language. I have been a super studious and super nerd girl, who worried me about knowing all the rules of our language. But it is a matter of recognizing the reality of many people who exist in our country and in the world who do not feel recognized in one gender or the other. They demand to be named and rightly so, “added the minister.
