Today May 17 met 19 years since the World Health Organization removed homosexuality from its list of psychiatric illness, why is celebrated International Day Against Homophobia. Can not say the same of transsexuality, which remains in the International Classification of Diseases, which has not exactly help the fight against social transphobia, reinforcing the pathological condition of trans people.
The right to life and physical integrity of transgender and intersex people continues today, largely absent in practice, especially when it comes to women sex workers.
So far this year, murders of transgender people occur in many places: in Turkey, Republic Dominican Republic, Honduras ... It's like a drip flashing, the chronicle of what will happen.
violence is implicit in the structure of most modern societies, closely connected with machismo, with the values \u200b\u200bestablished and maintained from the spaces of power.
Neither the English State is an exception, as the recent cases show, the brutal attack on Paloma, a sex worker in the Circle of Guadalhorce (Málaga). While driving his car was stoned and consequently had an accident which resulted in a severe coma in which takes several months.
Another sad case is the murder of Cristina, transsexual Moroccan sex worker, committed in Valencia on 22 March. He was beaten and then burned. It has been almost two months and still is not clear this cruel event. If Craig had not been a sex worker, migrant women and transsexual, would be equal? We want to know and demand a prompt clarification.
addition to these murders, there are countless assaults, harassment and daily humiliations that trans people suffer, both in the workplace and health and social level.
We will not remain with folded arms! The undersigned organizations will continue to work for social transphobia go down in history as well as institutional transphobia by what we reject as transphobic, those elements of the Law on Gender Identity to consider transsexualism as a disease and those that require us to hormones over a period of time involved, for most of us; to infertility and therefore the loss of our reproductive rights.
Also, the limited rights provided by this law are banned to minors or migrants, reinforcing its exclusionary nature.
We also want to forget the attacks also continue to suffer queers, lesbians, gays and bisexuals. Some are physical attacks directly, others are part of the widespread violence that patriarchal heterosexism exercised from the same within this society.
May 17 This followed on the way to eradicate the LGBT-phobia, no room for complacency, not tolerate attempts by this government to market with our rights. Organizations
