Manifesto Despathologization Network for the State IdentidadesTrans English
October 23, 2010
We resisting!
A year giving arguments to defend our freedom, seeking alternatives, building bridges for dialogue. However, the terrible medical and political machinery is, stigmatization of trans people continues. As if considering our gender identity as something pathological help us, as if our mental health really matters.
The gender identity disorder does not exist. Instead, there is transphobia.
study us, touch us explain what happens to us, we make thousands of tests to find the cause of our terrible disease, we analyzed, hit us, we are raped. They treat us like children and kill us like dogs. By day and by night they hate us we buy.
But they can not with us; still here, breaking the silence and resist violence, the beatings and the words, with rage and pedagogy, weaving a net to keep us afloat. We are here!
of pathologizing discourse has collapsed, we have shot down based on these therapies report every year. There are no valid excuses. There are ideas that can no longer defend themselves.
trans activists around the world, from different continents and cities, we again take to the streets to demand the trans depathologization under the slogan "trans identities are not a disease." We denounce that even today, in the XXI century, trans identities, transsexual, transgender, transvestites are still present as "gender incongruity" or "disorder transvestism" in the recently published draft of DSM-5. We demand the discontinuation of gender identity disorders catalogs of Diseases (DSM and ICD) and fight for the right to decide independently on our own bodies.
depathologization recall that can not imply in any way that trans people lose their health rights. We demand a trans-specific health care public cover.
The right to gender identity and public health coverage of trans people are fundamental human rights and should not be exclusive. Claim the right to legal recognition of the chosen name and gender without the diagnosis and / or medical treatment, hormonal or surgical treatment. No one can decide on the gender identity of another person.
Our demands are clear:
1. Withdrawal of TIG international diagnostic manuals (DSM-future releases V and ICD-11).
2. The abolition of the binary standard treatment for intersex people.
3. Free access to treatments hormone and surgery (without psychiatric supervision.)
4. Public health coverage for gender reassignment process.
5. The fight against transphobia: the work for educational training and social integration and employment of trans people and the visibility and denouncing all forms of social or institutional transphobia.
Statewide, demand the government to take our demands, which has the participation of different groups and trans activists taking into account its plurality and stop making some strange cosmetic maneuver to save face. Last June, the Minister for Equality said publicly that can not be tolerated that is still considered to trans people as sick people. Paradoxically, the Government has not taken any steps to amend the current Law 3 / 2007, commonly known as "Gender Identity", that we still pathologizing.
also demand the withdrawal of the reference to gender in official documents public. It is a fact obsolete, and its presence is not justified in any way an identity, apart from being an obstacle in the daily lives of many trans people.
Finally, we ask the Government to abandon its role colonizer who supervises the LGBT policies in Latin America. From Western countries are still exporting the violent and pathologizing medical discourses, increasing the risk of transphobic violence and threatening identities and gender expression different in different parts of the world.
Our names, our bodies, our lives are just ours.
will continue to resist!
