Un paso más en la defensa de la diversidad | Mikele Grande | TEDxYouth@Amposta


when I was three years old my parents

in a night of kings decided to

give me or a dress

the dress of the queen of the giants

from my town

well I’m the little one I loved that

gift I put it whenever I could

until that dress came to me

above the knees

I also liked very much to disguise myself

this photo is taken in about

carnivals my town where my friends

they ended up having to take a table

saddle

but one of my greatest passions the

cinema I love cinema

in fact I am in a chain of

interpretation for a while and

is directed several short films with the

who has won the odd prize

local but hey I did not come here to

talk about cinema

People often say that I am a

pretty positive person

I am smiling I am cheerful also a little

clumsy and very very clueless

but above all else

important is that I am a person

fully happy because I live it

24 hours a day

remembering that I am a person

transsexual because I am a thousand things

Besides being a transsexual, I consider myself

that I have been very lucky and that I am very

happy because I like how I am, I have my

virtues and I have my faults like all

humans but the truth is that

the fact of being transsexual does not

considered as something negative but everything

otherwise

the biggest current debt globalize to you

bat berrio have doha and get alba

alloatti sanz blows nor transsexual to me

I like I liked Cuba, there is a cause and

the lacko cachina

and

this was a fragment of an interview

what they did to me for euskal telebista and

good face that stays the

presenter xavier madariaga a boy

majísimo in which it is usually left to

most people

when I tell him that I am a girl

transsexual and that I’m proud of

be it because in schools in the

houses

now he starts talking and explaining

more homosexuality but barely

talks about transsexuality is talking about

orientation but not identity is

Talk about who I feel

attracted who I like but is not spoken

Who I am

are two very very different things and it is

normal it is usual for adults

often confuse my parents for

example when I was little and they saw

all this kind of behavior in me

they wanted me to be a gay guy

instead of what was really a

girl

In addition, most people

adults tend to believe that children do not

they are trained to understand everything

this kind of concepts

I can say from experience

children do not understand almost infinitely

better than most adults

my sister was only six years old

when my parents decided to tell him

it had made a mistake

assign him sex and that I was not a

boy was a girl she understood

from the first moment always and never

when I say never is never wrong

in treating me in feminine or in calling me

by my new name mikele my parents

However, if it cost them a little bit

more but I guess it ‘s because the

Most adults already have a

backpack of prejudices on their backs and

It is very difficult to remove them

I believe that if we do not teach that this is

one more type of human diversity

then it was something unknown will come the

fear and rejection will come

I remember that at school when

all children did not arrive this time

of having to talk about sexuality

here we are all are

revolutionaries we were taught a

image similar to this one and we were told

On the right is the boy and the

left is the girl for this

affirmation was only taken into account

I saw the genitals and I

this image and he said he did not think what

I feel but I’m not there

have excluded me now I know that as

they are excluding me very many

other people because I’m not a

girl trapped in the body of a boy

I am a girl in my body and if I

I am a girl and nobody but me can

confirm this body does not have to

what is wrong will be that of a

girl moment

[Applause]

that’s why I think it’s impossible

know the identity of a person with

just look at her this person

dressed west naked the only way

to be one hundred percent sure of the

identity of that person is very simple

wondering why there are women who

they have genitalia and there are women who

they have others like there are women who have

more or less beautiful or breasts pretty much

great everything is diversity and the

diversity enriches us as a society

this is what we should learn in

the schools

I must admit that I am afraid of

future

he has hardly ever left my little

village of about 7,000 inhabitants and me

I want to travel I want to study cinema in

Barcelona

I want to make friends around the world

but I ‘m scared I’m afraid to be the one

I am and I am afraid of the reaction of the

people

This is not just me right now

comes to the head to the cndh

a boy of 17 years natural ruby

barcelona that by trying to say only

on the internet to say who it was

he dropped the society he dropped from

the worst possible way

and since there are so many other people

that they do not even dare to speak for

fear of being rejected

I, as I said before, considered that

I was very lucky and that my life has

been very happy thanks to all my surroundings

school institute my parents

and above all also my friends

it’s because of them that I’m here

speaking and for all those people that neither

He even dares to say who he is in

reality and older people to the

Adults

I ask you please understand that

transsexual is simply a label

transgender people are

much more besides being

transsexuals and I’m sure that a

day our society look to the past

shame will be felt by the suffering

we have passed all these young people

and all these people

thank you very much

[Applause]
