for

goodbye and thanks to this maybe the dish the

career I had the one of day gatu day out the

kangoo to muse and katy god and de sant

vicent of lula

very good night thank you for being here

tonight listening to men the

Women and girls receive a greeting

from the heroic city of juchitán de

zaragoza oaxaca mexico is in

the south of mexico has 120 thousand

inhabitants of which 80 per

hundred

we speak our mother tongue which is the

Zapotec I am a muse for some museums

the fear in the coward that for others

is the one that was most logically male

but that generically lives as a woman

for me it is the duality in the mind

male the spirit and strength

feminine in juchitán

we do not have to prepare our

parents to tell him that I’m mus because

since we took our first steps

the aunts the cousins the friends already know

what we are is a discovery

collective

tells the story that one day San Pedro

was to leave the seeds of life in

everybody in a semi in a one

costal wore the seed of men

in another sack

the seed of women and in another

costal the mus seeds by distributing a

little in each place but that arriving

fit him break a sack and was the

host

of the mus seeds for this the people

think that I like there are more women than

not catch but it’s not true

in juchitán there is like in the whole world

only that we are more visible

we have more freedom to dress

walk the streets as we want

there is more acceptance more tolerance

compared to other nearby towns

but neither is the country

there is also discrimination

as long as ignorance exists in

any corner of the world there will be

discrimination starting many times

from home with parents who

they want to inculcate us on the right path

according to them this is not for you

you can not play with this you are a boy not

you are a girl but at the end of the story

they end up accepting this condition because

because men women get married

they leave and we who we

we are to take care of them until the

last day of his life filiberto account

muse of 80 years that one that all

days his father beat him for being us

sinking a neighbor tells you why you leave

to hit your son

should give thanks to God who is

muse because he is the one who is going to have

until the last day when they can no longer

fend for himself

indeed the mother of filiberto

dies and he is in charge of bathing

to his father until the last moment but

why in such a distant place as

section there is so much tolerance to be

muse in juchitán is synonymous with work

no debauchery

I believe that there comes the acceptance

besides that puig and tan is a place

where the woman has a very presence

strong are female wrestlers that is not

so hopeful on the ground

the husband has a trade up to two or

three to contribute to the home the buses

we are born with this where the trade from

small we already contribute economically to

home for pleasure not by obligation

the bunk women clothe us and

we work shoulder to shoulder quotes the

market is a space dominated by

for women as the canteens are

spaces dominated by men

but in those two spaces the girls

we enter with the hand in the waist

juchitán as in other parts there are

customs and traditions

the stewardship a baptism burial in

all the moments

we show our solidarity and

Our union

something that has already been lost in the

big cities

many times we do not even know the neighbor

in front

much less those who live in a

apple celebrated that my community

Zapotec there is still solidarity

in a constant way a greater

Ergonomics is a social commitment

dedicated to a saint or an office and the

butlers have a whole year to

prepare the party consisting of three

stages the first is the change of

address of the saint of the mayordomos

incoming to the outgoing butler

then there is a party called

carved sphere consisting of the

elaboration of the Syrians for the mass and

the route

the last stage is the strongest where

there is a huge expense because there are several

days

of work and of rice ground party

throw fruits the candles that are parties

night where everyone knows

show off their best finery

Later, the mass and a

party in the day

then the washing of pots instead of

warm the important thing of this is that to

through the active holidays to activate

the local economy for all expenses

that we do the stewardship in a year

will send maybe three suits with

the artisans hire the music

the cook the music stylist and the

debacle for that night but something else

important also is that through

these customs and traditions

we keep the brotherhood alive the union and

the Solidarity

If we all look at how

that we are really human beings without

selfishness and reservations or labels

I think that day we would start to see

see what that light comes out in this tunnel so

Dark

that day we would begin to live fully

because in the eyes of God

we are all equal no one is more than

no one

– unfortunately nowadays

juchitán is going through for a moment

very difficult accepted with two earthquakes

today we live among rubble and

dust

we need help is very sad the

situation but trusting their women

and his men

of course we will rise up

I invite you to take a look at the

south because that’s also Mexico that the

God ‘s peace be with all of each

the laws for
