Planes de Estudio para travestis

La escuela es el punto ciego de un círculo muy vicioso que deja atrapadas a las personas travestis y transexuales: porque no estudiaron, no pueden tener una vocación, no pueden trabajar de nada que no sea prostituirse. Porque somos lo que somos o lo que seremos, no podemos asistir a la escuela sin riesgo de agresión, burla, humillaciones, fracaso. Un niño que da señales de su transexualidad es repelido del aula por maestros y maestras, directores, padres y compañeros. Paradójicamente, una alta dosis de ignorancia hace que los responsables de “dar cátedra” sean los mismos que perpetúan esta injusticia. La sociedad biempensante acuerda con lo dicho anteriormente y tal vez haya llegado la hora de que una sociedad actuante comience a cambiar las cosas.
