Preocupación por la huelga de hambre de la histórica activista transexual Kim Pérez
El esperado proyecto de ley integral de transexualidad llegará como muy tarde al Parlamento andaluz el próximo 15 de diciembre tras el acuerdo alcanzado entre colectivos trans, Junta de Andalucía y representantes de PSOE e IULV-CA. Un acuerdo forzado por la amenaza de huelga de hambre de representantes de los colectivos, retirada tras el acuerdo. La histórica activista granadina Kim Pérez decidía pese a todo iniciar la huelga, al considerar que hay reivindicaciones fundamentales que no han quedado suficientemente aseguradas. Cuatro días después crece la preocupación por su estado de salud.

The person he wants to be
Samson Learn can’t tuck into his tofu scramble without the ketchup, which, in the midst of a busy Sunday brunch, our server forgot. The stocky blond photographer, who is admittedly a little hungover, looks longingly at the red upside-down bottle sitting just out of reach behind the counter of the Good Food Emporium. The girl behind the counter is concentrating on something tasty at the bottom of a hotpot. His lips tighten. Eager to continue our conversation and sitting closer to the counter, I ask the awkward question, taking her away from the hotpot’s contents to retrieve Sam’s ketchup. He is grateful, and squirts a healthy dose on his plate.
