Nunca más!

I don't think that saying "I'm ashamed" when in face of cruelty, or what is called inhuman treatments, guilty is not the most important sense of the word shame.

It is the word that was chosen, I don't know when, to express the perplexity and bewilderment that some events cause. The expressions

"crying shame": Fig. a very unfortunate situation. and

"What a shame!" Fig. an expression of consolation meaning That's too bad." "What a pity!" has the sense of "It's to sad." to the word "shame".

It is not a question of blaming ourselves, not a moral issue.

But for those who don't like seeing horror spectacles, or have pleasure in seeing misery, the felling "what could I have done to prevent it?" can be hidden somewhere. No. Not guilty or helpless will take over and this is not a good combination.

The best to do is to turn this bad conscience into action. Nunca más**!

Transgenders awareness campaign: talking to a transgender woman

Please, I hope you read it because you will not find any campaign at the mainstream media about the hermaphrodite, transgender is the right word, and there are lots of people needing you to understand them.

If you want you skip and go straight to the talking to Cynthia that is the most important and you will understand the problem.

"Transgenders are murdered, many commit suicide, they are given medicines in a trial and error roulette that destroy their healthy, many can't get a job because of prejudice...

You have no idea how these people suffer.

I'll publish a chat I had with a very nice woman who is a transgender today.

It is heartbreaking and you cannot help feeling angry.

A campaign about them have to be done but WHO and no other institution will do it.

It's up to us, citizens, to make our best.

Many people think they are rare. No. They stay home because of stigma and some bad health due to medical treatments that made them get worse."
