«Los padres tienen que entender que no son ellos los que tienen hijos, sino que son los hijos los que tienen padres.»
No respetar la identidad de género o la necesidad de un niño o niña a expresarse con respecto a su identidad es una violación de los derechos de la infancia, así como el artículo 10 de la Constitución sobre el libre desarrollo de la personalidad. A menudo se esgrime que tenemos que impedir que los jóvenes expresen su identidad discordante, por el propio “bien del menor”, que es un argumento para aplicar el castigo o enviar al menor a una terapia reparativa, para que sean “como debe ser”. Esto es terrible, porque estamos mandando un mensaje muy claro de que la persona está enferma, es errónea, está mal y no es querible. Esta respuesta negativa tiene un impacto brutal en su vida y en la relación que construye con su familia y su entorno. El bien del menor supone acompañarle en su crecimiento, ir probando y dejarle expresarse.

The History of Virgin Births
Here there is an article about parthenogenesis, that does´t get the point at all. Virginity does´t implied asexuality for ancient goddesses!(It just implied that they were not having a penis inside their vagina) On the contrary, they conceived through magical and sexual rituals. Somehow like Buddhist tantra.
Yes, they had to be virgin, but this was not «enough», and this virginity could somehow be renewered. They were wise powerful women.
(El tema del coito, que cansino! parece que si no hay coito no hay sexo! las diosas de la antigüedad se preñaban ellas solitas a través de rituales sexuales y mágicos, como en el budismo tántrico)
…Parthenogenesis—from Greek, literally meaning «virgin birth»—is compelling because it disturbs, it inverts so much of what we understand to be natural reproduction. It’s also deeply imbued with a kind of mysticism tied, as the virgin birth is, to origin stories of gods.
When Santa was a woman…
…The Roman writer Tacitus tells us that at midwinter the goddess Nerthus — whose name was synonymous with Mother Earth — rode a “sleigh-like wagon” pulled by oxen. Wherever she went, she spread holiday cheer and peace. “It [was] a time of festive holiday-making in whatever place she deign[ed] to honour.” Along with bringing holiday cheer, wherever Nerthus went, “nobody [went] to war, nobody [took] up arms.” [19]
“Eventually Nerthus was superseded by two goddesses, Freya and Frigg. At midwinter Freya was incarnated as Mother Christmas in rituals all over western Europe, touring the countryside in a wagon, though hers was pulled not by oxen but by cats. Later, her presence was represented by wise women who were possessed by her spirit. [20]”There are loud echoes of Nerthus’ sleigh-like wagon in Santa’s sleigh. Of course the oxen (or cats!) became reindeer, and the sleigh now flies, but one thing remains unchanged in the millennia since Mother Earth was the central figure of Christmas. Wherever Santa goes, he brings holiday celebrations and (at least wishes for) peace on earth.
Helen Knowles portraits of women laboring
…Description:
YouTube Portraits
A suite of seven large-scale screen prints. Each work depicts a still image, taken from a vast library of home-birth videos posted internationally by women on the internet. The images are screen-grab close-ups of women’s faces exhaling and reclining at the moment the baby crowns, as well as wider views of this moment revealing the women’s euphoria in their domestic spaces. The works featured in YouTube Series appropriate and re-present these women’s filmed experiences and connect to a wider international concern with social media as a tool to democratise what can often be tightly controlled and censored experiences. I have created each print by using a pioneering method of exposing the screen with a digital projector. A technique I devised, which relies on an analogue understanding of the photographic process but results in a pixelated image which directly references the technological origin of the source material.
