 Trigger Warning: abuse, rape, suicide, genocide,  homicide, war, abandonment, torture, betrayal, death, kidnapping... and a whole bunch of spoiler.  As you may have been able to tell, i'm a huge SPOP fan (Yes, I'm the one asking for the movie). And i have to say i'm quite amused by this reboot of the 80's serie, because it deals with topics like  trauma, abuse, war crimes,  and other complex topics which 7 years old (youngest ones who can watch the show)  wouldn't get, or analize. In the nlast article, i talked about the show and hope... Hope for  Disabled and LGBT+ People...  Now, hardly, we have to look atn the other side of the coin... IT SHOWS STORIES ABOUT ABUSE, TRAUMA, AND EVEN SUBTLE SUICIDAL/GENOCIDAL/HOMICIDAL TENDENCIES.  Today we'll talk abou the series most complex and changing character, which makes us cry, laugh, and get angry, the one who hides her vulnerability with menacing gestures, who hides fear, and sorrow...  And ...

 Alerta de contenido: ABUSO, VIOLACIÓN, SUICIDIO, GENOCIDIO, HOMICIDIO, GUERRA, ABANDONO, TORTURA, TRAICIÓN, MUERTE, secuestro,... Y UN CHANGO DE SPOILERS. Como ya se habrán dado cuenta, soy MEGAFAN de SPOP (She-Ra y las Princesas del Poder)(Si, soy de esas fans que van por la vida pidiendo la #SheRaMovie, ¿ok?). Y he de decir que este reboot de la serie de los 80's me fascina, ya que lidia con temas como trauma, abuso, crímenes de guerra, entre otros bastante complejos, que, para niños de 7 años (quienes ya pueden empezar a ver el show, según la clasificación de Netflix), pueden ser difíciles de detectar, y mucho más de analizar. En el artículo anterior hablé de la "cara buena" del show: Es esperanzador, sobre todo para la gente Discapacitada y LGBT+... Ahora, por más difícil que pueda ser, debo de hablar de la otra cara de la moneda: NOS MUESTRA HISTORIAS DE ABUSO, DE TRAUMA, E INCLUSO, SUTILMENTE, DE TENDENCIAS SUICIDAS/HOMICIDAS/GENOCIDAS.  Hoy hablaremos de quien yo ...

Era el mes del orgullo. Tenía miedo de celebrar con mis padres, quienes todavía están empezando a cuestionarse lo que saben del amor y las maneras en que este se manifiesta. En línea, me dijeron, "Ve She-Ra y las Princesas del Poder!". No tenía nada que perder. Estaba Entrapta, canónicamente Autista, y, si no me gustaba, todavía debía ponerme al día con Supergirl. Así que lo vi, Y ME FASCINÓ. Había visto la versión anterior con mis padres, ya que tenían los casettes que solía ver cuando me enfermaba de pequeña. Ahora, como mujer, me fascina esta versión. Desde los escenarios hermosos, a la diversidad de cuerpos, etnias y personalidades, pasando por la preciosa lección que Entrapta les enseña a lxs niñxs Discapacitados cuando le dice a Hordak "Tus imperfecciones son hermosas", AMÉ CADA SEGUNDO. Tristemente, la serie terminó... CON UN BESO. CATRADORA ERA CANON, Y ESO ME DIO ESPERANZA. Es posible que, aunque no fuera intención de Noelle, que elle (usa they/them en ingl...

It was pride month. I was afraid of celebrating with my parents, who are just starting to question what they know about love and the various ways it may present itself. Online, they told me "watch  She-Ra and the Princesses of Power". I had nothing to lose. There was Entrapta, canonically Autistic, and, if i din't like it, i still had to catch up with Supergirl.  So I watched it. IT WAS FASCINATING. I had seen the old version with my parents, they had some casettes which i used to watch when i was sick, as a child. Now, as a woman, I'm fascinated by this version. From the beautiful scenaries, to the different personalities, body types and ethnicities, to the precious lesson Entrapta shows Disabled kids when telling Hordak "Your imperfections are beautiful", I LOVED EVERY SECOND. Sadly, the serie ended... WITH A KISS. CATRADORA WAS CANON. AND IT GIVES ME HOPE. It's possible that, even if it wasn't Noelle's intention, she made Adora Autistic too.  ...

Once there was a talent show at my school. Many "friends" asked me to participate. Wondering the talent i could have, i decided to ask them why they were so interested in my partaking. They answered it was "so people could know people like me can overcome their problems". I know what they were referring to. Social media floods us with stories about people "overcoming disability". As if it was a task, in which luck determines the winner. And it does happen like that, but it's not good. Unfortunately, the world is not accesible for many of us, and there are many things that interfere with a Disabled Person's triumph: economy, contacts, geographic zone, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, other disabilities, even PHYSICAL APPEAREANCE INTERFERES. sharing a video about -----, who is ----- and achieved------, is actually a case of someone who IS LUCKY. And i say it as someone who is non-superstitous. Many times, we won't achieve what the person ...

Hay personas que dicen: "Si eres mujer, no puedes ser Autista"... Ya, entonces, ¿Qué ven aquellas personas al verme? ¿Acaso ven a un ser mágico, de otro planeta, o que rayos ven? Yo estoy aquí, viva. En tu misma realidad. Y tengo todo el derecho de estar en ella. La realidad de la humanidad es para la humanidad entera. Yo existo, como mujer, como Autista. Alguna vez se creyó que estas dos identidades no eran combinables. Pero hoy se sabe que si.  Varias personas creen que solo 25% de Autistas son mujeres. NO ES CIERTO. Esto se basa en varios sesgos, desde el obvio sesgo sexista de los doctores que todavía creen en "cerebro masculino" y "cerebro femenino" (bien es cierto que se tienen algunas diferencias en tamaño y conexiones, sin embargo, esto poco tiene que ver con la realidad de ser Autista o no), pasando por el ignorar a la gente Trans y de género No Binario, hasta saber que miles de personas no son diagnosticadas cuando, además de machismo y capacitis...

I've got an ONLY AUTISTICS group. NTS CAN'T ENTER.  Still, daily, there are parents desperate to enter. I've had to reject them. They say "my child/ granchild is Autistic" or "The neighbour has an Autistic kid". They say they want the best for the child.  BUT, WHEN THEY ENTER, WE SEE IT'S NOT LIKE THAT.  *They tell us which symbols and language to use (curiously, they´re the ones the Autistic Community HATES THE MOST) *They say their child (or their known one's) "isn't like us"... Then, THEY START MENTIONING ABOUT THE LITTLE ONE'S BOWEL MOVEMENTS (and they never talk if their puppies have worms)... EVEN WITHOUT KNOWING WHO WE ARE, OR WHICH PROBLEMS WE FACE. THEY JUST SEE OUR ONLINE-FACES. *         THEY CENSOR OUR DIFFERENT OPINIONS, CALLING US NASTY, SASSY AND MEAN. *THEY´RE HOMOPHOBIC, SEXIST, ISLAMOPHOBIC, ABLEIST (of course) OR OTHERWISE BIGOTED.  And most nauseus part... THEY SAY TO BE THEIR CHILDREN'S VOICES. THEY AREN...
