Blake Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Hello everyone, so I started a facebook page to raise awareness of different identities that are not heard about as much. This includes a-spec issues and trans issues, and I want to do it in spanish since there are resources mainly in english and I wanted to help fix that for non-english speakers. I am looking for themes to talk about and since I am doing a schedule to organize myself, I would love feedback of themes/issues or anything that non a-spec people or people outside the trans umbrella should know to be a better ally (if that would be possible). Let me know in this thread and I will note it down and include it in the calendar. I will be looking for information in the internet, but who better to know that actual people who experience these issues? So yeah, hopefully the page will serve as a resource for people. The name in case anyone wants to follow it is "Como ser un buen aliade" (How to be a good ally) and ally is in gender neutral form in spanish. Thank! in advance :3 In case anyone wants to dm me here to suggest a theme or anything, go right ahead. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arsenic Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Hi! So, to start, you could talk about what it is to be trans, what does it mean to be non-binary, talking about intersexuality and dysphoria, some tips to pass (for trans people, obv), posts about neopronouns and how do we use them... And, other thing, in the phrase "cómo ser un buen aliade", the correct way of typing it is "cómo ser une buene aliade", since the adjectives and the determinants in spanish also have gender. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted December 9, 2021 Author Share Posted December 9, 2021 Thanks, I chose to not gender the adjectives and determinants as to not overwhelm people and do it more "friendly" and "digestible". Didn't want to scare people and give bad perspective only by reading the name. However, I will consider changing it later (when I have some people xD cuz i am starting) if I am met with positivity (one can only wish in fb).

Pyr Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Talking about amatonomativity (what it means, examples, etc.) , other aspec labels (grey- demi- lithro- apath- and a whole lot more), and fluidity between both gender and orientation could be good things to mention. You also may want to explain queerplatonic relationships. I know pretty much nothing about Spanish, but I'm wondering something- because spanish has feminine and masculine words, what do people do when referencing non-binary people? /gen Best of luck with this! Hope this is helpful! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The feminine words end up in -a, masculine words end up in -o, so for non binary people we use the termination -e. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
such Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 You could include the split attraction model and different kinds of attraction? I feel like that's something that allos could relate to but may have never really thought about before. Also how attraction does not equal action, and who you have sex/relationships with does not invalidate your identity! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roboticanary Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 You already had someone mention discussing amatonormativity. Could add to that an intro to singlism as a similar point. Could talk about the idea of romance repulsion/ romance favourable and the differences in how aros view romance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alto Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 You can talk about what dating is like as an aro, prejudice we face, and stuff like that. You could also talk about prejudice ace people face, in the dating realm and outside of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted December 12, 2021 Author Share Posted December 12, 2021 Ty for this. I am making the posts in advance just in case cuz i am bad at keeping schedules. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roboticanary Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Another thing to add would be a brief overview of what organisations are already around. So for example what are the main movements already going who are pushing for trans rights. Also what good options are there to direct people to if they are trans or know someone who might be, e.g. anonymous helplines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First I was researching those organizations and if there would be help in spanish. I will give it for english for sure, but if I could add spanish and know that I can help more people, it would mean more for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a great idea. There must be some spanish organisations, certainly for trans issues, which would be really helpful for people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
