Companions, after each pandemic and catastrophe it has always been used to produce a setback in social progress. I think this is the time for us to be inclusive as we have never been before, and to influence the fact that heteropatriarchy and binary sex-gender does not only affect the LGTBI + community, but everyone in general, since it also limits the affective sex development of people who consider themselves straight.
I would ask, if this time is possible, that we be able to generate empathy, and only if we are all affected by the system to some extent, will we succeed.
Hopefully we are able to see beyond our short-term interests and we are able to generate the synergies we need.
I would like to enjoy it, please.
