US President Donald Trump has denied the existence of trans, non-binary and intersex people. Why? Just because. How would he react if one of his sons or daughters were gay, I wonder. Would he lock him/her up in a dark cellar? It goes without saying that his brand-new administration will not promote inclusive working places. On the contrary: it will probably shut them down. Such a regression is unacceptable, isn’t it? This is the 21st century, not the Middle Ages. We’ve all noticed that Javier MIlei, our President, looks up to Trump and is more than willing to “borrow” his ideas and mirror him. Copycat? Let’s hope not. A week ago, there was a massive and peaceful demonstration across our country in defence of diversity: “Marcha Federal del Orgullo Antifascista y Antirracista LGBTQI+.” Has it sunk in, Mr President? Has it hit home? If not, we- the people-will always be ready to remind you. That’s our right and our duty as citizens
