Que corpos contam? – Texto 3 — Portugal, país de direitos (para alguns)

Quem fica de fora quando o Estado celebra a igualdade?

Entretanto — Nota política

Este texto foi escrito quando Portugal ainda se podia gabar — com alguma razão, embora não sem reservas — de estar na vanguarda europeia dos direitos LGBT+. Entretanto, o parlamento tornou-se palco de uma ofensiva da direita reacionária que veio mostrar o que este texto já argumentava: que a igualdade formal é frágil, que os consensos podem ser desfeitos, e que os direitos conquistados não estão garantidos enquanto o poder que os concedeu continuar a ser o mesmo poder que decide quando os retira.

A lei de autodeterminação de género foi atacada por forças políticas que preferem legislar sobre corpos alheios a garantir a dignidade de quem os habita. Bandeiras cuir foram proibidas em edifícios públicos — como se a visibilidade das pessoas cuir fosse uma ameaça à ordem, e não a ordem uma ameaça às pessoas cuir. O Estado que este texto analisa como produtor de exclusão material mostrou agora que também produz exclusão legislativa — que a retórica dos direitos pode coexistir, sem contradição aparente, com a erosão ativa desses mesmos direitos.

O paralelismo é brutal e não é acidental. Este texto argumenta que a discriminação de facto persiste mesmo onde a lei promete igualdade — que entre a norma jurídica e a vida vivida há uma distância que as instituições produzem e perpetuam. O que aconteceu entretanto veio acrescentar uma camada que o texto não antecipava mas que o confirma: em Portugal, nem a lei está garantida. A direita reacionária não inventou a exclusão — encontrou-a já instalada nas práticas institucionais, nos formulários, nos protocolos médicos, nas práticas policiais. Limitou-se a torná-la explícita, a elevá-la à dignidade de política de Estado.

Portugal era, dizíamos, um país de direitos. Entretanto, ficou mais claro para quem — e ficou mais claro o que custa existir fora da norma quando a norma decide que já chega de ser generosa.

@MissConstrue It's kinda depressing to think that they voted for Toth instead of Crenshaw because...

Crenshaw. Wasn't. MAGA. Enough.

Let that sink in for a minute.

#USPol #Texas #Crenshaw #Toth #MAGA #Elections

@MissConstrue I think the MAGA base will be all in for Toth, TBH. The same district just voted to keep their Republican County Judge (and a disgraced pastor) Mark Keough, who was sued for sexual assault on a church staff member and who also ran his vehicle into the back of a stopped constable's car while he was DWI.

This district boasts of being the "reddest county in Texas". Truthfully, it's like living in MAGA crazy town.

#USPol #Texas #Toth #Crenshaw #Elections #MAGA #Keough

So let’s talk about #Texas, and #primaries and interference. I’ll admit that maybe it’s sour grapes, as I love Jasmine, and I feel she was done dirty by Colbert first, and the TX #GOP Supreme Court, who absolutely interfered with the vote in her home county second. That said, I will support #Talarico as the candidate, but I do it with the full recognition of the racism at play.

Some other interesting news, Sen #Cornyn will have to face a runoff with Ken #Paxton. Both of them are horrible humans, but I hope Paxton wins because he’ll be easier to beat in the general. Cornyn is a powerhouse with a lot of industry support, because he’s never met a lobbyist he wouldn’t suck off.

Al Green is in danger of losing his seat, it’s gone to a runoff. His opponent is a pretty awesome young dude, and #Green is 80, so... young electorate could go either way.

Dan #Crenshaw lost his seat. This pleases me. #Dems did pretty well, all #gerrymandering considered.
