The Leioa School of Education was full of students last Wednesday because Samantha Hudson was coming. She is a transgender Mallorcan artist, singer and influencer born in 1999. The star of the People Singing Encounters had an endless line to give selfies and autographs, and his conversation surpassed the aphore of the main hall.
I was very impressed with his proposal to be his interlocutor because of his curiosity to meet a celebrity, but above all because I listen to his transfeminist and antifascist discourse on the podcast Bimboficadas, which is also evident in the lyrics of the songs. For example, in Por España he presents himself as a “Mason-Mason of Judaism, a prostitute, a witch voodoo” and represents sadomasochistic fantasies with the Paco Caudillo with total shameless irony.
He became famous at the age of 16 as a student of the Bachillerato de las Artes Escénicas. He was going to shoot a video clip for the audio-visual lesson and created an iconic sacrilegious song (I’m a maricón/but also I’m Christian/They don’t take me for fuck by the ano). The professor said, "Great," but the Religious reacted differently. He turned to the bishop and conservative organizations such as Christian Lawyers launched a tremendous campaign against the teenager. Although traumatic, it was then that pop-star Samantha Hudson was born.
The students asked her a lot of questions during the conversation: about her character, about bisexuality, about the role of allied men... One asked her what path youth should take to continue transforming society, considering that both the labor movement and the classical feminist movements are in crisis. “We urgently need to organize. Stand up for housing rights. Unionize,” Samantha replied.
Hudson released the song the next day with Villano Antillano. The Puerto Rican transgender raplari in Bimboficadas explained that shaking the ghost of trans women is the key strategy of the Trump administration’s fascist agenda.
The Kuir movement is considered by many to be neoliberal. The opposite seems to me: The anti-fascism of the 21st century is not embodied by a man with Marteens and bombers, but by a politicized trans person who wears a miniskirt and nails that leaves his buttocks in sight.

A group of gunmen beat up two young men in a barbershop. They’ve been locked in to prevent security cameras on San Francisco Street from filming police abuses, but they probably didn’t expect that this business also had a security camera. LUZ has published a video of the... [+]
