Resumen
The Indignadxs movement originated with the occupation of many city squares in Spain on May 15th, 2011 (that is why it has also been called 15M). The massive takeover of public space lasted a few weeks but part of the movement continues still today, six years on. The aim of this chapter is, on the one hand, to explain the conflicts that feminist and queer activists faced during the Puerta del Sol camp in Madrid and afterwards, and, on the other, the labor of political pedagogy carried out by them in two directions: towards the inside of the movement itself, and towards the city/society in general. In doing so, I analyze the work carried out by the queer 188assembly of Madrid (the so-called Transfagdyke assembly) I have been part of from its beginning in 2011, through the analysis of its actions and discourses, and through participatory observation during these six years.
