Hari umugambi ukorerwa mu gihugu hose w'agatsiko gato gakomeye kandi gafite ishyaka ryinshi ugamije kurimbura abantu bihinduje igitsina (transgender) nkanjye n'umugore wanjye bakabavana mu buzima rusange. Ni bo bari ku butegetsi i Jefferson City na Topeka. Tugomba kubahagarika hano muri Kansas City.
Natangaje ku mugaragaro ko nahinduje igitsina mu mpeshyi yo mu 2020, maze nimukira mu Karere ka 6 ka Kansas City nyuma muri uwo mwaka. Ubu ntuye mu gace gashyize hamwe kandi gakira abantu neza. Gutekera hanze ku mbuga z'amazu yacu, ibiganiro birebire mu cyumba cyo kumeseramo n'imigoroba twicaye mu busitani bw'abaturage buri iruhande rwacu, byanyeretse neza ko abaturanyi banjye ari abantu bambonaga by'ukuri kandi banyitayeho uko ndi. Banyeretse ko ndi mu rugo.
Inkundura yo kumpanagura mu gace ntuyemo ubu irashaka kumbuza kubona ubuvuzi ikanambuza gukoresha ubwiherero. Aba bantu barashaka kubuza abana bameze nkanjye gukina imikino kandi bakabwira abaturanyi banjye ko nteje akaga abana babo. Barashaka guca ibitabo bivuga ku bantu bameze nkanjye kugira ngo abaturanyi banjye batabona inkuru zifata nk'ikiremwamuntu. Barashaka ko nihisha abaturanyi banjye, kugira ngo bataigera bamenya iby'injangwe yanjye isekeje, cyangwa ko nyogokuru yujuje imyaka 80, cyangwa ko nkunda indabyo ziri ku mabaraza yabo. Ntibashaka ko mwe, baturanyi banjye, mumbona.
Ku itariki ya 13 Mata, nagize ubwoba ko naba ngomba guhunga urugo rwanjye. Intumwa Nkuru ya Leta ya Missouri Andrew Bailey yatangaje ko mu byumweru bibiri, azahagarika umuganga wese washoboraga kumfasha kubaho by'ukuri nk'uko ndi. Mu cyumweru gishize yavanyeho itegeko ry'igitaraganya ryabuzaga ubuvuzi ku bantu bahinduje igitsina, ariko Inteko Ishinga Amategeko (General Assembly) ishobora kongera kurisubizaho byoroshye.
Ku itariki ya 11 Gicurasi, umujyi wanjye wafashe icyemezo cy'uko ubuzima bwanjye, umutekano wanjye no kubaho kwanjye bikwiye kurindwa, maze uhitamo kugira Kansas City ubuhungiro bwizewe ku buvuzi bwemeza igitsina umuntu yiyumvamo.
Ku wa 20 Kamena, abaturanyi banjye mu Akarere ka 6 bafite amahirwe yo kongera guhitamo.
Mu gihe yiyamamariza kujya mu Inama Njyanama y'Umujyi ngo ampagararire, Dan Tarwater avuga byinshi ku bijyanye n'uko abaturage bakumva batekanye, ariko biragaragara ko yiyemeje umutekano ku bo abona ko babikwiye gusa — atari umuryango wacu wose. Yanze itegeko ryo kwambara agapfukamunwa muri Jackson County mu gihe icyorezo cya COVID-19 cyari kigeze ahakomeye. Yagiye ku ruhande rwa Jefferson City arwanya uburenganzira bwo gukuramo inda. Mu ishyaka rye nk'umudepite w'akarere ryo gushaka igifungo cyo guhishamo abandi benshi mu baturanyi bacu, ntiyigeze agaragaza ko ahangayikishijwe n'ingaruka zatewe no kwimura abaturage bo mu gace k'amazu yimukanwa ka Heart Village. Ubwo bamubazaga ibyo yakoze, yabasekeye mu maso mu gihe yabirukanaga, nk'uko itsinda riharanira uburenganzira bw'umukodesha ryitwa KC Tenants ryabigaragaje kuri Twitter. Ndacyeka ko yatekerezaga ko hazaboneka umwanya uhagije kuri bo muri Gereza nshya.
Icyerekezo cya Tarwater ku mutekano gisa n'aho gitangirira kikanarangirira ku bapolisi n'amagereza. Ariko kubona ukuboko k'umupolisi kuimbunda iri mu rwubati rwayo cyangwa amatara yaka azima mu ndorerwamo y'imodoka yanjye ireba inyuma bituma ngira impungenge n'ubwoba, ntabwo bituma ntekana — cyane cyane ko nzi ko Polisi y'Umujyi wa Kansas City (Kansas City Police Department) igenzurwa na leta ari yo yahabwa inshingano zo gushyira mu bikorwa amabwiriza akumira uburyo nambara cyangwa imiti mfata.
Numva mfite umutekano nyakuri iyo nifatanyije n'abaturanyi banjye, nzi ko dushyigikirana. Johnathan Duncan yiyemeje guharanira uwo mutekano nyakuri: utari uwo ku ruhembe rw'imbunda, ahubwo ushingiye ku kwita ku baturage. Ibyo yanyuzemo ni ibye bwite — ubufatanye bwamukijije nyuma yo kugaruka mu rugo avuye mu gisirikare muri Iraq. Kwiyemeza kwa Johnathan mu miyoborere ihuriweho n'abaturage bituma njye n'abaturanyi banjye tugira ijambo mu buryo twubaka umuryango utekanye kurushaho. Kwiyemeza kwe ku burenganzira bw'umuntu ku mubiri we bivuze ko azamagana imigambi y'ubutegetsi bw'abantu bake muri Jefferson City yo kwitambika hagati yanjye na muganga wanjye — ndetse no hagati yawe n'uwawe — ku byemezo byerekeye ubuzima bwite. Akazi ke nk'umuhuzabikorwa muri KC Tenants kampa icyizere ko nk'umwe mu bagize Inama Njyanama y'Umujyi, azakomeza guteza imbere imibanire myiza mu karere kacu, akadufasha kwishyira hamwe tukarwanya abashaka kutugirira nabi no kuducamo ibice.
Icyerekezo cye kuri Kansas City, aho buri wese afite ibyo akeneye kugira ngo atere imbere, ni cyo gituma numva mfite umutekano nyakuri. Ni yo mpamvu natora Johnathan Duncan kuba uhagarariye Akarere ka 6 mu Inama Njyanama y'Umujyi. Nizeye ko abaturanyi banjye bazifatanya nanjye.
Aaron Ratigan ni umwubatsi (injeniyeri). Atuye mu Akarere ka 6 ka Kansas City.
