“I am not your partner, I am your partner” is a trend that shows part of the siege that a Tec de Monterrey student was the victim of by his teacher.
The event unleashed strong criticism against him and reminds us of the culture to which academic institutions such as Tec de Monterrey must submit.
Andra Escamilla, who asked in a Zoom session to be identified as a “colleague” has also explained the lack of follow-up to inclusion recommendations in this type of institutions.

After the explanation, it is clear that institutions such as Tec de Monterrey have a great debt between their staff and students in terms of inclusive culture and how to relate from these new standards, because despite having offices dedicated to this mission, they do not the implementation of the recommendations made by these departments is being monitored.
The explanation of a viral video
Escamilla is a TikTok user where he has almost 4 thousand followers and where he has published a video that has exceeded 164 thousand reproductions, explaining what happened in that Zoom meeting where he asked to be identified as a partner and that he was part of a class of the Tecnológico de Monterrey.
During the Zoom session on “Intelligent logistics networks”, Escamillla recalls that he had asked his teacher for a deadline for the delivery of a work, because he had been delayed due to the effects of the vaccine that was applied against C0VID-I9.
“(The professor) went on to say ‘it’s that she’ and then for a long time, my three semesters at the university, they have always treated me about her and my pronoun is elle, if that pronoun bothers them, there is also him, then he is quite easy, it is in my zoom number and in my background, I think there is no excuse, I had a breack down due to all the emotional load that this entails ”, explained the young student.
This media has contacted Tec de Monterrey to find out the position of the institution after revealing the facts in which a university professor committed misgendering against a student, viralizing his response in that he was mainly attacked, so we will update this note with the corresponding information.
