Reference excerpt

Nua Elizabeth Fuentes Aguirre (born in Quito on June 28, 1991) is an Ecuadorian sociologist, performance artist, and transfeminist activist. As an activist, she has been spokesperson for the Trans Pact and president of the Transgender Project foundation, which she has represented at the National Assembly of Ecuador to discuss bills on multiple occasions.

Biography She completed her higher education at the Pontifical Catholic University of Ecuador, where she obtained a sociology degree. Subsequently, she began a master's degree in social sciences, gender, and development at the Latin American Faculty of Social Sciences (FLACSO). In 2015, she became a spokesperson for the Trans Pact before the National Assembly of Ecuador during the discussion of the draft Organic Law of the National Service for Identity and Civil Data Management, where she promoted the universal inclusion of a gender field on identity cards instead of the sex field. The final version of the law, which allowed the change of sex to gender with the presence of two witnesses as a requirement, was criticized by Fuentes, who said that imposing additional conditions on the recognition of transgender people made them akin to second-class citizens. As a performative artist, she created the fanzine Máquina Púrpura, part of the artistic project Las maricas no olvidamos, in 2015, together with Antonella Zamora and Andrea Alejandro Freire. She was part of the organization of the Ecuadorian version of the SlutWalk (from 2016 to 2019) and the Safe Abortion campaign, in addition to participating in the 2022 National Strike of Ecuador, where she promoted an agenda of sexual dissident rights.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Nua Fuentes

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Nua Fuentes claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Nua Fuentes before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Nua Fuentes ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Nua Fuentes

In research: Nua Fuentes appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Nua Fuentes in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Nua Fuentes is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1991 births, 21st-century Ecuadorian LGBTQ people, 21st-century Ecuadorian women, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Nua Fuentes outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
