Debate on Trans Rights and Gender Ideology in Mexico
Mexican Politician Convicted of "Gendered Violence" After Calling Trans Lawmaker A "Man" - Reduxx 🔗
The Electoral Tribunal of the Judiciary of Mexico (TEPJF) has convicted Congresswoman Teresa Castell of “gendered violence” towards a trans-identified male politician, Salma Luévano, for referring to him as a “man.” Castell was found guilty of “political gendered violence” and was ordered to take a course on political violence, issue a public apology, and be catalogued in the National Registry of Persons Sanctioned in Political Matters against Women for Gender Reasons. The incident has sparked a debate about gender ideology and trans rights in Mexico, with Castell and her supporters arguing against it, while trans activists advocate for recognition and protection. This case is part of a series of similar convictions against individuals who have misgendered or expressed opposition to trans-identified politicians.
