Mexican former congressman convicted by high court for ‘misgendering’ far-left politician
Life Site News ^ | 8/21/23 | Andreas Wailzer

Former Mexican congressman and leader of a pro-family organization Rodrigo Iván Cortés has been convicted of “gender-based political violence” for correctly referring to a gender-confused congressman as a man.

Mexico’s highest court for electoral issues upheld the guilty verdict of a lower court, convicting Cortés of “(i) gender-based political violence, (ii) digital violence, (iii) symbolic violence, (iv) psychological violence, and (v) sexual violence” for statements made in several social media posts.

Cortés had referred to gender-confused Congressman “Salma” Luévano as a “man who self-ascribes as a woman” in his posts on Twitter and Facebook.

The Mexican court imposed a fine of 19,244 Mexican pesos (USD 1,129) on Cortés and ordered him to publish an apology along with the court ruling on Facebook and Twitter every day for 30 days. The pro-family and pro-life leader was also mandated to take a “gender-based political violence” course and register on “the National Registry of Persons Sanctioned in Political Matters against Women,” despite the person he offended being a biological man.

I didn’t think Mexico was this far gone, at least I thought they were still fairly socially conservative.

Coming to the USA…

It really strikes me that the law is as confused as the dude with lipstick. The law fails to recognize the stark difference between words and true violence.

Wow. Speak truth, and be convicted!

The very epitome of what is needed for totalitarian rule!

The left has been pushing the meme "words are violence" for quite a while. It is an absolute negation of freedom of speech.

Misgendering someone is considered an act of criminal violence?

What the heck kinds of laws are these?

These laws are on the same level as laws dealing with actual physical violence committed against someone.

What a crazy world this is.

Mexico is very socially conservative. But the current party in power has stacked the courts.

LEAs [Local Education Agencies] may run afoul of the NYSHRL and the Dignity Act by:

• Using a pretext of inappropriateness or lewdness to systemically remove diverse perspectives from the classroom;
• Prohibiting discussions related to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, nonbinary and gender expansive people, or diverse family structures and identities using a pretext of inappropriateness or obscenity;
• Prohibiting a person from participating in a particular extracurricular program or using a particular facility because they do not conform to gender stereotypes;
• Prohibiting a transgender, gender expansive, or nonbinary person from using the single-gender extracurricular program or facility most closely aligned with their gender identity;
• Requiring a gender expansive or non-binary person to provide identification or proof of their gender in order to access the appropriate single-gender extracurricular program or facility;
• Barring a gender expansive student from a single-gender extracurricular program out of concern that they will make other students uncomfortable;

My thoughts as well. Canada? We expect it from them, but Mexico?

There is only one word for it.

That’s what we keep hearing about a certain demographic in the USA, that they are so socially conservative, yet they vote 70% Democrat.
