Influencer goes to prison for ‘misgendering’ politician in Brazil

(LifeSiteNews) — A Christian Brazilian influencer was sentenced last month to two years in prison for “misgendering” a trans-identified politician. The 9th Criminal Court of Salvador ruled July 29 that she is guilty of the “intentional and pejorative use of the gender opposite … (to a) self-declared identity.” Salabert, a man who identifies as a woman, is a member of the leftist Socialism and Liberty Party. In Barreto’s video, she discussed an earlier “transphobia” case involving Salabert and Member of Parliament Nikolas Ferreira. By ‘her’ I mean the person, because a man is a man, a woman is a woman, and that’s it.”
