ACI Prensa Staff, Feb 6, 2023 / 15:15 pm The Specialized Chamber of the Electoral Tribunal of the Federal Judiciary in Mexico has ruled against the National Front for the Family (FNF) and its president, Rodrigo Iván Cortés, for calling Salma Luévano, a “trans” woman congressional representative, a “man.”
In a Feb. 2 statement, the court said that Cortés and the FNF “committed political violence against women based on gender due to various posts on social media and the internet against the federal congresswoman, Salma Luévano, and trans women.”
To the Specialized Chamber, “the reported expressions were offensive and discriminatory by rejecting the gender identity and devaluing the performance of the federal congresswoman, which constituted digital, symbolic, psychological, and sexual violence against her.”
“Consequently, a fine was imposed on the aforementioned association as well as on its president; in addition, the publication of a retraction of the sentence was ordered [to be posted] on the social media on which the offense was committed, the issuance of a public apology, and other comprehensive reparation measures and guarantees of non-repetition,” the statement added.
This ruling is the most recent episode in a controversy that arose after Luévano, a member of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena) political party of Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, showed up in the Federal Congress on Sept. 21, 2022, wearing clothing similar to that of a Catholic bishop.
On that occasion, Luévano announced a bill to reform the Law on Religious Associations and Public Worship, which would allow churches that, according to the bill’s criteria, spread “hate speech,” to be penalized.

“We shall soon be in a world in which a man may be howled down for saying that two and two make four, in which furious party cries will be raised against anybody who says that cows have horns, in which people will persecute the heresy of calling a triangle a three-sided figure, and hang a man for maddening mob with the news that grass is green.”

Mexico is falling for this garbage too? One would think they might have other priorities, such as unemployment, affordable housing and police chiefs who often get erased by the drug cartels.
yeah, i can’t believe even Mexico is going woke! How sickening! A guaranteed way to destroy a country is to export feminism and leftism into it!
Defiance must continue until this insanity ends. Not one peso for this demonic “court” and not one apology on “social(ist) media.”
Paging Dr. Jordan Peterson.........
The woke BS is an aggressive culture destroying cancer, nothing is safe
The Mexican culture is very conservative.
This does not sound like the decsion of a conservative court.
Maybe they’re using a revised definition of ‘conservative’.
The world 🌎🌍 is going cuckoo.
Tagline.
Calling a spade a garden tool is now illegal in socialist Mexico? Say it ain’t so, José!
Bet the cartels laugh.
