Brazil University Staff Fired and CRIMINALLY Charged for ‘Transphobia’ and ‘Misgendering’ a Student – Twitchy

What is going on in Brazil? A couple of months ago, this writer told you about the archaeologist who’s facing three years in jail for saying bones can identify a person’s gender. Brazilian authorities classified this is as ‘transphobia’ because heaven forbid we let science get in the way of woke sexual politics.

But the insanity hasn’t stopped there. Now two university workers — including a janitor — were fired and face five years in prison for ‘transphobia’ and ‘misgendering’ a student. 

🚨Two university workers in Brazil are facing up to 5 YEARS in prison for “transphobia” after “misgendering” a transgender student.

One is a female janitor who directed the student to a men’s washroom. She lost her job and was criminally charged.https://t.co/7dveUNjgpu

Here’s more from REDUXX:

A female janitor and a University administrator in Brazil are facing up to 5 years in prison for “social racism” after a trans-identified male student reported them to police for “transphobia.” The student, Odara Moraes, had taken offense to being asked to use the men’s restroom.

The incident occurred on October 14 of 2022 at the Federal University of Paraíba, one of the two main public Universities in the coastal eastern state of Paraíba, Brazil. That day, Moraes entered one of the women’s washrooms on campus only to be confronted by a female janitor who challenged his presence in the women’s facilities.

The janitor, who has asked to be anonymized and will be referred to as Luiza for the purposes of this article, had been working at the campus for nine years, but told Reduxx that she didn’t frequently get assigned to the department where the incident occurred.

…

Luiza says she entered the women’s washroom with her co-worker to see Moraes, a biological male she describes as having been wearing a “crop top and mini skirt.” Without hesitation, Luiza politely informed him that he was not in the correct washroom, a statement she said had not been intended to cause offense.

“I didn’t mean to offend anyone or hurt anyone. I just spoke to him politely, and I was politely bothered. Because it was a female space, not a male one. I was simply speaking about a fact, about a right — my right as a woman to defend our space, a female space. I had never seen anything like that before — a man using a women’s bathroom,” she says. But Moraes immediately became combative, pulling out his phone to begin filming her and calling her “transphobic.” He also demanded that she refer to him with feminine pronouns.

A man used the women’s washroom and then abused the janitor, and the janitor was punished. As was the administrator, a man, who tried to de-escalate the situation.

Make it make sense.

this poor woman didn’t even have a phone of her own to speak to me with because she was broke from losing her job. she had to use her husband’s phone to send her comment.

I hate libfems with every fiber of my being for letting this happen

That’s the Left for you.

OK, women, let’s just start burning everything down.

We’re on board with this.

“Social racism”?
I am so over this made-up crap that gives people one more way to claim being offended.

Let this be a warning!
Don’t give anybody directions to a restroom! Just shrug and keep walking.

‘Social racism’ isn’t a thing.

Crazy what losing one election did to Brazil.

Where’s the lie?

If you have a daughter – or a wife, a mother, a sister, a niece, a girlfriend, or aunt – any female in your life you care about, THIS is what is happening when we decide the “feelings” of men who feel like they are women take priority over actual females. https://t.co/9lAe1lZAGm

Pay attention.

WTF is wrong with Brazil?? “Transphobia” is a crime?

That’s a guy, it’s always going to be a guy.

Why are progressives losing the votes of working people n many countries?

It’s a mystery. https://t.co/MrCVoe9wAT

Total mystery.

Physically harming a woman leads to less time in prison than “misgendering” a man who claims to be a woman.

And some wonder why we are speaking out. https://t.co/9lAe1lZAGm

We need to keep speaking out.
