Imagine being tried & convicted as a "violent political offender" for peaceably expressing your views on Twitter—happening now to @rodrigoivanc in #Mexico 🇲🇽 #AThread🧵
In a bonkers decision, @rodrigoivanc was convicted of multiple forms of violence (gender-based + psychological + digital + sexual violence) FOR SPEECH on Twitter referring to @SalmaLuevano, a trans-identifying Congressional rep in MX, as "a man who self-ascribes as a woman"
In the meantime, while Rodrigo is being convicted of "violence", here's the behavior of the activists that are suing him 👇
On Wednesday, a court ruling on Cortes' appeal for this major Twitter #freespeech case was expected from the court in MX @TEPJF_informa
However, judgment was delayed after the complainant in the case, lawmaker @SalmaLuevano, met with the judge the day before. Here they are looking chummy 👇
No clue what was discussed, but such a meeting the day before case is decided is 🐟. This is the state of law & order in #Mexico 🇲🇽. I will keep you posted on how it ends.

Durante el último par de años he estado siguiendo de cerca las cuestiones de libertad de expresión en 🇲🇽 #Mexico. Y hoy les traigo un caso brutal. Síganme en esta historia de censura judicial, represion de discurso político y cuestionable ética judicial. #Hilo🧵cc: @rodrigoivanc
En una decisión descabellada, @rodrigoivanc fue condenado por violencia "de género", "psicológica", "digital" y hasta "sexual" POR PALABRAS al refiere a #SalmaLuevano, "diputrans" (como se dice), con pronombres masculinos y como "un hombre que se autoadscribe mujer".
@rodrigoivanc comentaba las iniciativas legislativas de Luevano quien, entre otras cosas, había presentado un proyecto de ley para ilegalizar la prédica sobre ética cristiana. Aquí está Luevano en la presentación del proyecto de ley, en el Congreso.
La mayoría de la @CIDH en su actual composición continúa empujando la noción del aborto como un derecho humano. Pero no hay consenso. Interesante y potente voto disidente de los comisionados @carloslbernal y @StuardoRalon. Abro importante 🧵
"No hay personas que estén más vivas o sean más dignas de protección que otras, ni hay personas parcialmente vivas o dignas. Tener vida es cuestión de todo o nada, no un asunto de grado..."
"...Por ende, el derecho a la vida protege a todas y todos los seres humanos, independientemente de su edad o etapa de desarrollo, incluso dentro del vientre materno. Lo contrario implicaría discriminar a las personas por razón de su edad."
The Supreme Court of Mexico @SCJN has turned into reality what many of us anticipated, and others said was an unthinkable exaggeration. Age determination is declared a fundamental right, inaugurating "age identity" and "transetarian" status 🧵 1
This was obvious to anyone who wanted to see it. The Court now explicitly states it. The "logic" behind "gender identity" is the same as with age. To control one's own biography, it is the will of the subject that determines reality.(2)
Court states that civil registry must provide legal certainty; but certainty about the reality that the subject claims to be truth. Allows both lowering and raising the age, as long as there is no "indication of bad faith". (3)
