An activist has singled out Eugenio Derbez for ‘liking’ a proposal that would threaten trans childhoods

Eugenio Derbez, who has consolidated a long career as a comedian, filmmaker and actor – both in Mexico and abroad – is in the public eye after an activist denounced that the famous man had given several “likes” on social networks to a proposal that would threaten trans childhoods.

And it is that in recent days, the deputy CDMX of the National Action Party (PAN), America Rangel, introduced a bill to prohibit “minors from undergoing medical treatment” and gender reassignment surgeries”, which would also aim to “punish with prison anyone who performs these procedures on minors”.

This caused widespread concern, as activists and human rights experts saw the proposal as a possible way to criminalize the diversity of childhoods and deny their gender identity.

Even the CDMX Sexual Diversity Community Center He explained from his social media why he had to be careful what Rangel was referring to.

“The proposed law to ban hormone treatments and sex reassignment surgeries for minors at the CDMX congress is alarmist, discriminatory and in violation of children’s rights. It is a proposal that violates the rights and is contrary to the best interests of children, assuming that girls and boys do not deserve recognition of their identity or do not enjoy the free development of their personality”, reads- on and add:

“This is an initiative based on transphobic hate speech, which trivializes gender identity (a fundamental element of development and freedom), which seeks to capitalize on the rejection of the rights of LGBTTTI+ people. We cannot tolerate any setback in the conquest of human rights in our City. Let’s not let hate and discrimination gain ground in our #CityOfRights. Let us continue to defend equality, freedoms and the right to live without violence”.

She was an academic and a journalist, miranda laurel who on his account Twitter pointed out that Eugenio Derbez would have like repeatedly some of the MP’s tweets. Which would imply that the actor The P. Luche family I could agree with these approaches.

“Well, @EugenioDerbez loving @AmerangelLorenz in everything about his proposal that seeks to affect trans childhoods is… icing on the cake. Pair of haters I want to see what Hollywood studios think about their anti-rights stance.he tweeted.

Likewise, Láurel has released a series of posts detailing why trans childhoods might be affected by this type of legislation.

“It goes to @AmerangelLorenz, @EugenioDerbez and all the people who say ‘not with children’: 1. Gender transitions are not dependent on hormonal treatments. 2. There are childhoods and adolescents who seek only to correct their legal gender identity. 3. Those seeking hormone treatments, in conjunction with their parents or guardians, They have the right to do so.” placed and added:

“Surely in their life they read a minimum on trans childhoods, in the social, psychological, medical aspect. No, none of that, their prejudice of “they want to mutilate” is enough for them. Well, people like Eugenio. Because it’s clear to me about America that he’s using us for his image.”

Although so far the actor No refund remained without publishing statements in this regard, in his account Twitter He “liked” a supportive comment he received: “TLet’s all follow @EugenioDerbez because he is for common sense”.

Besides, even a post from America Rangel which reads: “Hahahahahaha this person wants Hollywood to cancel @EugenioDerbez for liking a tweet. The great Eugenio must tremble with fear”.
