       Today’s FFS Friday celebrates Isabella Cêpa, who has been charged with “criminal transphobia” by Brazilian authorities, threatened with 25 years in prison, and granted political asylum in Europe.In 2020, a man who calls himself a woman named Erika ran for office in Sān Paolo, and won. Cêpa said she was “disappointed to hear that the most voted-for woman in São Paulo … was a man.” He reported her, and she was charged with five counts of “social racism” due to her “transphobia,” and threatened with 25 years in prison. She fled to Europe, where she was granted asylum. Notably, “transphobia” is not an actual crime in Brazil, in that it’s not in the criminal code; the only way for the authorities to charge her was by relying on a 2019 Brazilian court decision making “transphobia” a form of racism (which is a crime).“Erika” has now been named “woman of the year” by Marie Claire Brazil.Isabella, I am so sorry. I’m happy that you’re safe in Europe, but as you said in your interview, this entire situation is utter madness. None of this should be happening. Male physical and sexual violence against women and girls is a real thing, and we should be able to discuss it plainly and openly. You shouldn’t be having to speak out about this, but I’m glad you are. Today’s FFS Friday is for you.https://open.substack.com/pub/karadansky/p/ffs-friday-isabella-cepa?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web
