70 year sentences for trans femicides. Here’s the punitive punishment you were asking for conservatives. If you can’t do the time then don’t do the crime.
Mexico politics seem pretty 🔥 lately
Transfemicide sounds like only murders of trans women get these high prison sentences but the article makes no mention of that. Does that mean it is for murder of any transperson (trans men and women)? The naming is confusing.
That’s a good question.
That said, if I had to guess I would assume trans men aren’t murdered at nearly the same rate as trans women
I figured that this is the case but I wanted some clarification.
Trans women are killed way more, to the point of systemic harm. As a trans guy, I don’t mind this conflation at all because it’s unfortunately so obvious that trans women are the primary victims of trans violence.
It’s drawing on an existing word “femicide” - which already has political and historical context and is pretty well-known and adding the trans dimension. And just because the most intense violence is mostly directed at trans women, doesn’t mean it’s not a manifestation of a broader transphobia that effects all trans people and not just trans women.

Murder isn’t life? Or is this in addition to the murder charge?
