Isabella Cêpa and the male cross dresser she misgendered

A Brazilian women’s rights activist has been granted full refugee status in an unnamed European country after facing criminal charges in Brazil for referring to a male-to-female transgender politician as a man.

Isabella Cêpa, a social media commentator and feminist known for her advocacy against domestic violence, was facing up to 25 years in prison under Brazil’s “social racism” law, a legal provision that treats alleged transphobic speech as a form of racial discrimination.

Criminals who cross-dress can now avoid deportation

Another week, another mad story from the immigration courts. According to the Telegraph, a 27-year-old Algerian criminal has been permitted to stay in Britain as a refugee because he describes himself as transgender.

The man entered the UK in 2013, illegally. Citing the ‘situation’ in Algeria, he was given limited leave to remain as a refugee by UK authorities. Following a string of offences – including burglary, theft and battery – that landed him in jail, the Home Office issued a deportation order in 2022. He appealed, arguing that the fact he ‘was and is a transvestite and / or transgender’ made it too dangerous for him to return to Algeria. He also said that his father ‘threatened to kill him’.

Michael Higgins: The United Church’s abhorrent excuses for October 7

It is loathsome when anyone describes the butchery that happened in Israel on October 7 as an act of “resistance,” but it is particularly troubling when it comes from people within the United Church of Canada.

Such hateful rhetoric can be found in a proposal that will be considered by the church’s general council meeting, which starts Thursday. It begins by stating that “the Gaza genocide is the most recent and most severe expression of the colonialist oppression of the state of Israel upon the Palestinian people.”


That is one sick church.
