Brazilian Christian Influencer Jailed for 'Misgendering' Trans Politician

A Salvador court sentenced Christian influencer Bianca Barreto to two years under house arrest for "misgendering" trans-identified congressman Duda Salabert, ruling that stating a person's biological sex constitutes criminal "social racism" under Brazil's 2019 Supreme Court precedent. The judge held that recognising self-declared gender identity is now legally mandatory, effectively criminalising public affirmation of male-female creation order as a matter of religious conviction. The case marks a concrete instance of state power being used to compel speech against biblical anthropology and to penalise Christians for publicly upholding it.
