Laurel writes for a medium that after publishing this column and receiving complaints from “feminist collectives”, it was eliminated without giving any explanation to the author. Seeing the level of violence that was exercised in social networks against Láurel, we requested her permission to publish said text in our spaces that was kindly granted to us by media friends with the Broken Column. This is also our way of giving a voice to those who artfully murder and remain invisible.

Here is the full text of Láurel, with whom we stand in solidarity and embrace each one of those who today say, No to violence and our invisibility.
Transphobic discourse, the true Trojan horse of feminism
by Laurel Miranda (illustrations added)
”If you are a feminist and do not stand up to those who in the name of this political movement violate trans and non-binary people, I am afraid to tell you that it is called complicity.
In the same way that we speak of the patriarchal pact to denounce the complicity between men, as well as their silence or passivity in the face of the misogynistic acts of their fellow men, we can and must also speak of those cisgender feminist women who decide to ignore the transphobic acts of their alleged wrestling partners.
