Three snippets on a theme.

First up, because we’ve been starved of irony, some news from Brazil:

A trans-identified male politician who previously attempted to have a woman imprisoned for “misgendering” him was elected as president of the Women’s Rights Committee.

Felipe Santos Silva, who has adopted the name Erika Hilton, told the Chamber of Deputies that the Committee should focus on women “without exception in their dignity and plurality,” and included transvestites in his definition.

Because when you think of the dignity of women, you immediately picture drag queens.

Mr Hilton, a member of the Socialism and Liberty Party, has responded to his critics – people suggesting that perhaps the president of a Women’s Rights Committee might be an actual, you know, woman – by denouncing them as “LGBTphobes” and “defenders of paedophilia.” Which may strike readers as a little rich, given statistical realities.

On which, more shortly.

Mr Hilton has filed a criminal complaint against one of his critics, via the Public Prosecutor’s Office of São Paulo – and demands for the equivalent of $1.9 million dollars – on grounds that said critic failed to perceive Mr Hilton as a woman. A failure to affirm, or indeed to hallucinate, that Mr Hilton has seen fit to construe as “violence.”

And because a cake needs icing,

In December, women’s magazine Marie Claire named Hilton as one of it’s “women of the year.”

Meanwhile, in the laugh-a-minute world of transgender Reddit moderators:

A moderator involved in three of the largest trans-focused subreddits is a child sex offender, and may have received protection from another transgender moderator.

And from Rhode Island’s educational bureaucracy:

A former Narragansett Regional School Committee member who “came out” as transgender days before he was arraigned on child sexual abuse charges has been sentenced to two years in prison after being caught with child abuse material for the second time. Andrew John Robinson, now known as Regina Audrey Robinson, was previously spared jail.

But remember, dear citizen, these are Things That Never Happen.
