Lawmaker puts on blackface during trans fight in Brazil congress
Brazilian politician Fabiana Bolsonaro wore blackface during an official government proceeding on Wednesday to protest a transgender lawmaker being selected to lead a women's rights group.
By JAMES CIRRONE, US NEWS REPORTER
A Brazilian politician put on blackface while delivering a speech this week to protest a transgender lawmaker being selected to lead a women's rights commission.
Fabiana Bolsonaro, who is not related to former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, is a member of the São Paulo state's legislative assembly.
She staged the protest during a Wednesday plenary session after Erika Hilton - the first openly trans woman elected to Brazil’s National Congress - was chosen to chair the Commission for the Defense of Women’s Rights.
Comment:
She has a good point.
A dude wearing a dress does not make him a woman anymore than a White person wearing black makeup makes them a Black person.
If you are going to be the leader of a women's rights commission; you have to be a real woman.
