Colombia’s married President Gustavo Petro has been accused of having an affair with a transgender newscaster. Surprisingly, he hasn’t denied the accusations but instead has criticized people’s transphobic reactions to the rumors.
Saved you a click.
If you can read Spanish, it is worth the click. His Tweet is actually very good and insinuates a denial while maintaining the focus on rejecting transphobia. His tweet ends with;
Yo soy heterosexual, pero jamás escucharán o leerán de mi una palabra transfóbica. Porque no solo dejaria de ser hombre, sino humano.
I am heterosexual, but you will never hear or read a single transphobic word from me. Because not only would I cease to be a man, but human.
Winning statement. Love the energy
But that’s a transphobic statement. You can be a cis heterosexual man and see a trans woman
he didn’t claim otherwise?
Well not directly but it’s weird that he says he’s heterosexual in this context
Why not?
Why not what?
