From PNW:
It sounds like something torn from the pages of dystopian fiction: a courtroom, a judge, and a citizen facing years behind bars–not for violence, not for fraud, not for theft, but for stating a belief about biology. Yet this is not fiction. This is happening now to Isadora Borges in Brazil, and if the world shrugs, the precedent could echo across continents like a thunderclap warning too many ignored.

Borges, a 34-year-old veterinary student, stands accused of “transphobia” for social media posts written years ago stating that transgender women are biologically male and that DNA cannot be altered by surgery or hormones. Those statements sparked a complaint from politician Erika Hilton, which in turn triggered a federal criminal case. Prosecutors are pursuing two counts, each carrying potential prison time. Combined, she could lose up to a decade of her life for words typed on a keyboard.
