Protesta de transexuales en la Avenida
El presidente de la organización Transexualidad Clínica de España, Andrés de la Portilla, anunció ayer que instará a los colectivos de transexuales y gays de Sevilla a manifestarse como acto de protesta por la supuesta agresión que tres transexuales sufrieron en pleno centro histórico el miércoles 25 de julio por parte de unos cocheros. El acto está previsto que se celebre en la primera quincena de este mes, aunque aún no tiene fijado una fecha concreta, frente al aparcamiento de coches de caballos de la Avenida de la Constitución donde supuestamente sucedieron los hechos.

El lema de la protesta será Cocheros sí, apaleadores no. La asociación pretende luchar contra las agresiones verbales que este colectivo sufre asiduamente, así como también reivindicar el hecho de que no sean consideradas como una simple falta.

Además, la entidad anunció que su gabinete jurídico estudia la posibilidad de personarse como acusación particular, para "castigar justamente" dicha actitud de transfobia y violencia de género.
