«Mereces morir “put*”»: los trans-asesinatos en Colombia
Pareciera que en Colombia asesinar una persona trans no sea noticia importante, en el último año son varios los asesinatos que ni siquiera han merecido una nota escrita, visual u oral en un medio de comunicación masiva. La transfobia no solo se evidencia en el asesinato de más de 30 trans en Colombia en 2012 y la falta información a la sociedad, sino también en otras formas en que los crímenes de odio hacen de sus víctimas a las travestis y transexuales, especialmente a quienes transitan de las masculinidades a las feminidades. Ante tal violencia ellas mismas se organizan, las ONG denuncian y el Estado ofrece algunas alternativas; por otra parte tan bien es vedad que sobre el tema muchos/as no saben sobre qué se está hablando.
