CWN Editor's Note: A Mexican court has upheld the conviction of a former legislator for “political violence,” because he referred to an opponent as “a man who self-describes as a woman.”

Rodrigo Ivan Cortes was ordered to apologize online for his Twitter comments saying that a current lawmaker, Slam Luevano, is a man. The comments came after Luevano introduced a proposal to classify Christian teachings on sexuality as “hate speech.”
