Could You Go to Jail One Day for Transphobia?

 It seems simple enough.  Maybe you were debating with a friend on social media and said, "Women and men can't simply change their DNA with a surgery and hormones!"  Then someone reads it and forwards it around and soon you have the police knocking on your door saying they have a complaint about your transphobic comments.

That's exactly what is starting to happen.  Maybe not in America YET....but when the Democrats get back in power you can bet they will do everything they can to make it happen here.

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.

Pause and consider the gravity of that. Ten years. For speech. For opinion. For belief.

According to ADF International, even the judge has acknowledged the posts appear to reflect personal opinion rather than discriminatory intent. Yet the machinery of prosecution grinds forward anyway, fueled by a legal doctrine born when the Supreme Federal Tribunal ruled in 2019 that homophobia and transphobia should be treated as racism under existing law. With that single judicial stroke, categories of speech became potential crimes--without legislators ever voting to create such statutes.

This is how freedom erodes in the modern age: not with tanks in the streets, but with rulings in courtrooms.

The world only started paying attention after Elon Musk amplified discussion of the case online. That fact alone should trouble anyone who believes moral clarity should not depend on algorithmic virality. Why did it take a billionaire's repost for millions to notice that a woman could be imprisoned for stating a view shared by countless religious believers? Where is the roar of protest from churches, seminaries, and Christian leaders who have long warned that freedom of conscience is fragile?

Silence, in moments like this, is not neutrality. It is surrender.

This is not an isolated tremor. Pastor Douglas Baptista previously faced criminal charges for publishing a book explaining a traditional Christian understanding of sexuality. Those charges were dropped--but the warning shot had already been fired. The message was unmistakable: certain beliefs, if spoken aloud, may draw the attention of prosecutors.

Columnist Mary Anastasia O'Grady of the Wall Street Journal argues that cases like this reveal a judiciary accumulating extraordinary power--effectively shaping law, enforcing it, and judging it. Whether one agrees fully or not, the trajectory is impossible to ignore. When courts become arbiters of acceptable opinion, the boundary between justice and ideology begins to dissolve.

Supporters of such prosecutions often insist they are protecting dignity and preventing harm. But history teaches a sobering truth: once governments claim authority to criminalize viewpoints, they rarely stop with one category. Today it may be gender doctrine. Tomorrow it could be political dissent. Next year it might be religious orthodoxy itself. The principle is what matters. If the state can jail someone for holding the "wrong" belief, no belief is truly safe.

The danger is not disagreement. Free societies thrive on disagreement. The danger is enforced agreement.

Remember a few years ago in California when the nation was trying to decide if gay marriage was going to become the law of the land?  One CEO in California had donated money to a group that was fighting for traditional marriage to stay the same...one man and one woman.

When years later some hackers hacked into the database of donors they published that had given money to the cause.  He lost his job.  So it's already here.  What will change is the scope and topics that will get you in trouble.

One day, when the world turns on Christianity even more, you could be fined or jailed when they discover that you gave money to your local church if that church happens to preach that "Jesus is the ONLY way to salvation."
