Modena. Transsexual man beaten.

Giorgio Dell'Amico, president of Arcigay Modena, issued a peremptory condemnation of the beating of a Brazilian transgender man.
«Heterosexual men – says Dell'Amico – feel the need to prevail over trans people.
We're talking about 'transphobia', which is unfortunately very strong.
I would also like to contact this person and ask if he or she needs legal support.
We will take action to provide support to this person and try to protect him as soon as possible.".
The victim is still in hospital in Baggiovara, with a 30-day prognosis.
«"We've been collaborating with that nightclub for several years," the president of Modena's Arcigay explains. "We also try to send messages to help people understand the difficulties transgender people face.
I must also say that the club has always shown great attention to this delicate issue.
The climate, at a national level, is very tense, and this certainly does not help to create a civilized environment.
Even though many years have passed, the climate is still not the best.
I believe it is the lack of laws that protect homosexual people that does not help combat these phenomena of violence.".
