Brazil is Roman Catholic, and thanks to the hate speech against transpeople implanted into the Vatican by if former advisor Paul McHugh and disseminated from Pope Benedict XVI, hate crimes and violence against transpeople in Catholic countries such as Brazil has spiked up.
According to local TBLG rights groups in the country, there were over 250 murders in Brazil last year involving TBLG people.
