Councilor Eduardo Codorna from Itapetininga, São Paulo, made headlines with a controversial social media post criticizing the recent appointment of Erika Hilton, a transgender woman, as the head of the Federal Chamber's Women's Rights Commission. In his post, Codorna argued that 'women are losing space to men who identify as women,' reflecting a broader discourse around gender identity and its implications for women's rights and representation. The councilor branded the current cultural shift as the 'Woke culture,' suggesting it has negative impacts on societal norms regarding gender.
