“I asked him if, while I was waiting, I could do other procedures at the Therapeutic Diagnostic Center, DDT (rays), and at that moment he began to treat me as ‘sir’ and ‘him’, demanding that I leave. He did not respect my gender identity, he was getting closer and closer to me. I felt harassed, so when I pushed him, his glasses fell to the ground, “said the victim.
“Some guards insisted that I leave. I used to be ‘horse man’, ‘sir’ and ‘fag’. They followed me down the stairs, stomping, pretending to be a horse. As they turned, they shouted “look for the man, look for the man,” said the complainant.
In addition, he recalled that “a pediatric officer sympathized with me, took me to an office to make a claim. But then the guard arrived, saying that I had attacked him, because I was scared I decided to leave the compound. “
The woman specified that at the entrance, and between three guards, “they reduce me, they throw me to the ground, they hit me with kicking and spitting combos. With my cell phone I tried to record some of the assault. The people present and who saw this helped me a lot, they showed solidarity with me. Then the head of the claims office came out. There I was able to enter and leave the claim and they just took me seriously, I am very sorry ”. The victim filed a complaint at the Third Police Station in Santiago.
He Movilh spokesperson, Óscar Rementería, He assured that “this is an extreme, horrific abuse. No conflict, no disagreement justifies insults based on gender identity, nor less beatings or ridicule ”.
Along the same lines, he added that “we are in the presence of a transphobic, macho, cowardly, misogynistic act that violates the Zamudio Law, the Gender Identity Law and, by the way, the Minsal circulars that oblige all officials who work in precincts of health to respect the sex and social name of trans people ”.
“Today we have asked the San Juan de Dios Hospital Directorate to thoroughly investigate these, punish those responsible shortly and train each and every one of its workers on the human rights of LGBTI people. We expect a response shortly ”, Rementería concluded.
