What is in the headline counts double: it is what most people read and what gets shared.

This article is a source for a case in the record. We check whether it names Luisa Fernanda Hernández Hernández with their name and gender, as stated in the record. The legal name is never shown.

What is worth changing

  1. Name and gender …de la colonia Valle Dorado y trabajaba en una fábrica de Calzado. · La víctima era un transexual y las autoridades indagan si el automóvil era de su propiedad. · Su causa de muerte fue… Why we flag it: The masculine article (“el”, “un”) presents as a man someone who may have been a trans woman, and “transexual” used as a noun is a term that’s hardly used today. Write “a trans woman” or “a trans person” (if you don’t know how they identified). It says un transexualBetter sayuna mujer transuna persona trans
  2. Name and gender …que el hombre localizado sin vida la madrugada del domingo en la colonia Loma Dorada, si was murdered. · Con ello, se ha establecido que este hecho, es el primer homicidio registrado el mes… Why we flag it: Changing a trans person’s gender within the same article denies their identity. CONAPRED’s Glossary (2016) and guides for journalists ask to always name them with the gender they lived by. The article names her as a trans woman and here it uses the masculine. Write “fue asesinada”, “fue hallada sin vida”. It says was murderedBetter sayfue asesinadafue hallada sin vida
  3. Nombre y género · revisa · 2 veces · in the headline · counts double Era transexual Men encontrado muerto en un auto · El Ministerio Público ha confirmado que el hombre… Check whether it refers to the victim in the masculine. If she was a trans woman or travesti, use the feminine.
