Castigan el transfeminicide

Mérida, a 6 de noviembre de 2026.- Luego de la publicación de un decreto en el Diario Oficial de Yucatán, ahora el Código Penal reconoce el transfeminicide como delito y establece multas económicas y penas de prisión.

De acuerdo con el decreto 249, las autoridades tendrán reglas específicas para investigar los asesinatos de trans women y reconocer cuándo una muerte está relacionada con la identidad o expresión de género de la víctima.

El pasado 15 de octubre, el Congreso de Yucatán aprobó por unanimidad incorporar el delito de transfeminicide al Código Penal del estado, con aportaciones de groups y campaigners LGBTTTI.

La iniciativa para reconocer el delito de transfeminicide fue promovida por la diputada de Morena Alba Concepción Cortés, quien señaló que la reforma busca visibilizar la violencia que enfrentan las trans women y establecer herramientas para que las autoridades investiguen estos crímenes con gender perspective y respeto a la identidad de las víctimas.

Ahora, el Código Penal Yucateco establece que comete este delito “quien prive de la vida de forma dolosa a una trans woman o a una persona cuya identidad o expresión de género, real o percibida, esté dentro del espectro femenino, por razones relacionadas con su género”.

Asimismo, la ley contempla nueve circunstancias que pueden ayudar a identificar este tipo de crimen, entre ellas que la víctima haya sufrido violencia sexual, amenazas, agresiones o discriminación por su gender identity, así como que existan antecedentes de violencia por parte del responsable.

También se considera transfeminicide cuando el cuerpo es abandonado o exhibido en un lugar público, o cuando las pertenencias y prendas de la víctima son destruidas o retiradas para ocultar o negar su gender identity.

INTERNET ARCHIVE · Wayback Machine

Backed up on archive.org

Internet Archive, an independent digital library, saved its own copy on its servers on November 7, 2026, 18:40 (UTC). We check its index to confirm it exists before showing it here.

Why does this make it authentic?
  • It is an independent witness. Internet Archive is a non-profit digital library that has preserved the web since 1996. It has no ties to Memoria y Resistencia or to whoever published the content.
  • The copy is theirs, not ours. Their own system captures it, stores it on their servers and stamps it with their own date and time. Neither we nor the publisher can edit it or change its date.
  • Anyone can verify it. It is at a public web.archive.org address that contains the date. Anyone can open it without asking us and compare it with our copy and its fingerprint.
  • It is a recognized reference. Journalists, researchers and lawyers often cite it to show what a page looked like on a given date.
  • Two witnesses that match. Our timestamp and the Internet Archive copy are made separately. If anyone claimed we altered the copy, the archive.org one would disprove it.

Internet Archive and its logo are trademarks of Internet Archive. We use them only to show where the copy is; this is not an endorsement by them.
