Hallan carbonizada a la joven transexual Paulett González, Reina de Belleza Gay en 2015 de México

Luis Jean González Virgen, de 24 años y known as1 (see entry 1 in the analysis) Paulett, era oriunda de Puerto Vallarta y llevaba desde principios de junio desaparecida cuando fue a pasar unos días junto a otra chica transexual a Irapuato, en el estado de Guanajuato, en el centro-norte. Sus padres identificaron a la víctima tras realizar las pruebas genéticas para determinar su identidad porque el cuerpo estaba completamente carbonizado. Se prevé que el cuerpo sea entregado a Their Families y estos la trasladen al balneario del Pacífico de Puerto Vallarta. Tras darse a conocer la noticia, el muro de su perfil de Facebook se ha llenado de mensajes de condolencia para los familiares y dedicatorias cariñosas hacia Paulett, a quienes sus amigos y conocidos definen como un ser "carismático, sencillo y amable". Según comentó al medio NNC la presidenta de la Asociación Civil Ser libre, Mara Rojo, la joven fue brutally2 (see point 2 in the analysis) asesinada y posteriormente, quemada, por lo que no descarta la posibilidad de que se trate de un crimen por su gender identity. La homophobia y la transfobia son un grave problema en México, pues se contabilizan 1.310 asesinados desde 1995 hasta abril de 2016; 1.021 hombres gais, 265 trans women y 24 mujeres.

How to read this rating

  • It has a yellowish detail, shown below. They take points off, but they are not enough to call it a “sensationalist article”: that happens when sensationalism sets the tone of the whole article. In the statistics it counts among articles “with some sensationalist detail”.
  • Why is the rating high? What the article does well, such as naming the person’s identity, giving context or echoing the demand for justice, offsets part of what takes points off. It never erases it: an article with flags does not reach 100.

What is worth changing

  1. Name and gender …Reina de Belleza Gay en 2015 de México · Luis Jean González Virgen, de 24 años y known as Paulett, era oriunda de Puerto Vallarta y llevaba desde principios de junio desaparecida… See it in the text If that was their name, it isn’t a nickname: use it as their name.
  2. Sensationalism …al medio NNC la presidenta de la Asociación Civil Ser libre, Mara Rojo, la joven fue brutally asesinada y posteriormente, quemada, por lo que no descarta la posibilidad de que se… See it in the text It aims for shock value. Describe the facts soberly.

What it does well

  • Names gender identity
  • Uses “trans woman”, “trans man” or “trans person”
  • Names discrimination
  • Remembers their family and networks

What it claims

What the article says, fact-checked

In analyzing the memo, Turing reviews the figures, laws, and cases he claims and what the organizations, legislators, and authorities he cites say, and compares them to Memorial, Legislative Observatory, and published verifications.

INTERNET ARCHIVE · Wayback Machine

Backed up on archive.org

Internet Archive, an independent digital library, saved its own copy on its servers on November 11, 2026, 09:15 (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.
