Esteban Paulón, an LGBT deputy in Argentina known for advocating transgender children's rights, has filed complaints against several public figures for accusing him of pedophilia. Paulón reported that Pablo Abrazo, a host of the program Carajo, called him a pedophile on Twitter for promoting "infancias trans" (trans childhoods) and made derogatory remarks related to his sexual orientation. Paulón also announced plans to denounce independent journalist Mariano Pérez, who repeatedly labeled him a pedophile and suggested reviewing his computer. In response, Pérez reaffirmed his stance that sexualizing children is linked to pedophilia. The controversy has drawn political attention, with 42 deputies from Kirchnerism, UCR, and PRO condemning a related incident involving "La Misa del GordoDan_" and disputing claims that Paulón was called a pedophile solely because of his sexual orientation, clarifying it was due to his support for transgender children, including hormone treatments and surgeries. Paulón further criticized President Javier Milei, accusing him of homophobia and cowardice for not explicitly calling him a pedophile despite allegedly holding such beliefs, attributing some attacks to the outlet La Derecha Diario. The dispute highlights ongoing tensions in Argentina surrounding transgender rights and political rhetoric.
