Buenos Aires Vicejefa Clara Muzzio Stands by 'Two Sexes' Claim

Her refusal to retract on July 5 has intensified debate over sexual education, identity rules and political pressure in the city.

Overview

  • Clara Muzzio publicly reaffirmed on July 5 that “there are two sexes, male and female” and said she will not retract the remark.
  • She posted a long defense on X in which she called current Educación Sexual Integral (ESI) ideologically driven and said critics responded with insults and threats.
  • Muzzio argued that ESI has been “desvirtuada” by identity doctrines and linked the program to rising STI indicators among youth and to natality trends, claims presented by outlets as her assertions with limited sourcing.
  • Several members of the Legislatura porteña urged her to retract the comments and activist Esteban Paulón sent a carta documento that warned of a possible criminal complaint for discrimination.
  • Coverage frames the dispute as part of broader local policy fights including a 2025 Ciudad rule on DNI sex changes and differing emphases in outlets that range from focusing on her defense to highlighting calls for legal or political sanctions.
