“Last week, at the Women’s Rights Committee, this deputy was insulted, attacked by a person who thinks they have the right to call another deputy ugly, have her hair moisturized, call me ridiculous. Do you think she is free to utter the worst insults because she wears a skirt and hair that isn’t hers?”declared Zanatta in the plenary of the Chamber of Deputies.

The PL deputy also came out in defense of her party colleague, deputy Nikolas Ferreira (PL-MG), which has also had conflicts with Érika Hilton.
“He [Nikolas Ferreira] is getting bigger and bigger because he is the biggest defender of women in this House. He was attacked a lot when he wore a wig, but, you men, if you want to attack women from now on or call a woman ugly, just put on a wig and a skirt and it is approved by the minister for women in the Lula government.”said the congresswoman.
Hilton told Power360 that Zanatta and Nikolas were being transphobic in the plenary “once again”. The deputy has not yet officially commented.
