MAKASSAR - The Barru Police Team, South Sulawesi (Sulsel) broke up a transgender gathering. The activity was disbanded because it violated the COVID-19 health protocol.

"It was said not to do activities with many people called transgender people. The name is a transgender, many people want to see it beforehand, don't make an event because it's still a pandemic, "said Head of Public Relations of the Barru Police, Kompol Sainuddin to reporters, Thursday, November 19.

Sainuddin said the activity was actually a thanksgiving event held in Cilellang Village, Barru on Wednesday, November 18 evening.

"There are those lined up, funny ones. To make people laugh, entertain, "he said.

Apart from violating health protocols, the police also stopped transgender events because they could potentially invite large numbers of people to come.

"Because the gatherings are like that anyway. Only the activities are stopped because they don't invite many people. Know that the name is transgender, while on August 17, many spectators line up because they want to see, because the warias are usually the last line in Barru," he continued. .
