I’m furious that the only politician who even acknowledges how heinous the gender ideology is is the PPC leader (and can’t vote for him because I disagree on a lot of things—maybe I should become a single issue voter). Maybe he feels courageous about it because he’s got nothing to lose. He’s around retirement age and is probably financially set for retirement from his long political career. His party has little to lose as they don’t have a single seat in parliament.
All these other politicians who say they care about women’s rights but stay silent about women having no access to single sex spaces just disgust me. You were voted to look after Canada, and you’re treating women as 2nd class citizens. We don’t matter to you.
I just watched the beginning of an interview with the Canadian kid who was denied education for protesting males in female bathrooms at his school (the girls were too terrified to protest, but they quietly complained to peers—and he was one of the peers to do something about it).
The school didn’t expel him but he’s not allowed to show up for his education. (And though conservatives love to shout “just home school,” that’s not the answer. We pay taxes so that children can get an education beyond what a parent can provide by themselves. Yes, I know about homeschool coops, but that’s not the point. We pay taxes so that students get access to teachers who’ve been trained to a standard and get students ready to attend university if that’s where they want to go.)
Good on the kid for standing up for women, but he’s missing out on his education.
I’m pissed with Canada. Children aren’t allowed to complain of wrongdoing without having their entire future taken away from them. He might have lost any hope of attending university now. Yes, the trades are still an option but it’s not for everyone. I’ve seen some truly incompetent people who should not be handling physical tools.
I can just imagine what it would be like for a girl to complain. Her whole future is lost. While there are some women in the trades, let’s not pretend that it’s women friendly. Women can’t bear the same physical toll, the tools are designed for man hands and man strength, and doing house calls as a lone female technician is way more risky.
Do you know how many technicians I’ve called to my home? Plumbing, electrical, household appliances, etc… You know what they all had in common? They were all men who came alone. Why? Because they didn’t fear for their safety, so they could make house calls and not split the pay with a partner who tags along just for safety in numbers. They could charge competitive pricing rates because they show up alone.
Thanks for reading my rant that went all over the place.
I’m in a really bad place right now because I believe Canada will be the absolute last country to find its senses. Somebody on Ovarit pointed out how detransitioners may not have a voice in Canada because with the new euthanasia terms, Canada will probably kill all the detransitioners who will suffer not only depression but from the future physically disabling conditions which healthcare can’t fix. It sounds absurd until you remember that poor people were approved for euthanasia because they couldn’t afford housing. Canada is building a track record of killing anyone that inconveniences them.
I've concluded that as long as gender identity remains written into law, all other rights that conflict with it will be suspended. Regardless of if it's unconstitutional or denies basic rights like education or freedom of speech. Canada is ideologically captured and it appears as if even people who are supposed to know and respect the law are unable to apply basic logic to see how gender identity legislation violates the basic rule of law. Just as how doctors deny biology, psychologists deny rules of best practice, schools deny truth and apparently even religious bodies deny their own religious belief. Gender ideology is the new state religion and it supercedes all. The only thing we can hope is that a few lawsuits go through and that at least some of the judges are sane.
