Part of a ruling in a discrimination lawsuit against a transphobic school trustee. "Calling transness βgender ideologyβ allows anti-trans activists to hide behind a veneer of reasonableness. It allows them to say, as Mr. Neufeld did in his statements as well as at the hearing of this complaint, that they are not attacking human beings. They are simply opposing a set of ideas. But behind this insidious veneer is the proposition that transness is not real. Such phrasing can make it easier to ignore that trans people are human beings. Referring to βgender ideologyβ or βtransgenderismβ β β-ismβ denoting a belief or ideology such as capitalism or communism β pushes the idea that trans people have an agenda rather than being just another demographic group. As this decision illustrates, such terms can create the conditions for discrimination and hatred to flourish."

"I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office. What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities. In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation. Let me state clearly: the law must take its course. As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter. Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all." Charles R

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."
Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.
It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.
Our latest.
Conservative MP Michelle Rempel is an avowed gun lobby supporter. CPC MP Cheryl Gallant did not join her community in mourning the triple femicides in '15 because she didn't want to piss off the gun lobby.
There are people sitting in the House right now who support the nonsense David lists below.
This is genuinely insane, I clicked to see the years expecting the low part to be 70s or maybe 90s but its 2015!!!!! The entire anti trans panic is a decade old

Please check on the trans people in your life today.
The anti trans rhetoric is everywhere.
Those on the right are purposefully stoking fear and division in an attempt to destroy an entire marginalized group.
We canβt let them get away with it.
Trans rights are human rights.
Trans ideology or gender ideology are not a real thing.
These are transphobic and homophobic dog whistles.
If you see anyone using these phrases. Confront them, especially if youβre cis gendered and straight.
Decorative romantic elements like hearts with the words "Stalking is not romantic" and the subtitle Canadian Anti-Stalking Association

Obsession is not romantic β

True romance is built on consent, respect and trust - not intimidation and fear.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.
He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. Heβs referenced 38,000 times.
Best bet is to presume anyone calling for us to just move on from the Epstein files absolutely knows why they are important and they want that truth suppressed.

This message greeted Canadianπ¨π¦Olympians at their home away from home.
Some countries greet their athletes with nationalism.
Canada greets them with belonging.
That's the Canada I believe in. We're a country that leads with kindness, not fear.
Proud of this. Proud of us.π
Itβs weird how, long as they are, the Epstein Files feel like a quick synopsis of, pretty much, forever.
This is excellent.
The colonial imperialist west shouldnβt be forgiven for a lot of things, and the crimes against Haiti and her people are one of them.
