22.02.2026 10:21 β π 12 π 4 π¬ 0 π 0Excerpt from Chilliwack Teachers' Association v. Neufeld (No. 10), 2026 BCHRT 49: > Calling transness "gender ideology" allows anti-trans activists to hide behind a veneer of reasonableness. It allows them to say ... 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 "gender ideology" or "transgenderism"β"-ism" denoting a belief or ideology such as capitalism or communismβpushes 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.
This seems relevant as a reply to Bindel's garbage. From www.bchrt.bc.ca/law-library/...

Absolutely contemptible.
In which case it's not clear how they can hold that against us and claim that we're failing to deliver an account that's acceptable by standards that they themselves appear more than happy to compromise on.
22.02.2026 05:36 β π 4 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0The only reason for setting the brakes there is that they believe it gets them the categories they want. But then they've already compromised on what was putatively an essential desideratum for any account they'd be willing to accept.

Not all reproducing organisms are anisogamous.
