Haha. What pathetic idiots. So (among other idiocies) it is criminal to say that abusing your child through transexual transformation is child abuse? What fascist fools.

It’s the beginning of the end of free thought, as such thought becomes a crime.

Not while we still have the freedom to act. Boycott their products.

I’ve been hoping that Trump et al. would reverse this insanity, which was thrust on the military as one of Obama’s parting shots.

All Army personnel, civilian and military, are required to take “transgender” training by the end of the month.

“Transgender” or not, there is no way I’m going to use the gym if men are using the women’s locker room. I change clothes at the gym; sometimes I shower there. I do *not* want a man in my locker room.

I imagine that sexual predators will be the first to take advantage of the “transgender” policies. The reality is that cross-dressing is a sexual fetish; why *any* sexual fetish should be awarded the status of a civil right, especially in the military, is beyond me.

They are indeed becoming more ridiculous that your average Mondy Python comedy skit.

It is criminalized here through bureaucracies like each state’s Human Rights Commission.

Went to a wedding in Ottawa in 2012. At night the streets in from of Parliament were chock full of “Je me souviens” plated cars, like an invasion. The Muslim quarter (drove into it by accident) was like the worst of Marrakesh.

My first trip to Canada and probably my last.

Exactly. So called ‘civil rights’ is largely used in this manner. Whose civil rights? Do we all equally have these civil rights?

It’s not all bad news, some Canadians want to push back on this, and it has happened before that Orwellian law passed by a Liberal government was then later repealed by a Conservative government. The Conservative Party at this point has just come out of a leadership campaign and it will be a few months before this matter gets in front of a policy convention, but I expect it will become a party platform to repeal or at least tone down some of the language in the legislation. As things stand now, it is still generally safe legally to make your criticism of gender identity politics either religious or philosophical. As in your own country there is a legal climate that has shifted far to the left but actual enforcement of these laws is relatively confined to a few test cases (I was involved in one or two myself), and the pattern of judicial results is rather mixed.

From my perspective, it’s not valid to suggest that Canada would be some sort of threat to American values on matters of gender identity politics, the main push for all of this seems to be originating in American university campuses and the entertainment industry. The most important fact to keep in mind about globalism is that its most active supporters live in the U.S.A. and operate in plain sight with the backing of one of the two political parties and considerable support from the other main party.

The real truth of the matter is that we are all facing the same thought police in one form or another.

There is no free speech (and therefore free thought) in Canada.

I have had many Canadians tell me they have free speech rights but they do not.

It is relative.
Relatively speaking we have the most free speech compared to other countries in the world ... as long as we can keep it.

It baffles me how they come up with this stuff. Most every other European language uses gender declensions including German. Which English doesn’t do, including the impersonal pronoun ,thee, and thou, which it dropped. So are supposed to adapt these silly rules to these other languages ?

. You're right in french each noun is either masculine or feminine and unlike english the definitive articles " A " and "The" denotes masculine or feminine, presumably they will have to change to gender neutral definitive articles, may I suggest "Li" for "The".
