On September 20th, I went downtown to show support for parents’ right to know what is happening to their children in schools. The rainbow brigade had a crowd in front of Queens Park and I saw no sign of the parents there, so I went around to the back of the building. How telling that parents were pushed to the back by the alphabet mafia, which was a deliberate tactic by union officials whose plans to disrupt the parents’ peaceful protest were leaked online. When I found the parents they were already surrounded by the people from woke crowd who encroached into the rally to stir up trouble. I had seen no sign of conservatives at the LGBT+ rally I’d passed through to get here.

I asked some of them why they were encroaching into the space where parents had rallied and a young man screamed “because FUCK YOU” inches away from my face and dashed off as if he was afraid a 59-year-woman with a disability might somehow pose a physical threat to him. These Male Privilege Activists (I refuse to use the misleading term “trans rights activists”) often advocate punching TERFS (people, mostly women, who defend women’s rights), so they might well be afraid of getting back what they gleefully claim trans & their allies should dish out.  I pointed out to those still in earshot that it was odd that “trans women,” (like the young man in pink) who presumably want to persuade people they’re “women” (spoiler alert: they are not) so often behave like violent men.

One girl held a sign saying “RIGHT WING…” (yada yada) and I asked why she made that assumption. She was clearly biased against religious people and claimed that I was supporting calling trans children demons because one person in the crowd had made some comment to that effect. If somebody thinks trans people are demons that doesn’t mean they would be wrong to assert puberty blockers do more harm than good, which is what the science is now saying with increasing urgency, or that parents have the right to be informed if their children are claiming to be trans at school. I patiently explained why purity tests are for suckers. If I claim a cloudless mid-day sky appears blue and Satan himself crawls out of the pits of hell to agree with me, that doesn’t make me a Satanist, and it doesn’t mean the sky is not blue. My words, however, went in one ear and sailed right out the other, so after pointing out the lawsuits from detransitioners that are ending the affirmation model of “care” in the UK and Scandinavia will be coming to Canada next, I just moved on.

I don’t hate anyone for being part of the LGBT+ community and I don’t care how many other letters it is currently fashionable to tack on. Interesting nobody adds “MAP” to their alphabet soup recipe, but I guess that’s why the “+” is there. I have no use for people who disrespect women’s fundamental human rights, though, and there seem to be loads of self-righteous virtue signallers in Canada who don’t even try to understand how women’s rights have been shredded by policies the government implemented without the knowledge or consent of the electorate. It really is sad how many of these deluded people are females who think they are virtuous because they are “kind” to men who claim they feel like women, but they mostly don’t understand autogynephilia. I feel sorry for them because they’re likely to feel foolish one day, when they realize how they’ve been deceived and how their actions have harmed women and girls.

I don’t hate them, but I’ll admit I have no respect for certain gay male misogynists who clearly do not give a fuck about the health or safety of female humans. One half of a gay couple I spoke to kept repeating the mantra “what about trans women” every time I explained the facts about what allowing males into single-SEX spaces for females actually does to women and girls. He refused to admit that humans could not change sex. When I pointed out the fact that hormones and cosmetic surgery on genitals doesn’t alter the skeleton, the myriad physiological advantages males have, or the male DNA in every cell nucleus, out came the “but gender” dissembling. Gender identity is not why trans-identifying males are unwelcome in female spaces, SEX differences are the reason. This man trotted out the usual myths as if we didn’t already know males do NOT lose all their strength when they transition. He even admitted he helps trans identify men retain those physical advantages. The idea those advantages increase the risk of harm to women & girls does not seem to have ever crossed his very male mind.

When I stated categorically males are unwelcome in single-sex spaces for females for a reason, and that medical “transition” does not remove this reason, he claimed the poor “trans women” were in danger in the men’s room. I asked him to show me evidence so he pulled out his phone and the first example he found was a male who was confronted for trespassing in a female facility. He was not able to find an example of a man who was attacked in the men’s room for presenting as a woman. I hope that when he has time, he will continue to search for this imaginary trans victim. When he fails to find the exemplar he seeks, perhaps he’ll concede that I was correct in asserting that men are safer in the men’s room no matter how they identify. The media will never admit this on the evening news because the cold hard facts do not support the false narrative that these men are so “vulnerable” we should ignore serious risks to the safety of women and little girls to “validate” what for increasing numbers of them is nothing more than a sexual fetish, a paraphilia, which this self-described “well-informed” man claimed he’d never heard of.

When I explained that the disproportionate male propensity for violence is not altered by surgery or even ten years on hormones, he didn’t seem able to take that in. I explained the flood of stress hormones I experience if a man comes into a women’s locker room where I’m undressing is not a “social construct” but he didn’t seem to get that either. I explained the only predator I’m likely to encounter in an urban environment is a human male, which is one reason single-sex spaces are so important. He suggested males could be trained out of their base, rapey instincts. He understood that “CIS” sex offenders pretending to be trans was a problem, but he had no solution. I asked him how anybody was supposed to differentiate between opportunistic sex offenders and people with gender dysphoria. This gay man, who will never understand what it means to live in a female body, had no answer. We used to have a simple and effective solution: keep all males out of single-sex spaces for females. Again he tried to persuade me that I should think about the feelings of the poor, vulnerable men who pretend to be women. He displayed not a bit of sympathy for the trauma a little girl would experience with a man’s penis in front of her face.

At this point I realized this misogynist would never give any consideration to the safety of women or girls. I have been driven out of participation in public life by men like him and the deluded females who call themselves “trans allies.” I can’t safely use the locker room at my local swimming pool because a man could enter the locker room at any time when I’m undressed and if I shout at him to leave I’d be accused of being a bigot. If I called the police to report the crimes of voyeurism and indecency if a man waves his penis around in front of little girls in the women’s locker room, and the sex offender claims to be trans, the officer might not even make an arrest.  How did such callous indifference to the basic safety needs of female people become mainstream in Canada? Eventually, I just told him “shame on you” and walked away. If he reads this, I hope he responds in the comments and shares the results of his further research.

At this point I needed to make my way home to deal with other obligations. The rainbow brigade had left their starting point at the front of Queen’s Park where they’d arrived early to “take up space” and prevent parents from exercising our right to free speech by shouting them down, and they were now flooding into the space where the parents had gathered. There was an inadequate line of police between the two groups. As I walked past they were chanting “Protect trans kids.” They were missing something, though, so for what its worth I added my voice to complete that sentence with “from groomers!” because that is what most detransitioners say they’d experienced. After a few rounds of:

“Protect trans kids” “FROM GROOMERS”

“Protect trans kids” “FROM GROOMERS”

… their chant petered out.

There were a half a dozen cops in front of Queens’ Park chatting with each other without much to do, so I pointed out the rainbow crowd were all moving to the other side and their presence would be needed there. Having done my civic duty, I continued home.

I went to support parents who love their children and want to protect them from a pernicious ideology that is based on lies. Here’s the cold, hard, truth Kellie-Jay Keen points out:

• No woman has a penis.
• No man has a vagina.
• Non-binary is nonsense.
• Transitioning children is profound abuse.

I will add more hard truths:

• Words have meanings and meanings matter.
• Cross-sex hormones & surgery do not make males less of a threat to females.
• Humans cannot change sex. “Sex change operation” was always a lie, as we’ve understood the Y chromosome since 1905.
• Nobody should ever have been allowed to falsify sex data on government records or documents.
• Men who claim to be women are not women and are they not more vulnerable than women and girls.
• Gender ideology harms females disproportionately and is therefore unlawful sex discrimination in violation of Section 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

The Canadian government and many provincial governments have implemented policies that represent unlawful sex discrimination against women, in violation of the Charter, and these errors must be corrected. For example, Statistics Canada is welcome to track crimes by gender if they also track sex accurately, but they are hurting women and rendering crime stats useless by allowing male criminals to self-identify as women, as they’ve done since 2019. I’m sorry if you find these truths painful. I’m sorry if you think my words are rude, but to quote the late, great, Magdalen Berns: “I’d rather be rude than a fucking liar.”

There is a growing body of film & television criticism that eviscerates work that pushes a woke agenda, but we still get content that fails in the opposite direction. Puss In Boots: The Last Wish suffers from this flaw. The film’s villain, Jack Horner, has a mob of underlings called the Baker’s Dozen and nearly half of them appear to be female, which is pretty much what you’d expect these days, along with the usual ethnic and LGB diversity.  When they are attacked and one is, ahem, skeletized, Jiminy Cricket says: “Aren’t ya gonna help him Jack? You’re losing a lot of men” as if there were no women there.   

Jack Horner replies “I’m not really stressing about the manpower…” and I was pulled right out of the film by a clear recollection that most corporations stopped using language like this by the 1980’s. How hard would it be to say you’re losing a lot of people? How much brain power would it take to say you’re not stressing about your staff, your minions, your personnel, your crew, or any number of other gender neutral collective nouns? Before all the “misgendering is violence” nonsense emerged a few years ago, women had reached a point where our existence in the workplace was acknowledged instead of ignored. Ignoring women isn’t violence, but it is certainly disrespectful and a huge step backwards.

A few minutes later Jack says to Goldi “Stop throwing my men at me” – even though the first baker lobbed was obviously female. Sure, she looked like a butch lesbian with her purple hair and sturdy frame, but are we to assume that anyone who conforms to that stereotype now must be a trans man? She wasn’t wearing a binder. How confused to you want children to be?    

 In a later scene, most of the Baker’s Dozen plummet to their deaths and Jack responds with “Well, you know what they say – can’t bake a pie without losing a dozen men. Ha ha ha.” The last baker clinging to the cliff is a woman. Instead of pulling her up he asks”You’re not chatty, are you?” She says nothing, she just shakes her head. This is illustrative of the stereotypical gender role the film teaches children that women are expected to play.

If you want to argue that it makes sense for the villain to behave badly, how do you explain that the conscience – Jiminy Cricket – never calls him out for this blatant sexism? Did such an explanation end up on the cutting room floor? The film is getting very good reviews overall. I guess a spoon full of sugar helps the baked in misogyny go down.  It should surprise no one that the writers, directors and editor are all men, as are 3 of the 4 producers. Representation matters because it can prevent mistakes.

Why is it suddenly OK to erase women again? We knew sexism had come back into fashion when the trans community began viciously attacking women for daring to suggest that we are a specific demographic that does not include men. Why is the same old garden variety sexism Hollywood abandoned decades ago suddenly acceptable on the silver screen again? I think women who are paying attention will know the answer. The war on women never actually ended, and likely never will. 

I see you’re having a hard time on social media. A mother told you to stop trying to communicate with minors without parental consent. Here concerns were and are valid and not just because the optics are not good. If you encourage a child to keep secrets from their parents, even if your intentions are pure, you are still making them more vulnerable to abuse by others.

You are not a licensed psychotherapist. A therapist has to go through therapy themselves in order to obtain accreditation. If you had been through such a process, you would likely have obtained some valuable insights about your own personality that might make you a better coach. If your therapist is highly competent, they may have been able to diagnose a potential personality disorder that your videos suggest you may have. A member of my family is a narcissist, but he has made the effort to understand his condition and to try to ameliorate it. Personality disorders cannot be cured, but they can be treated with some success.   

Most narcissists are unable to consider the possibility that they are wrong about anything, even in the face of evidence. You’re probably smarter than most of them though. You should be smart enough to realize that the optics of sending a veiled threat to a woman who criticized your behaviour is, shall we say, sub-optimal, especially since your fans are sending disturbing threats that they may harm her innocent daughters.

If you want the internet to get off your back, you should make the effort to tell your fans that targeting this woman and her daughters is unacceptable. You ought to make it clear that you don’t condone criminal harassment or abuse. If you cannot do that, you should consider finding a good therapist to deal with your anger management issues, because I don’t think your brand will survive unless you get over your sense of being the one and only victim in this situation and rise above your negative emotions.   

Karma is a great teacher. May your outcomes be commensurate with your efforts.

Peace.
