“We live in identity-obsessed times. Everyone seems to be a demi-queer, pan-sapio something or other… Adoption of pronouns that are not representative of biological sex is a way to gain entry into a group identity. Prior to this pronoun change, Smith was part of the group ‘male’. This is a group that suffers from lots of bad press these days, and it’s not fashionable to go around identifying as male if in fact you actually are male. But, with a little switch, Smith can go from being part of a group with which he would rather not be identified, to identifying with a group that gets love, not hate.” – Libby Emmons and Barrett Wilson, “The obsession with pronouns is stripping us of our individuality” – The Post Millennial, September 30th, 2019.

“Turner’s complaint was against the City of Ottawa. She claimed that the city’s pedestrian light signals discriminated against her because the signal indicating it’s safe to cross looked like a white able-bodied cis-hetero man, whereas she identifies as a ‘black, lesbian-feminist, female trans-gender and an advocate for the disabled.’ These are the complaints that the HRT now spends time and money on.” – Eugene Fernandes, “Let’s abolish Human Rights Tribunals!” – The Post Millennial, August 2nd, 2019.

“On May 1st, the CBC released a trailer for the full-length documentary, Drag Kids. The Documentary, as the name clearly suggests, follows the stories of several different children who participate in the ‘art form of drag’… In the write-up for video, the CBC explains to the viewer that ‘as an art form, drag has always been about breaking down barriers, exploring new territory and daring to do the unexpected… A new type of queen is emerging on the scene: she’s fierce, she’s living in a time of unprecedented access to queer culture and she’s younger than ever before,’ writes the CBC…” – Roberto Wakerell-Cruz, “Why does the CBC keep pushing Drag Kids?” – The Post Millennial, July 5th, 2019.

“In a May 30, 2019 ruling in JY v. Various Waxing Salons, the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal expressed its concern about the ‘rights’ of transgender women to access ‘gender-affirming’ care such as waxing, which the Tribunal says is ‘critical,’ even if this is ‘a very intimate service that is sometimes performed by women who are themselves vulnerable.’ The Tribunal states that JY has a ‘genuine grievance’ about ‘pervasive discrimination against transgender women,’ and this ‘is the reason that the Tribunal exists’.” – John Carpay, President of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, “The ‘human right’ to compel women to wax male genitalia” – The Post Millennial, June 27th, 2019.

“By mid-March, N’s parents could see the lessons were having an impact on their daughter, as she began spontaneously and repeatedly asking them why her identity as a girl was ‘not real.’ She asked if she could ‘go to a doctor’ about the fact that she was a girl… (the teacher), they could see, was very committed to the teaching of gender fluidity as a reflection of ‘a change within society.’ She told Ms Buffone that gender fluidity was the School Board policy, that some children are struggling with the idea that gender is binary and confirmed that the topic of sex change had come up for discussion. She did not appear unduly concerned about N’s personal distress, and did nothing to affirm N’s female identity.” – Barbara Kay, “Ontario family files human rights complaint after six-year-old girl upset by gender theory in school” – The Post Millennial, June 17th, 2019.

“The Reverend Peter Hughes of St Alban’s Church in Wickersley has been condemned by local politicians after making the remarks in a three-page article in a parish magazine, where he also described Government plans for children to learn about lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersexual relationships as part of compulsory lessons from September 2020 as a ‘form of child grooming… The UK government’s proposed Relationships and Sexual Education programme is nothing but state sponsored child abuse… This sexual indoctrination of young children prepares them for early sexual experimentation, normalises it and, in doing so, opens the door to sexual predators.” – Chris Burn, “Outrage as Yorkshire vicar calls LGBTI lessons state-sponsored child abuse” – Yorkshire Post, June 9th, 2019.
