Just your average awakened Canadian elementary teacher, keeping gender ideology and critical race theory out of our public schools on the daily! ๐จ๐ฆ๐ชโ๏ธ
The Government finally admits that the clot shot c o v i d 1 9 jab KILLED AMERICAN CHILDREN!
Let the truth be told though the Heavens Burn.
Fiat justitia, ruat caelum.
'He has a point, but he's too blunt.'
From the start, a key tactic of the gender identitarians has been linguistic prescription, and it's proved shockingly successful. Trans activists' shibboleths and euphemisms have been allowed to penetrate the upper echelons of our culture with devastating consequences to freedom of speech and belief. Huge swathes of liberal media, the arts, academia and publishing have thrown themselves with gusto into the defence of a quasi-religious belief causing provable real world harm, and in their arrogance they've been outraged when people they assumed were part of their In Group have refused to march meekly along in lock step.
Time and again, I've seen and heard well-educated people who consider themselves critical thinkers and bold truth-tellers squirm when put on the spot. 'Well, yes, maybe there's something in what you're saying, but it's hateful/provocative/rude not to use the approved language/pretend people can literally change sex/keep drawing attention to medical malpractice or opportunistic sexual predators. Why can't you be nice? Why won't you pretend? We thought you were one of us! Don't you realise we have sophisticated new words and phrases these days that obviate the necessity of thinking any of this through?'
As the vibe shifts, and a lot of people in the elite professions start trying to reposition themselves, the obvious place to start is, 'it's not that I couldn't see your point, but did you have to say it that way?' We dissenters were supposed to find a way of questioning the chemical castration of children while calling it 'gender affirming care.' We were meant to defend the rights of vulnerable women while also using female pronouns for male rapists. We should have found a way to discuss fairness for women and girls in sport, while pretending that the ineradicable physical advantage men have over women doesn't exist.
Either a man can be a woman, or he can't. Either women deserve rights, or they don't. Either there's a provable medical benefit to transitioning children, or there isn't. Either you're on the side of a totalitarian ideology that seeks to impose falsehoods on society through the threat of ostracisation, shaming and violence, or you're not. The alternative to being 'blunt' - using accurate, factual language to describe what was going on - was to surrender freedom of speech and espouse ideological jargon that obfuscated the issues and the harms caused. We've always needed blunt people, but we need them most of all when being asked to bow down to a naked emperor.
And we see the entitled, bratty, tantruming little Veruca Salts who believe that only they, and those who share their luxury beliefs, should be permitted to publish books.
Women are organising. Now is the time for every political party to decide whether it wishes to protect the rights of 51% of the population, or continue to pander to gender activists.

The point is not that men who say they are women are a particular danger to women; the point is that men who say they are women are still men, and womenโs privacy and dignity (and sometimes safety too) are compromised if we pretend otherwise.
It still amazes me that wanting safety and fairness for girls and women is your idea of hate. It still amazes me that people are cheering on a medical scandal, despite mounting evidence of harm. It still amazes me how cowardly and complicit so many, including you, have been.
๐จNEW: Joe Rogan and Dr. Phil discuss the American medical system's endorsement of hormonal therapy and sexual reassignment surgery for children.
"I thought the deal was first do no harm."
"They choose words like 'gender-affirming care,' but really what they're talking about is hormonal therapy or sexual reassignment surgery on children."
"I have never seen those organizations sign off on anything with less information as to whether or not it does long-term harm in my life."
"European countries, Sweden, Norway, they've all stopped doing it because they say we cannot say in good conscious that this does no harm because it does harm."
"You can talk kids into almost anything. You can talk little kids into believing in Santa Claus."
"The percentage of girls claiming to be transgender has gone up, by some reports, 800% or 1000% over the last several years."
"I think a lot of it is owing to social media platforms and the internet... You read about it. You see it on social media. And, you think, well, I can distinguish myself in this way. There is a social contagion effect. So people can jump on the bandwagon."
"But they've done things that can't be reversed. I think that's really tragic."
