Ontario Human Rights Tribunal rules that a person’s sex is entirely subjective

All a man has to do is declare himself a woman and, hey presto, he is one – in Ontario at least.

The worrying thing about this is that when there is a long queue for the ladies toilets, enterprising females can, by fiat, become temporary men and use the men’s toilets.

From here:

Genital surgery isn’t required for a man to be legally recognized as a woman, the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal says.

Under current law, anyone who wants a change in sex designation on his or her birth certificate must first produce a certificate signed by two medical practitioners affirming that “transsexual surgery” was carried out.

In a decision issued on April 11, the human rights tribunal said the Ontario government must now drop that requirement.

I perceive, therefore I am

Gender Identity Disorder (GID) is a term used by psychologists to describe a person who is convinced his mind has a different gender to his body.

To treat GID, the body is modified to fit the mental perception the person’s gender.

If this seems a little odd – or even preposterous – it is because it is. Why do psychologists assume that the disorder is in the body rather than the mind? If a person decides he is Napoleon, does his psychologist prescribe a series of operations to transform the patient’s body into a passable likeness of Napoleon? Of course not.

The difference in the case of GID is that the treatment is grounded in ideology, not medicine.

Tragically, even children are being sacrificed to the lunatic cult of gender-fluidity.

From here:

A small but growing number of teens and even younger children who think they were born the wrong sex are getting support from parents and from doctors who give them sex-changing treatments, according to reports in the medical journal Pediatrics.

It’s an issue that raises ethical questions, and some experts urge caution in treating children with puberty-blocking drugs and hormones.

An 8-year-old second-grader in Los Angeles is a typical patient. Born a girl, the child announced at 18 months, “I a boy” and has stuck with that belief. The family was shocked but now refers to the child as a boy and is watching for the first signs of puberty to begin treatment, his mother told The Associated Press.

 

 

Lesbian couple wants a sex change for their 11-year old

From here:

A lesbian couple in California who say their 11-year-old son Tommy who wants to be a girl named Tammy are giving their child hormone blockers that delay the onset of puberty — so that he can have more time that he can have more time to decide if he wants to change his gender.

[….]

Thomas began saying he was a girl when he was 3 years old, his parents said in an interview with the Daily Mail. He was learning sign language due to a speech impediment, and one of the first things he told his mothers was, “I am a girl.” They say they thought he was confused or mistaken, and signed back, ‘No. No. Thomas is a boy.”

But Thomas insisted, they said. He shook his head “no” and repeated what he had signed.
They said Thomas threatened to mutilate his genitals when he was 7, and psychiatrists diagnosed a gender identity disorder.

One year later, he began transitioning to Tammy.

It can’t be a coincidence that a child brought up in an atmosphere of gender malleability has decided, at an age when most children are barely aware of what sexuality is, that he wants to change his sex.

The lesbians have made a creature in their own image; even if it was inadvertent, an act of consummate selfishness.

What better recommendation for not allowing same-sex couples to adopt children.

Canadian youth favour traditional roles for men and women

Or, to put it in Newspeak “old-fashion gender roles”.

From here:

Young Canadians are carrying around some gender stereotypes that seem more in line with what their parents or grandparents might have thought, a new global study suggests.

The report, released Thursday by the development agency Plan International, found 31 per cent of Canadian boys aged 12 to 17 believe a woman’s most important role is feeding her family and taking care of the home.

That compared to 15 per cent of boys in the United Kingdom, but well short of 73 per cent in India and 68 per cent in Rwanda, who answered the same way.

When the question was asked of Canadian adults, 24 per cent agreed that a woman’s primary role should be in the home.

Almost half — 48 per cent — of the Canadian adolescents polled said men should be responsible for earning an income and providing for their families. Among Canadian adults, 43 per cent felt the same way.

[….]

Joan Simalchik, a professor of gender studies at the University of Toronto, also expressed surprise over the results.

“That’s not what we see at universities, and it’s not quite what we see in the real world,” she said of the idea that so many young Canadians are holding out-of-date views on the sexes.

Obviously, the prodigious efforts that schools make at indoctrinating their charges out of “out-of-date views on the sexes” isn’t working too well.

Sometimes I love a backlash.

 

Apparently, gender is irrelevant and those who don’t agree should “die off”

That is the view of the exemplar of tolerance, Glenn Close, who plays a cross dresser in her new film.

From here:

Glenn Close is not a man. And she is not gay. But she so fully assumes the bizarre form of an Irish woman who hides her sex beneath stiff collars and black suits in the new film Albert Nobbs, that you have to recalibrate all notions of gender by the final credits.

Close says that was pretty much the whole idea behind bringing her Obie-winning role to the screen: “Gender is irrelevant. It basically should be irrelevant.”

[….]

Some people will change their point of view, and those who are either too old, or too blinkered, to accept the beauty of difference will just have to “die off,” she says.

Hiding one’s sexual identity by dressing as a member of the opposite sex expresses the irrelevance of gender as effectively as a man in a wig expresses the irrelevance of baldness.

And since cross-dressing seeks to disguise a difference, it’s difficult to see how it enhances the “beauty of difference.”

Perhaps it is Ms. Close’s brain cells that have died off.

In Australia you can now be male, female or X

From here:

Australian passports will now have three gender options – male, female and x.

The new category is only for use by intersex people – who are not biologically entirely male or female.

Trangendered passport-holders – who have changed gender but not had surgery – will be free to choose either male or female, but will not be allowed to select ‘x’.

[…..]

She said: ‘”X” is really quite important, because there are people who are indeed genetically ambiguous and were probably arbitrarily assigned as one sex or the other at birth.

‘It’s a really important recognition of people’s human rights that if they choose to have their sex as “indeterminate”, they can.’

In Western society, being inter-something is an increasing obsession. Interfaith services commemorating 9/11 were popular and were attended by people who believe that proclaiming their non-adherence to any specific religion is more virtuous than espousing the truth of one to the exclusion of the others. The objective reality that if one religion is true the others must be false, has to be resisted at all costs since that would foster exclusiveness and inequality – the antithesis of the only permitted absolutes, inclusiveness and equality.

As the article notes, it has become a human right to deny objective reality. Thus, to insist on the objective existence of a person’s gender is now gauche: a person’s sex is determined existentially. A person doesn’t behave like a man because he is one, he is a man because he behaves like one: behaviour precedes essence.

What next, I wonder: an interspecies category for those whose sexual excess is behavioural evidence of their being rabbits?

A Sparkling celebration

Sparkle is over now, so if you were blissfully unaware of it (as, regrettably, I was), you will have to wait for next year’s celebration of all things transgender.

In addition to seeing Lynne Featherstone MP, minister for equalities and participating in the Tranny of the year competition, you could have attended a Special Sparkle Church Service at St Ninian’s United Reformed Church led by Transgender members; even though it isn’t Anglican, I expect many of us would have found that very tempting.

For those men who are not endowed as our inner woman would wish, consider Stick on Curves, which do this:

Before:

After:

 

If only I had known about these sooner. I wonder if Lynne Featherstone uses them.

Toronto parents keep their child’s gender a secret

From here:

“So it’s a boy, right?” a neighbour calls out as Kathy Witterick walks by, her four month old baby, Storm, strapped to her chest in a carrier.

Each week the woman asks the same question about the baby with the squishy cheeks and feathery blond hair.

Witterick smiles, opens her arms wide, comments on the sunny spring day, and keeps walking.

She’s used to it. The neighbours know Witterick and her husband, David Stocker, are raising a genderless baby. But they don’t pretend to understand it.

While there’s nothing ambiguous about Storm’s genitalia, they aren’t telling anyone whether their third child is a boy or a girl.

[…..]

Witterick and Stocker believe they are giving their children the freedom to choose who they want to be, unconstrained by social norms about males and females.

By the time this poor child is old enough to “choose who he wants to be”, he will also be old enough to realise that he has been the victim of a grotesque experiment by parents more interested in sacrificing him on the altar of their crackbrained ideology than in loving him.

If he has any sense he will get away from them as far as he can as quickly as possible.

Just another day at the medical lab

El’Jai Devoureau, a woman who decided she was really a man, embarked on hormone therapy and surgery to release her inner man before starting a highly sought-after job watching other men urinate. After the discovery that Devoureau’s outer appearance didn’t entirely match her inner aspirations, she was fired because her employer only hires men to watch other men urinate. Devoureau is suing because her employer “discriminated based on birth gender”; Devoureau wants to continue watching men urinate.

El’Jai Devoureau’s lawyer commends her courage – not, as one might think, for taking the job in the first place – but for “drawing a line in the sand” on behalf of the all the other ex-women waiting to take up similar employment:

‘As our society becomes appropriately more tolerant, I hope that there are more brave people that are willing to endure the collateral problems by drawing a line in the sand and saying they won’t stand for discrimination,’

And a professor of law muses on unusual interview questions that lab employees may have to look forward to:

‘I would have absolutely told them to retain the employee and think about how to address transphobia and heterosexism in their environment.

You don’t ask someone: ‘What do your genitalia look like?” she said. ‘That was a very poor choice on the employer’s part.’

All of which makes me grateful that I work with computers.

 

UK: Government to produce Transgender Equality Action Plan

Here is Lynne Featherstone, Minister For Equalities to explain:

Those eager to complete the survey, will be able to opine about such things as “Police lack of understanding/sensitivity to my needs as a trans victim”.

And, of course, in the mass production chaos of genetic gender distribution, did you end up with two X’s when what you really want is an X and a Y? – Is your gender identity the same as the gender you were assigned at birth?

What does this all really mean? More five year-old boys will be painting their toenails pink.
