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.

Anglicans and "gender violence"

What peculiarly grotesque act does that phrase seek to describe? Well it seems fairly obvious to me: what could do more violence to gender than to corrupt its essence by surgically forcing it to conform to its opposite. To be transgender is to commit gender violence.

Too simple, I fear. Although having a sex change operation isn’t yet a sacrament, being transgendered is a preferred entry point into Anglicanism.  Apparently, “gender violence” means “violence against women”.

From here:

For the first time in recent history, three Episcopal women’s groups have come together to ask the church to participate in 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence. In 2010, the 16 days begin on November 25, International Day against Violence Against Women, and end on December 10.

A worthy cause, no doubt, but why does it have to be called “Gender Violence”? I’m thinking of forming an Anglican men’s group that will campaign against the Devil and her violence towards language.
