Guest post: Always just a single tweet away
Originally a comment by Your Name’s not Bruce? on We must do MORE.
For the govt to provide targeted funding for research & innovation in gender-affirming surgeries & other areas of gender-affirming care that would benefit from more scientific knowledge, with funding conditional on info sharing around practices developed & their outcomes.
Be careful what you wish for. Look how this turned out for caloric, phlogiston, N-rays and the the ether.
8. To amend section 268(3) of the Criminal Code to restrict cosmetic surgeries on intersex children until they are old enough to consent.
Ah, looking for a loophole via the plight for people with DSDs (NOT “intersex”) in order to cut up “trans” kids, are we?
For the govt to take a clear stand against the rising tide of anti-trans hate & violence wherever & whenever egregious acts of hate & violence occur.
We’d need to see your definition of “anti-trans hate and violence,” because I’m betting most of what you’d put on the list is neither. Stating that there are only two sexes, and that humans can’t change sex. Correctly sexing someone and using the pronouns appropriate to the correct sex. I’ll bet that those are on your little Index of Proscribed Ideas.
10. For the govt to host a roundtables on combating anti-trans hate & violence with stakeholders.
Do the same for women FIRST, and make sure that women are consulted in your little publicly funded trans roundtables, as what you’re going to be demanding will involve taking things from women and giving them to men.
Why do people think this? I’ll never understand it.
“Squeaky wheels and grease” comes to mind, but we’ve also got trillion-candlepower virtue signaling happening here. “I’M ONE OF THE GOOD ONES! PLEASE DON’T BURN ME WITH THE WITCHES!! DO IT TO JULIA!!!” She hasn’t figured out that she’s not the one to decide whether she’s a witch or not. Salvation is not through works but by the Grace of Trans. She will always be just a single slip or tweet away from vilification and condemnation. If she fucks up once, says the wrong thing, likes the wrong post, it won’t matter if her list was 29 items or 29,000. She’ll be damned. Just like the rest of us.
Pity that Arthur Miller is not still around. (For younger readers, he was the playwright who gave us The Crucible which featured the Salem witch trials, and produced a powerful analogy re Senator Joe McCarthy and his fellow inquisitors.) If Miller could be bothered, I bet he could do nice little one on the trans-attention trans-seekers and all their transbullshit.
