Too dangerous
But it’s not “very clear.” It’s very unclear. Define “transphobia.” Define “biphobia.” Explain why you burble about transphobia but not misogyny. Explain why you seem not to give the tiniest shit about women’s rights.
Two people have been arrested in Ottawa for “inciting hatred” by “displaying hateful material” during a protest against school policies on gender identity curriculum, according to Ottawa Police.
The CBC doesn’t say what kind of “hateful material” of course. Is it the “men are not women” kind? Is it hateful to say that?

Like what? Material that says women have rights?
The march in nation’s capital is part of a number of protests and counter-protests across Canada where heated exchanges are taking place. Some parents and socially conservative groups are protesting LGBTQ-inclusive education policies in the classroom and in extracurricular settings under the banner of parental rights.
Liars liars liars. It’s not only “socially conservative groups” who object to campaigns that try to force us to agree that men can be women. Far from it.
Policies emerging across the country, including in New Brunswick and Saskatchewan, that require young people to get parental consent before teachers can use their preferred first names and pronouns are at the heart of these protests.
Gee, silly parents, not wanting their kids to mutilate themselves and mess up their lives for the sake of a grotesque social contagion.
Watching the Facebook video it’s clear the police didn’t want to lose control of the situation so they shut the event down. Unfortunately the lesson the protestors have learned from this is that threatening a riot works as the police won’t dare to stop them. I’m sure there will be another rally by Murphy and others though, and eventually things will get out of hand and then what? Just let the mob rule? I’d like to think that Canadians aren’t going to stand for that but… I have my doubts these days.
It’s not a teacher’s duty to tattle on kids to their parents and yes it is the religious conservatives running these things. Also, Megan Murphy is a rightoid now…
People who aren’t right wing shit bags aren’t onboard with the trans cult obviously, but it’s silly to pretend that the bigots aren’t running the show. I don’t think I need to do a web search to find out who March4Children are…
BKiSA, given how gender critical feminists have been ostracized by the left, it’s not surprising to see Murphy and others finding support from the right. Nor is is at all surprising that the right is taking advantage of the growing opposition to the TQ+ agenda of normalizing all kinds of sexualities and also extending that to children. The left meanwhile is broadly supportive of the TQ+ agenda because it’s been sold as an extension of LGB rights that led to the decriminalization of homosexuality and making same-sex civil marriage legal. The TQ+ agenda is also accepted in academia and K-12 education and those teachers who aren’t on board with socially transing kids are at risk of being fired for being transphobic. Those teachers who resist the trans bandwagon aren’t doing it because they just like tattling on kids, rather, they’re trying to protect kids and part of that is telling the truth to parents too.
BKISA says, “It’s not a teacher’s duty to tattle on kids to their parents”, to which I hope there are numerous exceptions, such as (in no particular order) bullying, theft, assault, sexual assault, drug use, drug dealing, murder, blatant racist behavior, rape, failing, bulimia, daily fighting, upskirting, gun toting, tagging, self-harm, animal torture on school grounds…
There are times when teachers and schools do have to “tattle” on the behavior of students. That “tattling” may be solely to parents, they may also be to police. I have had to “tattle” on a college student in my professional capacity (which usually requires strict confidentiality, and not to the parents, they were not available) because of truly harmful actions this student was taking.
BKISA, there is a difference between tattling and promoting, encouraging, and participating. I don’t think anyone expects a teacher to call parents because they heard friends calling another student by an “opposite sex” name. That is very different than teachers changing names, pronouns, schools giving out binders and clothing for students to change into.
