Starting my notes on the latest Jessica Yaniv vs. waxing ladies hearing at the BCHRT. The publication ban on identifying Yaniv was lifted at the end of this hearing so have used their legal name. Will identify everyone but the waxing ladies but then use initials.

Hell freezes over and the CBC publishes a story about men in women’s federal prisons! Link later in thread.

Mostly balanced, some seriously naive statements from some people who should know better and it includes a link to a fantastic column by journalist and “influential La Presse columnist Isabelle Hachey”/1
Some background, high and lowlights.

“The Quebec case of convicted murderer Levana Ballouz has sparked a tense debate about whether trans inmates should be allowed to choose whether they serve time in men's or women's prison based on their gender identity.

A jury found Ballouz, a trans woman, guilty on Dec. 16 of fatally stabbing her partner Synthia Bussières, and suffocating their two children, five-year-old Éliam and two-year-old Zac in 2022.

During sentencing, the judge in the case described Ballouz as "sadistic", "dangerous" and "manipulative."  She was sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole for at least 25 years. “/2
“After Ballouz's transfer request was reported in December, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre posted on the social media platform X, "I can't believe I have to say this: but when I'm PM, there will be no male prisoners in female jails. Period."

Trans activists say Poilievre's response to the Ballouz case — to say that no male prisoners will serve time in female jails — is overly simplistic and hurtful to all trans people.”/3

Earlier this year, I ran into Stephen Quinn of CBC’s Early Edition reporting on Robson Street. I was 99% sure that it was him but asked just in case. He said no & then laughed while admitting it was. /1
I added that detail because it felt patronizing and I don’t think he would have said that same thing to a grown man. Fellow women, I think you will know what I mean.

I asked him if he remembered the JY vs the Waxing Ladies case. He said vaguely so I brought him up to speed./2
Then I asked him why on his current affairs show, he never once covered the many human rights complaints brought against women with small business, many of whom were immigrants whose businesses were ruined./3

BF just objected to Amy using the term “trans identified male”. Want the panel to rule that she has to use the term “Trans woman”. LB objects, says BF not entitled to compel speech./1
BF say BCHRT (or maybe it was one of her cases, she’s not sure) said that everyone has to use the terms and pronouns recognized by what we would call gender identity ideology. /2
LB says human rights code not implicated in this hearing. There is no “trans woman” seeking a service. Says if we are forced to use compelled speech, then maybe she should object to the use of the term “cis women”./3

Sorry to say that I missed most of the morning due to a migraine but will try to get the notes from others and update as I can. Here we go./2
The Disciplinary Panel has qualified Dr.Cantor as an expert witness. We can tell from the discussion that Amy’s team has had to redact portions of his report so his qualification has been modified but this is still very good news./3

Here’s a recap for Day 14 of the @BCnursemidwife disciplinary hearing for Amy Hamm, our @preta_6. This took place yesterday, October 27th.

Link to previous two days here.

#IStandWithAmyHamm #nurseswillspeak #sexnotgende
As the hearing starts, it is announced that there will be an “in camera” session. This means that the public and witnesses are excluded, only the Panel and lawyers will attend and this portion will be excluded from the public transcript. /2
Here’s Wikipedia’s definition of “in camera” for those who want it.
