It’s time for a thread of my greatest (worst) hits. Some people need to be exposed.

First up, the University of Victoria boys — October 15, 2020.

Arrogant little bully abuses a 55-year-old woman.
BC Minister of Education, Rob Fleming, refuses to discuss the education curriculum with me, a concerned parent.

When asked why he’s refusing to meet, he simply says “Why would I?”

(He’s been transferred out of this job now, FYI.)

October 15, 2020
This chap really showed me up with his beautiful sign: “This guy opinion is stupid ➡️”

I felt bad for him, so I helped out and added the apostrophe and the S.

October 15, 2020
My billboard on Hastings St. that said ‘I ❤️ JK Rowling’ got taken down because it was ‘hate speech.’

So I wore a sign that said ‘I ❤️ JK Rowling’ and went and stood there in protest. People love me.

October 17, 2020
Speaking of that billboard, here it is.

September 12, 2020
I get a lot of support, too.

Here I am during my Harry Potter days with my 8-year-daughter’s Harry Potter glasses, and one of Jessica Yaniv’s ‘wax my balls’ victims.

The issue of puberty blockers is my main focus, but women’s rights are also under attack.

October 19, 2020
Here’s Green Party candidate and trans person Nicola Spurling still insisting that JK Rowling is a danger to children.

Nicola had been forced to take down a defamatory tweet after JK threatened to sue.

October 21, 2020
Protect 🔪 Trans 🌹 Kids

October 21, 2020
Jessica ‘wax my balls or I’ll sue’ Yaniv.

(Don’t text and drive.)

Part 1

October 22, 2020
Jessica ‘wax my balls or I’ll sue’ Yaniv threatens to kill me and tells police I called in a bomb threat.

Jessica has been criminally charged with uttering threats, and with two counts of public mischief.

Court is scheduled for June 29, 2022.

October 22, 2020
Trans person tells me that puberty blockers are not used on young children; they are used on children going into puberty.

Yes, this person says 10 year olds are not small children.

October 22, 2020
I speak to Global News about the harm coming to kids, and the assault on women’s rights.

Of course, they didn’t air a single second of it. They couldn’t find the hate they were looking for.

October 22, 2020

Meghan Murphy finally goes public with her efforts to sabotage my campaign, saying I’m harassing trans people and trying to co-opt a women’s movement.

She writes on Facebook that she’s worried about my wife because I’m so abusive.

Thousands attack me online.

October 22, 2020
Anarchists in Vancouver refuse to let me walk in a public square. Part 1 of 4.

October 24, 2020
Police refused to do anything about the anarchists, and instead blamed me for instigating.

I was simply present, wearing my signs in a public space.

A man comes and knocks my phone out of my hand. 20 police looking on say they saw nothing. Part 2 of 4.

October 24, 2020
Vancouver police tell me not to walk in a public area.

One police officer tells me this is a ‘safe space.’ Yeah, safe for the anarchists, not for me. Part 3 of 4.

October 24, 2020
I get assaulted by Robert Ages, a union rep, and I get arrested and taken to jail.

I was charged with ‘causing a disturbance’ and forbidden from walking on several streets in Vancouver for 6 months, until Crown Counsel dismissed the charge. Part 4 of 4.

October 24, 2020
This was not my doing but made me very happy, regardless.

The ‘I ❤️ JK Rowling’ billboard — which itself was inspired by the great Posie Parker in the UK — provided some inspiration and other billboards started popping up, like this one in California.

October 29, 2020
When receiving registered mail from Jessica Yaniv Simpson, do not open it. No good can come from this.

Just shred it.

October 29, 2020
I head out on my first trip to eastern Canada.

One man came out to support in Ottawa. No supporters in Toronto. No supporters in Montreal.

Not discouraged! I know what one conversation at a time will lead to.

November 2, 2020
My first of many days standing outside BC Children’s Hospital.

November 8, 2020
I walked a literal marathon with my signs on, having conversations along the way.

26 miles through Surrey, New Westminster, Burnaby, and Vancouver.

I stopped short of Howe Street at the Vancouver Art Gallery, because police banned me from walking there.

November 9, 2020
Just another day standing out in the rain, humming to myself. This time in Coquitlam.

I heard 8 months later from an old friend that he saw me and started researching.

November 18, 2020
My business which is now essentially defunct gets dozens of 1-star reviews in yet another attempt to destroy my livelihood.

Eventually Google removed them.

November 19, 2020
I get a bunch of death threats and people wishing I had been aborted, like this lovely lady.

November 20, 2020
Christmas shopping time in Vancouver. Always busy, always great for conversations.

November 28, 2020
I head back over to Victoria to have street conversations outside the BC Legislature.

They rolled out the red carpet for me.

December 7, 2020
This guy came to harass me a few times. And he’s from TERF Island, too. What gives?

Bro, your mask is upside down.

December 7, 2020
This was a nice conversation (it’s a thread) with a respectful person who identifies as non-binary.

December 8, 2020
I’ll keep updating this thread in the coming days.

I have more plans to hit the U.S west and east coasts in the coming months. If you wish to support my efforts, I really appreciate your help. This is a team effort. ❤️

A long-time employee of Boston Children’s Hospital was fired after privately communicating with me about the response of the hospital to these viral videos.

She found a better job and is happier now.
A paramedic in Ontario was investigated by his employer after he stood on the street with me one day.

He had to leave work on stress leave.
An instructor at an Ivy League university was investigated by her employer for attending a protest with me, even though she masked up to hide her identity, and they placed another university staff member in the room for every lecture she gave from that point forward, in order to observe her conduct.

A psychologist named Wallace Wong, who works for the BC government, is transitioning over 1000 children, including more than 500 foster kids.

68% of foster kids in BC are indigenous.

Yes, our politicians who love to virtue signal about harm done to indigenous communities in the past are actively maiming and sterilizing indigenous kids today.

At a public talk over 6 years ago, Wallace Wong gave the following advice to parents and trans-identifying children if they aren’t getting puberty blockers and hormones right away.

"So what you need is, you know what? Pull a stunt. Suicide, every time, [then] they will give you what you need.” -Wallace Wong, BC Ministry of Children and Family Development

This, of course, is not surprising. Weaponizing suicide is the number one coercive tactic these activists have used for years.

Child transition is child abuse, and we are going to stop it.

Thank you to @Dallas_Brodie of @One_BCHQ for fighting for our kids.

The fake Conservative Party of BC certainly won’t do it.
Here’s more on Wallace Wong, who should be in prison.

The transcript and the audio of his talk where he coaches kids to fake being suicidal in order to get puberty blockers and hormones is all here.

I’m on a worldwide mission to help stop the most insane child abuse scandal in modern history.

If you wish to support my campaign, I can only do this with your help.

Dear police,

Please don’t try to tell me where I can and cannot be.

That’s a guarantee I will go where you don’t want me because I don’t like you trying to infringe upon my rights.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Billboard Chris & @pierre_barns
This police visit, 9 minutes earlier, was great!

I suspect a man walking by, wearing a progress pride flag t-shirt, must have called 911 upon seeing me.

These types want to defund the police but call them when they see a sign they don’t like.
No doubt it was this guy wasting police resources.

We won!

Together with @X, we just defeated Australia’s government in a huge victory for free speech!

The eSafety Commissioner’s effort to censor me and to demand that X complies has failed. This sets an important precedent.

Congratulations, Australia! 🇦🇺

From the Deputy President of the Tribunal in his ruling:

“The applications before this tribunal have their origin in a social media post insulting Teddy Cook, a transgender man. The post, which among other things refers to Teddy Cook as a woman, has been blocked in Australia as a result of action by the online safety regulator.

“The person who posted the material and the platform on which it was posted have both challenged the decision of the regulator to issue a removal notice. The broad question to be answered is whether the post meets the statutory definition of cyber-abuse material targeted at an Australian adult.

“The more focussed question is whether I can be satisfied that the necessary intention to cause serious harm to the subject of the post has been established. Based on the evidence before me, I am not satisfied that it has. Consequently, the decision of the eSafety Commissioner to issue a removal notice is set aside.”

You know what this means, Australia. You are perfectly free to call a man a man and a woman a woman. It’s not misgendering, and it’s not cyber-abuse.

The only people misgendering are the ones who play along with the cult of gender.

There are two sexes, zero genders, and infinite personalities.
I’ll add a link to the entire ruling soon. It’s truly a devastating blow for the @eSafetyOffice.

All of their experts were dismissed as unconvincing and contradictory. In her worst dreams, the eSafety Commissioner could not have expected such a total defeat.

More importantly, this ruling provides a safe roadmap for free speech in Australia, when that speech intends to genuinely debate matters.

With a shoestring budget, we went up against the inexhaustible resources of the government and won. Why? Because we have truth on our side, and all they have is authoritarianism and lies.

BREAKING: The long-awaited verdict in my lawsuit and @X’s lawsuit against Australia’s government will be announced in a few hours time, at 4pm Australian EST, or 2am ET. @elonmusk

This is the most important freedom of speech case on the planet right now.

More details below. 🧵
My original post upon learning @X had been ordered to take my post down or face a $782,500 AUD fine.
Case Summary

Chris Elston, known as Billboard Chris, a Canadian father of two, took to “X” (formerly Twitter) on 28th February 2024 to share a Daily Mail article titled “Kinky secrets of a UN trans expert REVEALED”. 

The article, and accompanying tweet, criticised the suitability of transgender activist Teddy Cook to be appointed to a World Health Organization “panel of experts” set to advise on global transgender policy. 

Cook complained about the post to Australia’s eSafety Commissioner, who requested that “X” remove the content. The social media platform owned by free speech advocate Elon Musk initially refused, but following a subsequent formal removal order from the Commission, later geo-blocked the content in Australia. X has since also filed an appeal against the order at the Administrative Appeals Tribunal in Melbourne. 

Billboard Chris, with the support of @ADFIntl and the Australian Human Rights Law Alliance, and alongside Elon Musk’s “X”, is appealing the violation of his right to peacefully share his convictions. 

The case was heard in Melbourne for five days on the week of March 31st 2025.

“It is vital we challenge the global spread of censorship. We’re used to hearing about governments punishing citizens for their ‘wrong’ speech in parts of the world where strict blasphemy laws are still enforced – but now, from Australia, to Mexico, to Finland, we see Western governments increasingly take authoritarian steps to shut down views they don’t like, often by branding them as “offensive”, “hateful”, or “misinformation.” 

“In a free society, ideas should be challenged with ideas, not state censorship. We’re proud to stand with Billboard Chris – and others around the world punished for expressing their peaceful views – in defending the right to live and speak the truth,” commented Robert Clarke, Director of Advocacy for ADF International, who is serving as part of Billboard Chris’s legal team.

The Sydney Morning Herald has done an excellent job reporting on my censorship fight with Australia’s government!

Not just my fight — @elonmusk’s and the Trump administration’s, as well.

It was a very bad idea to censor me.

“In March, in a drab hearing room of the Administrative Review Tribunal in Melbourne, lawyers spent five days going back and forth about a post on social media platform X from a Canadian anti-trans activist and whether it should have been removed from the internet.

“Now, a year after that post was published, the case has caught the attention of the Trump administration, which is accusing Australia – among other countries – of coercing American technology companies into egregious censorship.

“With the White House warning that it is out to enforce free speech around the world, the matter has the potential to creep into high-stakes trade talks between the United States and the re-elected Albanese government.”

Article continues in the thread.👇🏼🧵Image
“The administration has been really straightforward,” David Inserra, a fellow at the Cato Institute, a free market Washington think tank, says. “They view these types of actions as assaults on American competitiveness.”

What happened?

Chris Elston describes himself as a father of two girls who “decided to take a stand against gender ideology”. In practice, that means regularly touring the streets of North America – and the world – with billboards that say: “Children cannot consent to puberty blockers”.

It also means publishing a constant stream of anti-transgender material on social media, where he is known as Billboard Chris. Elston rejects the “anti-trans” label. “I cannot be anti something that doesn’t exist,” he says. “I am pro-child.”
In late February 2024, Elston read a Daily Mailarticle about Teddy Cook, an Australian trans man and activist who was then the community health director at NSW charity ACON, which advocates for the LGBTQ+ community and on HIV/AIDS. The article purported to reveal Cook’s “kinky track record” and questioned his appointment to a World Health Organisation advisory body on transgender issues.

Elston posted a link to the article on X, the Elon Musk-owned platform formerly called Twitter. “This woman (yes, she’s female) is part of a panel of 20 ‘experts’ hired by the @WHO to draft their policy on caring for ‘trans people’,” Elston wrote, before questioning Cook’s suitability for the appointment.

Cook complained to Australia’s eSafety Commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, and on March 22 last year, a delegate ordered X to remove the post. A letter from the delegate to X said the post deliberately misgendered Cook, invalidated and mocked his gender identity, was offensive and constituted cyberabuse. If X failed to remove the post, it was liable for a $782,500 fine.

The platform complied by geo-blocking the post in Australia, although it is still available elsewhere, including in the United States. Musk’s company also appealed to the Administrative Review Tribunal, as did Elston, leading to the hearing that was held in March.Image
