1./ Self-ID and Liars. Those who support Gender Self-ID (the right of any male to say he's a woman and be believed, no questions asked) ridicule the notion anyone would exploit this with malign intent. So how to explain this incredible story from Canada.👇 cbc.ca/newsinteractiv…

2./ The Union that failed to represent @Docstockk embraced not just gender self-ID but racial Self-ID, and so has Canada. So when Carrie Bourassa claimed to be "indigenous" she HAD to be believed. Here she is getting all emotional in a Ted Talk. 👇 cbc.ca/player/play/19…

3./ Bourassa was a big fake. Her ethnic origins were actually Czech yet she rose effortlessly on a wave of affirmation to become one of Canada's leading indigenous figures wielding huge influence and budgets. Could you have told she was lying in this interview with students? 👇

4./ Canadian universities say they'll now bring in gatekeeping (like checking with First Nations who is and isn't indigenous. Duh). But here's the thing: if a woman would lie convincingly to improve her pay packet why wouldn't a bloke lie to improve his access to woman's spaces?

5./ And why wouldn't a predator lie to gain entry to women's prisons or places where girls are in a state of undress? As Carrie Bourassa reminds us, there will always be people whose expertise is spinning a web of deception. Self-ID is a liar's charter.👇
