I am a leftist, but I am willing to be critical of left wing parties, establishments, and "women's" orgs that have failed women by pandering to this ideology. These are not personal attacks. We have been captured, we have tried to play along. some of us meant well, some

of us are influenced by other leftist policies or concerns other than defeating gender ideology.
I consider it my number one concern, because I don;t think we can fight for abortion rights, rape shelters, or other women's issues while men take our name and our funding. Some

people don't agree. It is a difference of opinion. But I know where I stand. I care about left wing values and polices deeply, but the defacto left wing parties now are not leftist and are failing us. I'm willing to be non-defensive about that.

4. I will work on this issue with people on all sides who have good ideas and good arguments about this issue. And for questionable "allies" who want the same goals but for less sound reasoning-I will make it clear what my reasoning is and how we differ.
5 That said, pretending that men can be women isn't a good argument. Medicalizing LGBs isn't good reasoning. Deconstructing sex classes in law isn't good reasoning. Treating dysphoria with an illusion isn't good reasoning. I won't support these ideas.
6/ And I should add that this has a cost to me. I need the #canadiandisabilitybenefit to pass and I don't think conservatives will do it. it's life and death for me. But I won't be voting for Trudeau or NDP to get it. I'm not going to be bought to support a lie

As someone who was briefly part of the alternative queer scene and am pretty in favor of adults having weird private sexual tastes, AGP ( I dated one) still poses a problem. That's because it's more than a private kink. My experience with AGP men is that it is more than a kink
1/
it is a personality disturbance which is fueled by the hormones and arousal of kink. Again, you say, so what, we cannot criminalize narcissism or kink. We can't, but we can and should be critical of kink in the public being accepted and normalized-what I saw of MOST AGP men
2/
is tht they CANNOT keep it under control. It's not just bedroom play. And that's why it gets marched out into their public life. It's out in public because they cannot control it, and because it gives them a rush (and arousal) they don't want to. Those of us who normalize

It's not extremist to refuse to think that altered men are women.
We have normalized the illusion that this is good and acceptable, and we can un-normalize it by changing the language and concepts that frame these men as women -and reassert that they are men.
Nobody wants a society where they measure your hair length as they do in IRAN to be sure that you conform to sex stereotypes. But as long as men are allowed to pass themselves off as women, that will be the reaction created. That will be the backlash.
We can be honest now-

The key to this as I see it is twofold for those of us who don't want to legislate what people can do for our bodies. That is, convincing the public and the medical establishment that these interventions are unethical in the same way that removing limbs are...

Well, my sister has just advised me that my mother has died in Vancouver. That was less than a month after we found out that she had cancer. We are glad that she didn't suffer much. No need for anyone to express condolences, but my thanks to the people who showed support by

I grew up in as a non-religious person in a very very religious community in rural alberta. It was confusing and painful for me, and I went on to study existentialism, religion and culture in university. I came to the conclusion that we cannot know what is

AGP is trending. AGP is a paraphilia in which a man is aroused by seeing himself as sex object-which he frames as womanhood. I dated an AGP man thinking it was just clothing. It was not, it was a personality disturbance. I DO support men who like feminine clothing to an extent-

there are fabulous flamboyant gay men out there and boys who like pink. But men who put on wigs and take fake sex hormones to grow tits are often disturbed and predatory. Furthermore, they cannot be differentiated in any way legally or medically from men with dysphoria

It consists of

I used to think that we could co-exist with trans identity. I don't really now. I mean, its arguable that we can't stop people from wearing and altering how they want, but how we recognize that has to change: the model where we pretend they are quasi members of the opposite sex

is a conflict that cannot be overcome. People who want to uphold that illusion while denying them entry to our sports and spaces don't understand, it's pretty hard to police half-way. That's how we got here. Either we pretend that people who alter should have exceptions-

which has proven over and over to not work-or we change the model-reorienting them as members of their own sex. People argue for a 3rd category-but that has a few problematic aspects to consider. First, it teaches people that they can opt out of their sex, a problematic
