What are you talking about? This study says nothing of the sort. In fact, it provides us a better roadmap to distinguish between children who will experience dysphoria throughout their lives vs. those that won't.

Nothing in this study says that positively affirming the gender identity of children will force them into a transgender identity that isn't theirs. All it says is that some kids who exhibit certain traits are less likely to exhibit dysphoria as they grow up.

I'm at Canada Christian College where hundreds of people have come to listen to a panel on the federal trans rights law and "compelled speech." Speaking are Barbara Kay, Lindsay Sheppard, Jared Brown, Deborah Soh & Sarina Singh. My guess is they're not fans of the law. We're starting with some Jordan Peterson fan fic from Jared Brown, a trial lawyer in Toronto. Compelled speech is totalitarian, he says, and human rights commissions forcing people to use specific pronouns is that.

I recently wrote about Cuba's strange, top-down LGBT rights movement, which is really unlike what's happening anywhere else in the world. dailyxtra.com/how-cubas-top-… Mariela Castro, daughter of Raul & niece of Fidel, is at the forefront of the movement and has helped make Cuba one of the most nominally progressive countries in the Caribbean for LGBT people. But there are some problems.

For the past little while, I've been working on a piece about Toronto's relationship to the alt-right, especially the "manosphere." Unfortunately that research has become relevant. I'm going to share as much as I can here for people who may not be familiar with these movements. "Incel" refers to "involuntary celibate," essentially meaning that a person can't get laid because of their looks/personality. The incels make up one segment of the broader "manosphere", a collection of online masculinist communities that interplay with one another.
