@Piss_Ant It’s especially creepy that he says health care decisions should be left up to doctors – not patients. What if a doctor wants to do something to me that I don’t want done? If we weren’t talking about minors, I would see an individual rights argument if he had said “patient,” although I ultimately think that individuals should not be able to request harm from doctors. I think they should be able to turn down help (or harm or anything), but not request harm.
@Biff@Cousin_Isobel I just find it totally bizarre that the supposed "I care about working class Canadians" guy is worried about what the 5 trans kids in Canada? Getting their hormones and surgery while they are still prepubescent?
@Piss_Ant@Biff It’s probably a lot more than five, right? I was starting to think it was five per school, at least at the bigger schools, but I’m not up there to look around and see.
@Piss_Ant@Cousin_Isobel It’s a lot more than five, and the contagion seems to be hitting “progressive” schools especially hard. These parents and “allies” seem to have signed their brains over to the NDP and their friends.
@Piss_Ant@Cousin_Isobel In this interview, two Canadian teachers in different provinces talk about how they were on board with gender education until their daughters developed ROGD, which did definitely wake them up to the dangers they had been mindlessly promoting.
@Biff@Piss_Ant@Cousin_Isobel I'm glad they've finally seen sense and everything, but this reminds me a lot of those blokes who do not understand that sexual assault and harassment are wrong until they have a daughter.
@EatKnitSleepAgain@Piss_Ant@Cousin_Isobel I think the difference is that sexual assault is objectively bad, whereas gender indoctrination is packaged as “kindness.” You have to ask questions to get beyond the advertising.
