Morgane Oger, that well known "mom" of two, is running for mayor of Vancouver.

One planks of 'her' manifesto is shutting down the Vancouver Rape Relief Shelter because of its anti-trans policy.

Not spiteful at all.......

Thank you nettie for linking to the Dr JCJ thread! Smile

Will donate as soon as I get paid.

This is what we predicted from the start. Fine. This was how refuges came into being in the first place.

Stuff public funding, which only provides for male centred services. I'm delighted to fundraise for refuges to operate independently and meet the needs only of women. And no, no one is confused about what women are. They're really not.

Canada needs Meghan Murphy. I feel she is Canada's only hope, but she has been permanently banned from Twitter because of (chums with chums at Twitter) Balldemort and Ogre's campaign of hatred against her.
Here's a link to her crowdfunder

Hands up who's a mythical female, then. I'd rather be myth than cis.

Fucking hell.

Link to thread from Dr Jane Clare Jones in case anyone can't wait until CMBunting is back:

I’ve also donated in ogre’s honour, this sickens me. The reporting that VRR doesn’t “include trans people” is also presumably wrong - they would (I hope) include transmen, as they are biologically women.

Of course, if the article said they won’t “include males who identify as women” it would be all too obvious why VRR takes the stance it does.

CaptainMarvelBunting · 16/03/2019 14:28

Dr Jane Clare Jones has an excellent thread on this. Can't link as just going out, but she's looking at a very revealing exchange between Fionne and the Ogre.

MeAgainAgain · 16/03/2019 14:27

"“I am personally concerned that they’re limiting their services to focus on women who are born biologically women at birth, and not wanting to provide a full suite of services to trans women or other people who identify as women,” Councillor Kirby-Yung said."

ie literally it's open to anyone

which in effect will mean that women and girls will be less likely to use it

ScrimshawTheSecond · 16/03/2019 13:55

I do agree with Oger that this is a symbolic act.

First, Oger threatens to kill off the service. Now, Oger is offering to come in and help 'educate' Vancouver Rape Relief. Can anyone honestly see this as anything other than an abusive threat? Forgive me if this is sensitive, but I can't see this act as anything other than a metaphorical rape.

It's so visceral to me, I can't understand how it's not utterly, glaringly obvious. How can a government go along with this? Women go along with this? We KNOW that tone. It makes me feel sick to my stomach.

I guess many Canadians accept it because it gets reported like this

www.thestar.com/amp/vancouver/2019/03/14/vancouver-rape-relief-would-rather-lose-city-funding-than-include-trans-people.html

There is nothing in that article that even attempts to explain why keeping these services women-only is so essential.

GrinitchSpinach · 16/03/2019 11:51

Oger believes that NOT pandering to this extremist ideology is literally a crime. Oger keeps screeching for Meghan Murphy to be arrested for thought- and speech-crime. Glad the mounties haven't obliged Oger with that yet, but I worry it's not far off...

Ereshkigal · 16/03/2019 10:57

To have everyone pander to their extremist ideology is not a human right.

Ereshkigal · 16/03/2019 10:56

And when I say "pro trans" I mean the extreme ideology that TWAW and there is no difference between an MTF and a woman. Not people, like everyone on this thread, who believes everyone including trans people, should have human rights and is entitled to dignity and freedom from discrimination on the grounds of their gender identity or non conformingness.

BadPennyNoBiscuit · 16/03/2019 10:54

Doing the rounds on social media;

''First they said "This will never happen," now it's "who cares you rape victims deserve this."

Small administrative change my arse.

Ereshkigal · 16/03/2019 10:52

Talking to pro trans Canadians online really feels like you're speaking to someone brainwashed. They just parrot TRA propaganda.

BarbarianMum · 16/03/2019 10:36

So what the hell is going on in Canada. I dont see how you can lay this travesty of justice at the feet of one person (however odious). Half of the Canadian population are female, they have the vote and my understanding was that Canadian women were pretty active in politics.

So how is this happening? I should be able to hear the howls of outrage from here (S Yorkshire)?

Roomba · 16/03/2019 10:08

This one 'woman' campaign is just evil, spiteful and just shows how much empathy 'she' has with women who have been raped.

Absolutely. What kind of person agrees that this is a reasonable response to perceived 'transphobia'? Jesus.

ThePurportedDoctoress · 16/03/2019 10:05

I've set up a monthly PayPal donation in honour of the ogre. It's not much but I will keep giving until it has fucked off back to Mordor and VRR's funding is secure.

thebluearsefly · 16/03/2019 09:53

Can we keep bumping this thread and encouraging donations in the name of OGRE?

VickyEadie · 15/03/2019 15:36

I've donated and named Oger in the 'in honour of' part.

Ereshkigal · 15/03/2019 13:48

Donated.

thebluearsefly · 15/03/2019 13:35

Ogre is best mates with Wax my Balls. Or was. He repeatedly defended WMB until very recently. I believe they work together somehow? Ogre also threatened me with legal action for mentioning WMB on twitter. He’s fucking vile

GeordieTerf · 15/03/2019 11:48

Oger by name. Ogre by nature. Sad

Pepvixen · 15/03/2019 11:43

Have just donated.
