I came here to post this interrogation "interview". What a stunning, brave, librarian. I can only imagine the backlash and vitriol she is going to face for speaking so honestly and truthfully.

I was so disappointed to hear this garbage excuse for an "interview" earlier this evening. As It Happens is one of the very best programs on the CBC, probably as close to being a Canadian institution as you can get, and so far has stayed far away from any SJW woke nonsense. This ridiculous interrogation has slightly taken the shine of a lifetime love affair for me. However bloody well done to Vickery Bowles (also what a cool name).

Wow, the interviewer sounds absolutely demented. That is not a journalistic tone at all.

Good on her. It wasn’t an interview, it was a cross-examination. Is there no such thing as journalistic impartiality any more?

TW do get attacked. But not by feminists. By other men.

The Indigenous people of Canada may have a bit more oppression to deal with than Trans. And for much much longer. Bit whenbyiu are writing your own sob story, those details get lost.

Wow! Strong woman. CBC is astonishingly in thrall to the TRA agenda. That “interview” is more of an accusation than a discussion.

And all that guff around trans people STILL being the most oppressed. In Canada? Where they have more rights than the majority?

Amazed these people can’t see that attempting to force people into compliance isn’t going to be possible.
