Here we go again....

ACanadian nurse is under investigation by a health regulator after complaints were made about an "I [heart] J.K. Rowling" billboard she paid for—a signage some argue supports the author's views on transgender people.

It's all become a bit 1984, hasn't it? The truth no longer matters;it's just about toeing the line. I am in despair.

Good luck, Amy.

Another one for the annals of “How Canada managed to be at the forefront of 21st Century McCarthyism”, an in-depth investigation of how a powerful but illogical set of ideas around social justice came to briefly dominate polite society in the teens and twenties, and resulted in countless women being demonised and persecuted for understanding that humans don’t change sex, and women’s rights are important, coming to a bookshop near you in 2035. I’ve got it on pre order.

'We cannot, as a society, continue down this path and remain a free society."

Indeed. Good luck, Amy Hamm.

Amy Hamm is being investigated by the British Columbia College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM) following complaints that her view that identifying as trans does not equate to changing biological sex would threaten "trans and gender-diverse communities," according to Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) lawyers representing the nurse.

Anyone else’s head explode at the dissonance in that sentence.

A nurse, being investigated by a professional body that requires extensive knowledge of the human body, for holding the opinion a person cannot change sex. Because to say it out loud is threatening to the group of people who wish to live in a world where everyone pretends to believe the impossible.

Thanks for sharing screamingmeme. I hope sense will prevail in this investigation. I await their judgment statement.
