Canada Self ID: evidence for and against

[Justabunchofcunts]

I thought it would be good to have a thread capturing how self-Id in Canada is or isn't working. Starting to see lots of 'it's fine in Canada' comments so it would be good to understand what is actually happening. And any issues to raise.

Good idea. I'm sorry I won't be aware of any given Canadian news site's political inclinations but here goes:

A sexual predator who falsely claimed to be transgender and preyed on women at two Toronto shelters was jailed indefinitely on Wednesday.

Justice John McMahon declared Christopher Hambrook — who claimed to be a transgender woman named Jessica — was a dangerous offender.

This whole article is worth a read. It mentions a few cases

Christopher “Jessica” Hambrook, serial rapist, sexually assaulted and terrorized women after being placed in Toronto area Women’s Shelters

"A senior citizen confronted with a “trans woman” in a Toronto YMCA women’s locker room who forced her to view his erect penis, and asked her “do you come here often?”- was recently told by authorities that males have an “absolute” legal right to placement in public areas traditionally sex-segregated for female safety, under new legal “Gender Identity” statutes, which override former sex-based protections for women and girls."
