It appears there is some pretty horrific propaganda going into Canadian schools - wonder how long it will be before anything this blatant makes it over here...

"Educational" books being used in Canadian schools;:

Opening page introduces the concept of transphobia and the following scenario is used as an example of transphobia.

In large, bold, coloured print, a student tells the coach a boy shouldn’t be on the girls’ track team because he is “bigger, stronger, and faster”.

Students quickly learn it is highly undesirable to be known as a lesbian.

In a quiz to find out if you’re a transphobe, students in Grade 7 learn what thoughts and opinions are acceptable for them to think....

Yy nose

In fact it's almost turned into a game now. Where they literally do nothing to themselves and unless you can somehow see these gendered souls and refer to them as she at all times and know instantly someone is a woman you are a transphobic bigot and about to get sued

I think you're right, nosering, about the allies.

But I disagree that it will be the downfall of the TRA movement as there will always be people who want to show how woke and inclusive they are so the more the boundaries move the more they will move with them. The allies are useful idiots but as soon as women have become entrenched as third class citizens they will be dumped.

Fair point Astonished, I think I'm just hopeful that it will help more people become aware of the tactics and see how dangerous the TRAs can be.

I'm with 100% on that!

Oh my god! These questions / statements just show a complete inability to engage with coherent or rational thought.

For instance: ‘I have the right to judge other people’.

What does that even mean? Is it asking me if I think I am a judge, either of a mags court or a tribunal or the high court or the court of appeal or Supreme Court? Presumably not.

So what does it mean? Presumably: ‘I have the right to draw conclusions about whether another person’s behaviour is appropriate, kind, reasonable, constructive, moral or sensible’. (I can’t think of anything else.)

But who on earth would disagree with this? We judge in this sense every time we engage with another human being. We can’t help it. That is what being human is: we decide who we like or don’t like, who we’re frightened of, who we love, who we want to spend time with, who to trust, who to avoid, on the basis of their manner and behaviour, their words and their works, and our judgement of these.

Judging others enables us to make friends, to take lovers, to vote for political parties, to support our children in their journey to adulthood, and to campaign against the evils we see around us. A life without judgment would be a life of social vacancy and moral idiocy.

We’re encouraged to be discreet, generally, about our negative social judgements, just out of tact and common sense and kindness, but that isn’t what this is getting at, is it?

The people who wrote this couldn’t think their way out of a paper bag. Which isn’t their fault, but inflicting their numbheadedness on the public really is. I am despairing. Stupidity prancing around on stilts.
