Unlike his predecessor, Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister Mark Carney isn’t known for making flamboyant declarations of allyship to Canada’s 2SLGBTQIA+ community. But don’t be deceived: our national fealty to gender ideology remains the same as it was during the Trudeau years. Canada is no less woke under Carney.
Some may believe that Trudeau’s departure, coupled with international blows to the excesses of this ideology, marked the end of Canada’s struggle with the more absurd, anti-reality aspects of trans activism. Unfortunately, that is untrue.
Fighting gender ideology in Canada is a war of attrition. And more than ever, those on the front lines need armaments and sustenance.
Remember the case of Jessica Yaniv? The transgender-identifying Yaniv filed numerous human rights complaints against female immigrant estheticians for declining to wax male genitalia. Yaniv lost the cases at the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal (on a technicality) and has largely fallen out of the public’s eye. Until now.
Yaniv, now going by the name Jessica Simpson, has ongoing litigation against Canada Galaxy Pageants that is crawling its way through the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario. Since 2019, Simpson has been seeking damages from the pageant company for refusing to allow Simpson to participate in a beauty pageant
The pageant is open to girls as young as six and contestants undress together backstage. Canada Galaxy Pageants’ policy rightly prohibits people with intact male genitalia from competing.
The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) has been representing the company in what it describes as “a human rights case … that (deals) with whether children’s emotional, mental and physical safety should take precedence over a transwoman’s desire to access a female changeroom.”
The JCCF recently asked the tribunal to dismiss the case and expects a decision in the coming weeks.
Elsewhere, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s progressive — in the true sense of the word — legislation to ban “gender-affirming care” for minors has been (at least temporarily) thwarted by a court injunction. As such, an obvious, globally recognized medical scandal carries on, harming additional Canadian youth.
In National Post this week, Terry Newman detailed how Hockey Canada recently threatened the certification of its members who do not fall in line and take a course on gender identity and expression.
The organization allows players to compete according to their gender identity, rather than their biological sex — placing females at higher risk of injury.
CaWsbar, a non-profit that I co-founded, also has ongoing litigation against the Canadian government to remove biological males from women’s prisons across the country.
For years, female inmates have effectively been locked in cages with dangerous male sex offenders, including those at B.C.’s Fraser Valley Institution, who live alongside a rapist, murderer and pedophile known as Tara Desousa.
The prison also runs a mother-child program. Read that again: there is a convicted male pedophile-rapist-killer in a women’s prison where babies and children also live.
Clearly, the war against gender ideology in Canada is still being waged. Carney has said and done nothing to address the appalling legal injustices, the attacks on freedom of speech and belief, the loss of women’s sex-based rights or the threats of harm faced by women and children as a result of gender ideology’s stranglehold over this country.
Carney is sophisticated enough to understand that he would repulse the average voter by attempting to replicate Trudeau’s moralizing or ostentatious “allyship.” But, do not be lulled into a false sense of moderation. Trudeau is gone. But radical gender ideology is not.
