This guy yapping about "rights" as if he cares about gay people, women or anyone who disagrees with him. I wonder if his personal finances depend on his ability to continue getting federal tax dollars to spread gender ideology & oppose the charter rights of women? Anyone know the $ behind this?

"No child consents to drag queen story hour. No parent consents to leather harnesses on city floats. No woman consents to being exposed to male sexuality in the ladies’ room, or in the school library, or anywhere she cannot opt out. Consent is not just for sex. It’s for everything."
Let’s be clear: If I’m not going to sleep with you, I don’t need to know anything about your sexuality. And children—who are not going to sleep with anyone—certainly don’t. Your sexuality is not sacred. It’s not a personality, it’s not a protected class of performance art, and it’s not the center of anyone’s moral universe but your own. Unless we are in a relationship, I am not obligated to acknowledge, affirm, or be exposed to your private desires—especially not in public, and especially not in front of children. This used to be understood. Now it’s called hate. No, We Don’t Owe You an Audience Sexuality belongs in the private realm. It is intimate by definition. If you feel compelled to wear your kink on your sleeve—or on a float, or in a first-grade classroom—you are not inviting understanding, you are demanding submission. You are violating others’ right not to participate. Consent doesn’t vanish because your fetish is “progressive.” If anything, the burden is higher. No one consents to being flashed on the subway. No one consents to a stranger’s arousal. No one consents to a stranger telling their child about masturbation, kink, gender identity, or pornographic categories under the guise of “inclusive sex ed.” Yet all of this is happening now—in public parks, in classrooms, in televised programming. It is not tolerance. It is invasion. Children Are Not Here to Validate You Children are not queer. Children are not sexual. Children do not need to “see themselves represented” in a spectrum of adult desire. This idea—that identity is only valid if sexualized and mirrored—is narcissism, not pedagogy. There is no legitimate reason to initiate a child into the language of sexual preference, gender identity, or alternative lifestyles. The only people who benefit from that dynamic are those looking to normalize boundary violations. Let me state it plainly: Children who are not going to have sex do not need to be exposed to sexuality. Period. Any adult who insists otherwise is not confused. They are grooming. Public Fetishism Is Not Liberation There is a vast difference between being gay and demanding the right to simulate sex acts in front of children. Between being transgender and insisting on teaching kindergartners about breast removal. Between being proud of who you are and insisting the whole world observe your kink play in the street. This is not diversity. This is decay. Men in dog masks being walked on leashes by their lovers are not brave—they are forcing strangers into their psychodrama. This is exhibitionism, and when children are present, it becomes criminal exhibitionism. We used to know this. Peeping, flashing, voyeurism—these were considered red flags. Dangerous behaviors. Early signs of escalation. Now they’re filmed, hashtagged, and funded by public grants. Stop Calling It Love—It’s Entitlement This is not about who you love. It’s about how you demand to be seen. If you need the entire public to witness, applaud, and adapt to your sexuality, you’re not a pioneer—you’re an emotional colonizer. Love does not demand a captive audience. It does not parade past toddlers. It does not demand that schools teach four-year-olds about “preferred pronouns.” Love protects children. Love guards modesty. Love waits. And if you can’t wait—if you need to be seen, affirmed, and obeyed—you’re not talking about love. You’re talking about power. Consent Applies to Culture, Too We teach children that consent is sacred—so why are we failing to apply that lesson to public life? No child consents to drag queen story hour. No parent consents to leather harnesses on city floats. No woman consents to being exposed to male sexuality in the ladies’ room, or in the school library, or anywhere she cannot opt out. Consent is not just for sex. It’s for everything. Attention. Language. Presence. Ideology. Imagery. And we are done pretending we don’t notice when it’s violated. The boundary is back. And we are drawing it in bold.

The party that vowed to remove the ideological claptrap of SOGI from BC’s schools just won a super majority. Sanity and child safeguarding is gradually being restored, bit by bit, even in Canada.

The headline sums it up nicely. When the snap election was called, my FB feed was flooded with progressives defending the decision, parroting NDP talking points, and celebrating rosy polling numbers. The arrogance was palpable. Tonight is a reality check. Hopefully, some are finally ready to hear it. The clear majority of British Columbians are sick of ideology over reality and common sense. Sick of orange man bad speeches. Sick of politicians who think that they're above accountability. Sick of a society that has an ever increasing number of citizens living on the streets and lined up at food banks. Sick of the endless talk of compassion while the BC Human Rights Tribunal and other professional bodies are weaponized to thwart free speech. And sick of broken promises and economic mismanagement. I hope the BC NDP takes this result seriously and does some real soul-searching. Because when you stop listening to people, don't be surprised when they stop listening to you.National Post nationalpost.com/opinion/ada… via @nationalpost

It's not complicated. Most women do not consent to the transgression of our boundaries and our spaces by men regardless of how they perceive themselves. No so called progressive women can consent on our behalf. We say no. Thank you for coming to my Terf Talk.

She is in the elite artistic upper class of Canadian society! She does not have to ever deal with having to share a dirty public restroom with a dude because she will never ever need to be in that train or bus station at 11 at night coming home from a job. She will never share a shelter with a man because she will never be homeless. And finally no doubt she will never be incarcerated so will not share sleeping quarters with male inmates. That is why she can believe what she does. reduxx.info/exclusive-baldin…

David Eby's cynical snap election call is completely BACKFIRING as BC Conservatives are projected to win a massive majority. This is absolutely beautiful.

"Women's safety deserves more than marketing." #BoycottLyft
🚨 @lyft, women deserve a straight answer. 🚨 Your Women+ Connect program promises a preference for women (and nonbinary) riders. What happens when a passenger raises a safety concern? What happens when a driver calls the police to make false accusations? What happens when a driver boots a rider (who uses a walker, may we add) because of her beliefs? Publish the answers. Women's safety deserves more than marketing. #BoycottLyft #WTFDidWeJustRead

Oh look! It never happens, happened again!
A transgender sex offender has been arrested in Minnesota after posing as a teen girl to try and enroll at a local high school. "Makayla" Alec Ray Craig, who identifies as a female cat, had previously been arrested for the same crime in Oregon last year. reduxx.info/transgender-sex-…

Quebec voters rejected the "Trump boogeyman" narrative a few weeks ago. Let's hope British Columbians do the same.

We got into a @lyft after being assaulted & ejected by @ThornsFC . One of our party is disabled w/a walker. The driver started the ride & then asked us if we were "the ones in the news" from the game. One of us said yes, & he immediately stopped the ride 1/n

I was bought skates, but never taken to a single lesson. I was bought the outfit but never saw the inside of a rink. I learned early what bait and switch was, even if I didnt know the term. The last thing that would have been allowed was me in sports, I might have found my voice long ago, I may have found an adult I could trust. Maybe the abuse would have ended years before my 15th birthday. Girls need a place they can run, dance, box, play soccer, do gymnastics or even ice skate. They cannot do so if a boy is lurking in their locker room and or on their teams. We are not asking for much, we do not want your money, power or influence. We only want what is fair, sex segregated sports and spaces. #protectgirlssports #fairisfair

It was only a matter of time, and that time has arrived. 'If it is being done to validate the doctor's own identity, it just makes the situation even more sinister? A hospital staff member said: 'It should now be very clear why Dr Upton wanted to come to work in Australia. Our laws, as they stand, mean he is regarded as a woman here.’ Are Australian women about to get a dose of what Sandie Peggie endured?

Please note that while the BC/Yukon chapter of WDI doesn’t do X, you can check out @WDICanada and @WDI_Quebec !!
BC women's rights groups collaborated to ask candidates in this election about sex-based rights. You can see who's responded (and hasn't) here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets…
