Canada’s woke Stasi

Under other circumstances, former school trustee Barry Neufeld may have retired as one of your curmudgeonly, albeit amusing, elderly neighbours, equipped with a brash sense of humour, a glass of wine and a cigarette. Had he not introduced himself at a recent panel event I spoke on in Victoria, British Columbia (BC) about the harms of gender-identity ideology, I would never have pegged him as a supposed hate-monger. He seemed rather jovial, in fact. Yet the Canadian media and some of Canada’s most powerful unions see things differently. They have made Neufeld their nemesis.

Neufeld is now in his seventies. His troubles began in 2017. This was when he discovered a new gender-identity curriculum for kids coming down the pike in his school district of Chilliwack, BC. This was the year that the SOGI (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity) 123 programme was implemented in public schools across the province, with the aim of making classrooms more ‘inclusive’ for LGBT-identified kids. That same year, Bill C-16 was passed by the national parliament, adding ‘gender identity’ to the list of protected characteristics under the Canadian Human Rights Act. Both pieces of legislation were introduced with little public debate and most Canadians were completely unaware of what was even happening.

But Neufeld noticed and spoke out on Facebook, criticising SOGI 123 for instructing ‘children that gender is not biologically determined, but is a social construct’. ‘At the risk of being labelled a bigoted homophobe’, he wrote, ‘I have to say that I support traditional family values and I agree with the [American College of Pediatricians] that allowing little children to choose to change gender is nothing short of child abuse’.

WAR ON WOMEN: Transgender (Bio Male) College Volleyball Player Viciously Smashes Ball Off Female Opponent’s Face, Sending Her Crumbling to the Floor

The war on American female sports continues unabated as a controversial trans volleyball player sent a vicious spike straight off her female opponent’s face this week.

As The Daily Mail reported, the incident occurred during a volleyball match between the San Diego State Aztecs and the San Jose State Spartans on Thursday. The Spartans, who are led by 6-foot-1 biological male Blaire Fleming, lost the first set and 22-12 in the second when the terrifying scene unfolded.

As one can see in the video below, Fleming was set up by teammate Brooke Slusser before rocketing a spike off the face of San Diego State’s Keira Herron. The young woman immediately fell to the floor.

“Keira Herron has some pink in her hair and her face is starting to look like she’s matching that as obviously she took the contact,” one of the announcers observed.

Obama Admits Black Men Don’t Like Kamala – Then Blames Their Distrust on Misogyny

Barack Obama has admitted that black people are not excited about Kamala Harris’s candidacy and warned that she is particularly struggling with black men.

Speaking to reporters at a campaign event in Pennsylvania on Friday, the former president said he is not seeing the same level of enthusiasm as he experienced back in 2008.

“In our communities we have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all quarters of our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when I was running,” he explained.

“Now, I also want to say that it seems to be more pronounced with brothers,” he continued, a reference to black men.

According to The New York Times, Obama expanded upon his remarks to a group of volunteers and urged black men to get with the program, suggesting their sole issue with Harris is that she is woman.

“You’re coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses,” he said “I’ve got a problem with that. Part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you’re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that.”

“Women in our lives have been getting our backs this entire time,” he continued. “When we get in trouble and the system isn’t working for us, they’re the ones out there marching and protesting.”

Obama’s comments corroborate widespread reports that Obama was concerned about Harris being coronated as the Democratic nominee because he is not convinced she can defeat Donald Trump.

Female, black applicants who failed Maryland State Police tests likely to receive $2.75M in back pay from discrimination suit

The Maryland Department of State Police agreed to settle a Department of Justice lawsuit to the tune of $2.75 million, which will provide back pay to female and black applicants who failed the physical fitness and written tests.

The physical fitness exam, called the Functional Fitness Assessment Test, required applicants to complete 18 push-ups in one minute, 27 sit-ups in one minute, run 1.5 miles within 15 minutes and 20 seconds, and reach approximately 1.5 inches past their toes while seated. Candidates were allowed to take the test up to three times in one year.

“The rate at which female applicants passed the FFAT at least once is statistically significantly lower than the rate at which male applicants passed the FFAT at least once; and the female applicant pass rate is less than 80% of the male applicant pass rate,” the complaint read.

The written exam, the Police Officer Selection Test, included four components: mathematics, reading comprehension, grammar, and report writing skills. To pass, candidates had to achieve an aggregate score of at least 70% on all sections combined and minimally 70% on reading comprehension, grammar, and report writing skills. There was no minimum required score for the math component. Candidates could take the test four times within a year.

The lawsuit said that roughly 91% of white and 71% of black applicants passed at least once.

The lawsuit claimed that both the FFAT and the POST, which are used by MDSP to screen trooper applicants, are “not job related or consistent with business necessity.”

The DOJ argued that MDSP’s screening “results in a disparate impact” on female and black candidates.

“MDSP’s use of the POST has disproportionately excluded African-American applicants, and its use of the FFAT has disproportionately excluded female applicants, from employment as troopers,” the lawsuit stated.

MDSP was accused of violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin.

On Wednesday, the DOJ announced that the MDSP has agreed to settle the lawsuit.

Outrage As BBC Asks Viewers Of Breast Cancer Documentary To “Check Your Chests”

Breast cancer survivors have expressed disgust after the BBC aired a documentary on the matter and encouraged viewers to “check your chests.”

Yes, really. They dared not say the word ‘breasts’ when advising women to self examine their breasts. 

Ok, men can get cancer in their chests, but it’s still called ‘breast cancer’, the disease overwhelmingly affects women and the entire documentary was about women.

It’s clear that enforced ‘inclusivity’ language was at play here.

German Court Forces Podcasters To Delete Episode Where They Referred To Balding Trans-Identified Male As “He/Him”

A podcast episode of Hoss and Hopf had to be deleted by court order because the moderators called a trans-identified man “a man” and used male pronouns to refer to him. The podcasters may be facing potential prison time or a fine of up to €250,000.

In the controversial podcast episode, the hosts discussed the case of Laura Holstein, formerly known as Nicolas. Holstein, a balding male who now identifies as a “woman,” has made multiple headlines over the past few months related to him demanding access to female spaces. Most recently, Holstein, with the support of the Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency, has been pursuing legal action against a female-only gym in Bavaria.

But the Frankfurt am Main Regional Court has now stopped in to order the censorship of the Hoss and Hopf episode related to Holstein. The hosts, Kiarash Hossainpour and Philip Hopf, have also been prohibited from referring to Holstein as a man and using male pronouns for him.

A Back To School Must Read: Trans Gender Toolkit For Parents And Grandparents

Parents and grandparents have been worried and frightened about the impact of gender-transitioning on American families. Some feel lost and as confused as their own children and grandchildren. 

Restore Childhood’s has published a guideline with a simple toolkit to assist families to navigate this terrain. 

They have published An URGENT Conversation: What to Know About Children, Gender & School Policy.

Gender Toolkit has links for a printable postcard, flier and business card, all with QR codes that lead to the toolkit download.

Please share these materials within your schools and communities and use them to hold informed discussions with all stakeholders who work with children. 

This toolkit is intended to rise about the noise and give parents and grandparents information they need to navigate what is being thrown at children today that is invading families who feel helpless when this issue lands on their doorsteps. 

“England’s Cass Review is the most comprehensive published report of systematic reviews of international scientific studies in children with gender dysphoria to date. The recommendations are specific for addressing gender dysphoria in children in the UK, but are applicable to other nations,” states the Gender Toolkit. “There is no expert clinical consensus regarding the treatment of children who meet diagnostic criteria for gender dysphoria.”

“About 1,000 U.S. school districts have policies that allow keeping secrets from parents,” states Dr. Erica Anderson, who is a psychiatrist who has been warning Americans that pushing puberty blockers and transition operations on children is dangerous.

It is time that parents and guardians to get informed about the truth instead accepting the medical mantra that if one is not gender-affirming then a child will commit suicide. 

A noteworthy interview pertaining to this topic can be found here on CDM.

Trans advocate Roxy Tickle wins discrimination case after being banned from women-only app Giggle in Australian court

An Australian male has won his case against the female founder of women’s only app Giggle for Girls after she said the male, who identifies as a woman, was not permitted on the app due to his being male. A judge has awarded the male, who goes by Roxanne Tickle, $10,000 in compensation for being kicked off the platform. Giggle founder Sall Grover has vowed to continue fighting, and the decision can be appealed. 

She wasn’t surprised by the ruling, writing “Unfortunately, we got the judgement we anticipated. The fight for women’s rights continues.”

The court determined that Tickle, in the case called Tickle v. Giggle, has been “indirectly discriminated against” in being disallowed from accessing Giggle. “The indirect discrimination cases succeeded because Ms Tickle was excluded from the use of the Giggle app because she did not look sufficiently female according to the respondents,” said Justice Robert Bromwich. 

He said that Giggle could not be an app for women only and had to accept men who identify as women, thought he attempted to differentiate discrimination by gender identity from discrimination based on sex. Tickle had sought $20,000, but Bromwich only awarded half of that, $10,000. Tickle had been blocked from the app in 2021 despite his birth certificate having been changed to reflect his gender identity. Tickle claimed that “Up until this instance, everybody has treated me as a woman.”

Tickle had sought the excessive damages after claiming that Grover had been, essentially, too vocal about the case, and Tickle, on Twitter, later renamed X. In a clip posted to X, Tickle can be seen explaining the transformation from presenting as a man to presenting as a woman. On the Australian show Insight, Tickle was asked “Roxy, you’re a transgender woman from regional New South Wales. You played hockey for 10 years when you were 16-years-old, but you stopped when you 26. Why?”

Taxpayer-Funded Posters in London Proclaim “Hey Straight White Men Pass The Power!”

A taxpayer-funded group is once again putting up posters around London that say, “Hey Straight White Men Pass The Power!”

Yes, really.

The posters, which originally appeared in Southwark, London and other areas of the UK in 2022, appear to have popped up once again, with an image posted to X showing one in Acton, London.

They are the work of an art project called the Artichoke Trust and were designed by a black artist from Marseille called Nadina who previously produced ‘street art’ that proclaimed, ‘Never forget George Floyd’ and ‘Nobody is free until Palestine is free’.

“Research from the Taxpayers’ Alliance claimed (the group) had been given £3million from a government art grant,” reported the Daily Mail.

Respondents questioned precisely what ‘power’ straight white men were supposed to give up in a society where they are already disenfranchised to the extent that large, partially government-funded billboards in major cities scream at them for merely existing.

You Can’t Make This Up: DNC Press Filing Center Removes Ladies’ Room in Latest Woke Stunt—Also Features a ‘Gender-Neutral Prayer Room’

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has taken its “woke” agenda to new heights by removing the ladies’ room from the press filing center.

Susan Ferrechio, a reporter for The Washington Times, revealed this absurdity on X Monday, igniting outrage among conservatives and common-sense Americans alike.

For years, the far-left has pushed its radical LGBTQ+ agenda on the public, targeting everything from school curricula to parental rights. Now, it seems, even basic amenities like gender-specific restrooms are being sacrificed on the altar of woke ideology.

Reporter Jeryl Bier, explained that according to the map of the United Center provided by the DNC, each level of the center features at least four M/W restroom pairings, except on each floor, one of those pairings replaces the Women’s restroom with an “all-gender” restroom instead.

“I would assume this is the explanation for what Susan Ferrechio reports: the press filing center must be located near one of the Men’s/All Gender pairings, so if a woman reporter wants to use a Women’s room, she has to go to another corner of that level,” he added.
