    It's the 21st Century and forced sterilization is still a thing

    Ya, time zones suck. Well I did repost what the article said. There was no consent to remove the left fallopian tube. No reason for the forced sterilization. From the article. "Documents show an anesthetist and surgical nurse became alarmed when Kotaska said during the surgery to remove the...

    It's the 21st Century and forced sterilization is still a thing

    Well considering the "White institution" of Religion has seriously fucked them over, how health "care" has fucked them over, how "education" has fucked them over, I'm not sure why anyone thinks they DON'T have a reason to hate "White" people. LOL - true nuff. I'm sure if you asked others...

    It's the 21st Century and forced sterilization is still a thing

    I'll reply to the rest of this later, gotta sleep for work tonight, but... Dr. Andrew Kotaska was found to have engaged in unprofessional conduct after removing both fallopian tubes from an Inuk patient. Photo courtesy of Andrew Kotaska The case involves Dr. Andrew Kotaska, who performed an...

    It's the 21st Century and forced sterilization is still a thing

    Racist... I suppose I could be racist against white people. It's possible to be racist against anyone/everyone. Moreso I'm just rather disgusted that people who could be white would force sterilize Natives, considering the history that's already out there over this kind'a thing. As you...

    It's the 21st Century and forced sterilization is still a thing

    What if the doctors were non-white? No, it doesn't matter; forced sterilization is still forced sterilization. (To be transparent, I DO think there should be instances of such but that involves crimes, not just because). But as you said, it could still be other races, and it would still be...

    True, I'm assuming that the doctors involved were all white. I saw this image and story and assumed. https://www.nnsl.com/news/canadas-indigenous-women-forcibly-sterilized-decades-after-other-rich-countries-stopped/ So, it may not be all white doctors. But white doctors are doing it, which...

    https://montreal.ctvnews.ca/quebec-court-authorizes-class-action-over-alleged-sterilization-of-indigenous-women-1.6529550 And some people wonder why Native people are still pissed off at White folk.

    I think overall we're a 'agree to disagree' in a lot of it. And that's fine in the end. I will say this though, when you asked: "In all honesty, somebody here, who lives and breathes sports (& that’s not me) probably already knows this answer, but are the classifications in sport broken down...

    As TB pointed out, not all parents are good with their kids sometimes. The reasoning behind 713 to begin with was to give kids who are GLBTQIA+ a 'safe zone' where if they wanted to socially transition, or "test the waters" I guess, they could without fear of it getting to their parent(s) who...

    Yes, and in that review, which Higgs is now going over, it says that Higgs violated the Charter for the kids. https://atlantic.ctvnews.ca/new-brunswick-s-child-and-youth-advocate-to-review-changes-to-lgbtq-policy-in-schools-1.6466712...

    Pretty much, but that's okay. I still am enjoying the discussion. Automatically? Nothing. It takes trans women years to come to terms, usually, with being who they are. That said, that is changing because there are trans kids now being allowed to be recognized for the gender they are. We...

    Yes, because one is a man and the other is a woman (or trans women, but still women regardless of the prefix before 'woman') They can be to some, yes, but that's a societal issue and misogyny issue, not a fault of the trans woman. Are you a man just because you say you are? Well Anne I'm...

    To you I sidestepped the question. Trans women are women, thus they should compete in female sports. Now, I do think there should be conditions for them to qualify, such as needing to have more feminine levels of testosterone in order to compete, to have proper estrogen levels. They should...

    My opinion? All the Trans issue is based on misogyny. It is bigotry regardless. As for on whose part, that depends. I don't think you're being a dick; at least you seem to be genuinely curious or willing to want to learn about it. Which is more than some at least. Even if you don't "agree"...

    Men in women's sports, and trans women in women's sports, are two different things. Well that's part of the point I guess. Good thing we're not talking men competing against women in sports then. Trans women aren't men.

    Oh, just learned this today... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madge_Syers Damn... those weak women (or one badass woman) needed a division all on their own, obviously! Or maybe it was the jealous, pussified men? Ya, all this "Concern" about "protect women's sports!" is just BS.

    Oh, for the anti-trans folks... question. Explain to me please, how if the thing about banning trans women from women's sports is because they "Are men" and thus are at an advantage due to strength, body size, etc... What's the reason to ban trans women from CHESS...

    https://abc7.com/pride-flag-shooting-store-owner-cedar-glen/13681489/ Tell me again that anyone who is GLBTQIA+, or an ally, is somehow overblowing things for being afraid to be who they are? Or do people think she deserved to be murdered for being an Ally?

    Okay, thanks! So looking into it beyond a short on youtube I found this. https://www.oregonlive.com/news/2023/08/portland-cancer-patients-story-goes-viral-after-she-says-ohsu-denied-care-over-her-criticism-of-transgender-flag.html A typical "more to the story" and it explains why the woman...
