Stumbled across this tonight. Not sure if there’s anything woke, but it’s weird.
Poilievre says biological men don’t belong in woman’s spaces. That’s it. “Female spaces should be exclusively for females, not for biological males,” he said
Trudeau responds repeatedly stating Poilievre is attacking the LGBTQ-etc… community, but they’re never mentioned by Poilievre, at all….& Trudeau accuses Poilievre of being divisive, etc…Speaking from Edmonton, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau did not address the substance of the issue, but attacked Conservative politicians for wanting to “pick up a fight” with the LGBTQ community.
An Angus Reid survey, which was released Sept. 19, 2023 found a clear majority of Canadians opposed to the adoption of “gender neutral” terminology, particularly when it came to issues such as menstruation or childbirth. For instance, it is now standard for Canadian public health agencies to use the term “
pregnant people” instead of “pregnant women.” Select health agencies have also adopted the term “chestfeeding” as a synonym for “breastfeeding” and this still has nothing to do with Poilievre said that biological men shouldn’t be in women’s safe spaces.
As far back as 2016, Angus Reid found
more than 80 per cent of Canadians supporting the addition of gender identity to the country’s anti-discrimination laws, but respondents were more skeptical of a push to have transgender people use washrooms and change rooms that accorded with their gender identity, rather than their biological sex.
Poilievre said that many gender-related spaces are either provincially or municipally regulated and cannot be legislated by the federal government, so “it is unclear” what a future Conservative government could do to restrict them to girls and women who were born female.
“But obviously, female sports, female change rooms, female bathrooms should be for females — not for biological males,” he said.
Not to be left out, but also to not say anything actually asked of him, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh skirted the question of “women-only” spaces by insisting that domestic violence or harassment and abuse perpetrated by male coaches towards women in sports are far more pressing issues that should be addressed to protect women??
What? What the Hell Jagmeet? Did you hear the question? As well as Justin heard Pierre’s answer to it?
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre agrees with restricting trans women from female sports categories and accessing “women-only” spaces.
