What’s happening in Canada when the subject is trangenderism is a dystopian nightmare that could easily happen in a Democrat-run America.
Jordan
Peterson became world-famous in 2016 because he stood up to Canada’s
human rights law, which made it a crime to “misgender” someone. Since
then, Canada has slid even further into gender totalitarianism. The
latest example is a Canadian man who was sent to prison for refusing to
adopt his teenage daughter’s new masculine pronouns.
The
father and mother were not raising the child together, so it was only
when his daughter was 13 that the father learned that the girl’s public
school and his ex-wife had been working with the child to turn her into a
boy. This included pushing the child to take hormones to mimic male
sexual attributes such as facial hair and a deep voice.
The
father (who cannot be identified under Canadian law because doing so
would also identify his daughter) went to court, saying that he needed
to give parental consent before his child was permanently mutilated. Not
only did a British Columbia court rule against him, saying the father’s
consent wasn’t necessary, but the appellate judges also lectured him to understand gender dysphoria better.
While
the father could do nothing to stop the permanent changes wrought on
his daughter via hormone treatments, he steadfastly refused to refer to
his daughter by masculine pronouns. In today’s Canada, under the same
“human rights” laws that Peterson opposed, that is a criminal matter.
Last week, the Canadian government sent him to prison for “misgendering” his daughter:
There
is a man in Canada who can only be alluded to as He Who Shall Not Be
Named, the father to a child who is undergoing gender transition. For
the sake of natural justice, it is important to speak this man’s name.
He is now the Canadian state’s prisoner of conscience.
The
warrant was issued by a judge for the arrest of a father after calling
his biological female child his “daughter,” and referring to her with
the pronouns “she” and “her.” The father was found to be in contempt of
court.
The
father is a father to a gender non-conforming biological female
16-year-old who identifies as transgender and prefers the use of male
pronouns. The father has repeatedly called this person his daughter,
though the court has forbade it. The transition has been underway for
more than two years.
On
Tuesday at 10 am Vancouver time, the father surrendered himself to the
court in response to the Attorney General of British Columbia’s warrant
his arrest for contempt. He was the arrested and jailed. The warrant was
issued by Judge Tammen on March 4, 2021.
You should read the entire article at The Post Millennial
to appreciate the dystopian nightmare taking place north of us. Rather
than continuing to recount this long, depressing tale, I have two
separate points to make.
First, there is no science whatsoever to support pediatric transgenderism. This 2016 Harvard University article is a perfect example of the doubletalk masking this fact.
If
you drill down into the pediatric literature, you quickly discover that
the medical community has simply accepted transgenderism as a real
thing and wrapped “treatments” around this assumption. You can confirm
this by checking the “transgender” articles
at the American Academy of Pediatrics, the preeminent pediatric medical
association in America. None of the articles question transgenderism.
Instead, they encourage surgical and hormonal interventions.
Second,
you may not be surprised to learn that the girl’s mother is both a
psychologist and an endocrinologist. In other words, it’s likely that
she pathologized the child as part of her own issues and expertise.
In 1991, when transgenderism was still treated as a mental illness, not a political matter, a study
comparing mothers of boys who claimed they were transgender with
mothers of boys who did not discovered something fascinating:
“Fifty-three percent of the mothers of boys with GID compared with only
6% of controls met the diagnosis for Borderline Personality Disorder on
the Diagnostic Interview for Borderlines or had symptoms of depression
on the Beck Depression Inventory.”
Although the plural of anecdote is not data, the above finding is consistent with family dynamics seen in Jeffrey Younger’s fight
against his ex-wife, who was determined to turn their son into a girl.
That is, once again, it was a situation involving a mother acting
without the father's input. Additionally, as conservative commentator
Matt Walsh observed after watching HBO’s documentary about allegedly
transgender kids, crazy moms and weak or absent dads seem to lie at the center of many of these stories.
Don’t
point and laugh at the crazy Canadians. This is where Democrats are
pushing America and it won’t be funny at all when you find yourself in a
cell with a big guy named Bruno because you called your son “he” or
your daughter “she.”
