Canadian Politics Today

Man i'm tired of being politically correct (yes i actually hold myself back a lot GASP), **** everybody.

**** the system, **** the world, **** society.  I'm going to go live in the woods.

Triggered snowflake.

I didn't say Liberal, I said liberal.  Your understanding of these things is low.  You actually believe the Liberals are 'left'.  Too bad.

If you believe the Liberals are right then you are so far left that your claim to being in the middle is laughable.

You think the people at Twitter who banned Megan Murphy are conservatives?

Argus, good on ya for whiteknightin' Ms. Murphy... JT's helped to unleash your inner-feminist! Good on ya!

Oh God, it's Waldo, waddling in to look for more ways to insult people.

Oh but he does so much more intelligently than you.

If you believe the Liberals are right then you are so far left that your claim to being in the middle is laughable.

I didn't say that.

The mushies have a lot of power.

I'm not feeling that powerful right now. 



The banning of Meghan Murphy from Twitter and Gendertrender from WordPress both relate to current events in Vancouver.

An anonymous Vancouver trans woman (or, allegedly trans, at least) with the initials JY has filed BC Human Rights complaints against 16 Vancouver area aestheticians who refused to wax her lady-testicles.    There are Vancouver businesses that will happily perform a "Bro-Zillian" wax on male customers, but JY specifically sought out independent aestheticians who stated "women only" in their advertisements.  One tends to suspect that JY was more interested in filing Human Rights complaints than in actually getting her balls waxed.


Lawyer John Carpay represented one of these women pro-bono. If the name John Carpay rights a bell, it's probably because he was in hot water earlier this month after comparing the gay rights rainbow flag to the banners of the Nazis or the communists. Carpay runs the "Justice Center for Constitutional Freedoms", which I suspect is a pro-Jesus anti-gay think-tank.  Carpay wrote this piece for the "Post-Millennial", which provides some further information about JY and the nature of the complaints against these aestheticians.  I have a hunch that the "Post-Millennial" is a right-wing website of some kind. I really don't know.

The Justice Centre has been connected with only two of the 16 women, and has provided legal representation to both, without charge.

One of them, Shelah Poyer, is a single mom who works out of her home.  JY was willing to withdraw his complaint in exchange for $2,500.

If JY is demanding similar sums from the other 14 women, he stands to receive as much as $35,000 for dropping his human rights complaints.

For the women without legal representation, the temptation to settle is very strong.

Fighting JY’s discrimination complaint all the way through to a hearing would cost each esthetician $20,000 or $30,000 or more.

Further, those facing a complaint of “gender identity” discrimination may find it extremely difficult to obtain legal representation.

One of the women represented by the Justice Centre had approached, and had been turned down by 26 different lawyers and law firms. All of which cited lack of expertise in human rights proceedings, or fear of offending the transgender lobby, or both.

So how do Meghan Murphy and Gendertrender fit into this?  Gendertrender wrote a column about the situation that mentioned JY by name, and JY filed a complaint.  Someone asked Meghan Murphy if the JY in the HRC complaints was so-and-so, and she replied "yes, it's him." And now they're both gone.


JY's identity is no secret. And, as the John Carpay column explains, the tribunal's order of anonymity is bogus anyway.  It's not like JY would be harmed by being "outed", because she refers to herself in female pronouns on her website.  (even though she also refers to herself by her masculine first name throughout her website... "Matthew started her first business in 1997..." and so on.)  JY is "out", although it seems as though she only actually uses her female name and gender when she goes to the ladies gym.  Regardless, that she identifies as trans is public information.

Nonetheless, Gendertrender and Meghan Murphy have apparently received permanent bans for maliciously "outing" someone who is already "out".

JY is furiously filing all kinds of other complaints as well, to have damaging information removed from all over the internet.  JY has a very large digital footprint, and screenshots of her social network activity paint a very unflattering picture. From complaining that when he goes in the locker room he never sees **** and **** to asking creepy questions about how to approach adolescent girls to talk about tampons, this is a disturbing individual.  I've viewed a lot of these screenshots myself, and there is no doubt in my mind that JY is just a creepy incel who has decided to call himself transgender in an effort to force himself into womens' safe spaces, and to get female aestheticians to handle his dick.

Overall, it works but there are lots of things that don't make sense along the way.

Says who? The HRC is an unaccountable Kangaroo court that only benefits scammers who exploit it. Its basic operating rules need to overhauled and it needs to be written into its mandate that is cannot automatically assume that a complainant are sincere and the real victim may be the accused and that the HRC is only allowed to consider the intent of the accused (i.e. it makes no difference is the complainant "felt" like they were discriminated against. The only thing that matters is if it can be shown, on the balance of probabilities, that the accused intended to discriminate).
