So, what is a woman? Does it matter? There’s no such thing as a woman, progressives said. Biological essentialism is so colonial, progressives said. Only white supremacists cling to the sex binary, progressives said. Men who say they are women are women, progressives said.
Well, if there’s no such thing as women, if sex isn’t real, then what’s the big deal? Men can be women. Women’s rights are racist and genocidal because they exclude men who want to be women and that’s literally like a kind of death to not be validated. That Australian judge in the Giggle v Tickle Case apparently thinks humans can change sex— Sall Grover was so mean to a male woman, how dare she. So, this outrage over the Taliban Gender Morality Law is a nothing-burger. Since men can be women, how do I know some of those Taliban aren’t actually women? And that those women aren’t men? Did we ask their gender identity? No we didn’t. What if you’re akshually super-harsh transph0be bigots? Anyway, what’s the big deal? It’s fine, there’s no sex binary, so why is everyone so concerned when you all already said there’s no sex binary?
It’s weird how Canadian media called Meghan Murphy controversial for saying men shouldn’t compete in women’s sport and men aren’t women. Humans who have experienced male puberty have a physical advantage over those who did not, that’s proven and undisputable fact.
It’s weird how Meghan Murphy and Jenn Smith, both members of the LGBT community, still faced exclusions and threats and targeted harassment campaigns organized against them—all supposedly in defense of LBGT people. Murphy, a gay woman, faced repeated death threats that forced her to leave the country—the cops would not or could not protect her. Smith, a Christian trans-identified man who spent parts of childhood in the child welfare system, opposes child transition and has written and spoken widely about it. Smith has encountered censorship and cancellation and other abuses for challenging Trudeau gender morality laws.
It’s weird how this same Canadian media who receives money to defend Trudeau Gender Morality laws then can purport to stand up for women’s liberation from the patriarchy by criticising Taliban Gender Morality laws. Canadian media paints sole breadwinner of her family Amy Hamm as a bigot who should lose her nursing license for saying men can’t be women and that women shouldn’t be forcibly chaperoned by men everywhere, including change-rooms and washrooms and rape shelters. The Canadian media defended attacks on a female exclusive rape shelter by the Gender Morality Mafia, it justified the City of Vancouver removing funding from the female exclusive rape shelter, for the offense of excluding men. The Canadian media routinely features male women as spokespeople for women’s issues and feminism. The Canadian media has endorsed the exploitation of the memory of the Montreal Massacre femicide by the Gender Morality Mafia.
It’s fascinating how the media which vilified Hamm as an extremist bigot for opposing Gender Morality Laws (GML) then sympathises with a woman in Afghanistan who also opposes GMLs and who’s also supporting her family and struggling with loss of income.
The Canadian media ignores or demonises the victims of Trudeau rule, who have suffered hardship from Gender Morality Laws, and feel quite hopeless and worried for the future.
The Canadian media sympathetically portrays the victim of Taliban rule, who has suffered hardship from Gender Morality Laws, as feeling quite hopeless and worried for the future.
That dissonance or disconnect between the progressive vision of female people in the west versus the east fascinates me all the way to next year!
The Canadian media caring about the victims of the Talibans draconian Gender Morality Laws
From Global News Report, 23.8.24
“I am the breadwinner of my family. We are just four persons in my family: me, my sister and my parents. My father is sick now. We don’t have anything in our kitchen to prepare for dinner or for our night,” she said. “It’s so hard for me. I don’t know how I can continue my life.” In Afghanistan, the Taliban continues its crackdown on women's rights with a long list of so-called “morality rules.” It's now illegal for Afghan women to sing, recite or read aloud in public, with offenders facing punishments of losing property or spending three days in detention,” reports Kathryn Mannie for the Global News.

“Niloofar had been a top-ranked high school student, an engineering graduate from Kabul University, a respected irrigation systems designer and a university lecturer. When we spoke by video in 2022, the 29-year-old was struggling to survive on the streets of Istanbul, Turkey, begging for work and food. She rested in subway stations during the day and walked the streets at night to avoid men trying to buy or force sexual favors,” writes Katharine Lake Berz for the Toronto Star.

"The Taliban are not going to be different just if the government is issuing strongly worded statements," said Friba Rezayee, the executive director of Women Leaders of Tomorrow, a Vancouver-based organization that advocates for Afghan womens' education and empowerment. "What's happening in Afghanistan now is that the Taliban have a monopoly over violence. They want to keep the public and the people uneducated and ignorant so that they can promote their ideology," Rezayee said,” reports Raffy Boudjikanian for CBC.
The Canadian media denying victims of Trudeau’s draconian Gender Morality Laws
From BC CTV News 11.1.19
“During the event, [Meghan Murphy] defended some of her more contentious opinions, including that [men who pretend to be women] shouldn't be allowed to compete against [women] in sporting events, or use women's change rooms.”
From CBC News 4.8.2019
“ … members of the LGBT community such as trans people, non-binary individuals and people with disabilities are still being left out and left behind and more needs to be done … This year, Vancouver Pride banned the Vancouver Public Library from participating in the parade because it allowed a controversial speaker, Meghan Murphy, to book a space at the library in January. The same thing happened to UBC over allowing another speaker, Jenn Smith, at a campus event in June. Both Murphy and Smith face criticism over their views about transgender rights policies and legislation.”
From CBC News 25.10.23
“A citation from the college alleges Hamm has “made discriminatory and derogatory statements regarding transgender people” while identifying herself as a nurse. Hamm frequently refers to [men who pretend to be women] as “men” in social media posts, videos and podcasts, implying they pose a danger to [women] and children, and has referred to the disciplinary proceedings as a “witch trial,” reports Bethany Lindsay for CBC News in a story in which she labels gender critical gay sexologist James Cantor as controversial. Again, another member of the LGBT community denigrated for his dissident views on the state religion.
From City TV, 22.5.23
“But when it comes to women’s prisons where offenders are convicted of serious crimes and serving terms of two years or more, it looks more like a campus than a correctional centre. For six months, my crew and I spent considerable time in the Grand Valley Institution for Women (GVI) in Kitchener, ON and Alberta’s Edmonton Institution for Women (EIW) to film the latest episode of VeraCity: Prison Moms,” writes Christine Howrun for City TV in a feature about Canadian women’s prisons, one where she completely ignores the ongoing longstanding issue of males in female prison related to Trudeau’s Gender Morality Laws.
From Elizabeth Fry Society, 2.2021
“Reproductive health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity, in all matters relating to the reproductive system and to its functions and processes. Reproductive health therefore implies that people are able to have a satisfying and safe sex life and that they have the capability to reproduce and the freedom to decide if, when and how often to do so.”
“When we asked what "security of the person" meant, usually participants said, Feeling safe. When asked what makes them feel safe, participants volunteered: Saying no, Standing up for myself, Boundaries, Not being invaded. This capacity for self-governance and body sovereignty may be jeopardized in the prison environment where submission to CSC authority is expected, and compliance is rewarded. As one woman stated, "I was a favourite among the guards because I do what I'm told". Another explained how advocacy is subdued, "If we tried to stand up, we'd be sent back down (to the secure unit), labeled as troublemakers."
“Reproductive Justice is trans inclusive …”
—writes Martha Paynter in an Elizabeth Fry report about the reproductive rights of incarcerated women, in which reproductive rights for women must accommodate men pretending to be women.
What is a woman? Do we know? Of course we all do. We pretend we don’t, like it’s edgy. In the west it’s a ridiculous privilege we have to pretend we don’t need women’s liberation anymore. How truly arrogant. Men always know who to silence and rape and beat and kill tho, don’t they? Yep. They do.
For anyone following the Afghanistan Taliban file and now expressing outrage at the latest developments re women in that country. Look, it’s like this: if you haven’t stood up publicly for Canadian women like Meghan Murphy and Amy Hamm and Heather Mason, if you haven’t stood up publicly for the many incarcerated women who can’t speak for themselves, if you haven’t stood up publicly for the many rape victims and homeless women who can’t find services exclusively for women, as in away from menacing predacious violent and creepy men—then you are a coward and a hypocrite and your opinion means fcuk all to me, sit down now you had your chance to show women you cared and be part of a solution, we see you didn’t in order to save your ass, so stop now it’s embarrassing for you. You can run along and save your ass.
Anyway. Some basic facts before I continue
Humans aren’t sequential hermaphrodites.
This means humans cannot change reproductive class aka sex.
That’s an immutable fact.
Progressive Canadians including the legacy media think men can compete in female sport and use female washrooms and change-rooms if they pretend they are women and they think women are bigots who object to this new social policy forced on women without our consent. Progressives think Canadian women who want spaces separate from men should lose their job, their profession, their livelihood, and be harassed and abused. Progressives think they can feel morally entitled to steal children from parents who oppose sex changes as a remedy for pubertal angst. Progressives plunge families into hellish despair by forcing their Trudeau Gender Morality Laws onto children in secret in schools.
These same progressives say they feel terrible for the girls and women of Afghanistan who live under the draconian Gender Morality Laws of Taliban rule. They think Sharia Gender Morality Laws are harmful and extreme. They think chaperone laws are medieval and repugnant. Yet they promote gender self ID laws, the equivalent of modern day chaperone laws, as progressive feminism. The lack of self awareness is stunning. The inability of the progressive Canadian ruling elite class to see itself in others is truly comedic and also sad and fascinating.
Laws are wrong which promote distorted morality based on male feelings, laws are wrong which have the effect of removing agency and freedoms from female people, irregardless of the moral code:
Taliban Gender Morality Laws :: 7th century Islamic Sharia laws made to look like pious modesty
Trudeau Gender Morality Laws :: 21st century fetishist sex change laws made to look like a weird hybrid of modern feminism meets gay rights
In both cases the moral code centres on and prioritizes men’s feelings and sexual desires for and about the female form. In both cases women’s bodies are currency for society to meet men’s sexual needs and enable their lack of self restraint.
In both cases men’s failure to exercise self restraint becomes womens’ responsibility and problem to solve and our hardship to overcome.
In both cases women face more denigration, dehumanization, and violent attempts to eliminate us as men unshackle themselves from sexual self restraint and coveting the female form.
In both cases women are expected to submit to a distorted morality based on male sexual desires.
In both cases women’s non compliance with the removal of our human rights results in a label of bad :: sinner against sharia law, or hater :: sinner against self ID law. In the latter case men decided they will become us to supervise us and in the former case they decided they will imprison us and call it religious modesty.
I see two regimes who pass Gender Morality Laws prioritising male sexuality and sexual desire by objectifying women. I see two regimes that keep the public and the people uneducated and ignorant so that they can promote their ideology. I see the same net impact on girls + women of both types of male sexuality-centred Gender Morality Laws. Female people are always cancelled by a policy that makes male sexuality the prime objective and meaning-making of women’s human existence. Both Taliban Gender Morality Laws and Trudeau Gender Morality Laws have this purpose and objective at their core foundation and thus they both harm women.
I am sharing this with my friends who understand why I am doing the activism I am doing, who agree with me but are choosing to remain silent. You have nailed the hypocrisy of gender-colonized "elite" Canadians and our MSM. Unless you have spoken up about the erasure of women's sex-based rights in Canada, you have no business using the grotesque plight of Afghan women to polish your luxury beliefs in public. Thank you for this essay and all the others, I am proud to support you.
