Human rights coalition can't do jack
They have no jurisdiction in their own country, let alone others
I havent actually read C-16... is it specifically pronouns... or is it.. if you call a muslim a christian as well
It's weird
But the problem wasn't pronouns in itself
It was gender identity and gender expression
Which are both vague terms
Say you get into a fender bender with a xer and don't acknoeledge xir's pronouns because they're very feminine.
You're now committing a felony and have to confront a human rights tribunal
Here's the problem though. You can't claim ignorance.
sounds like another "the court decides what you meant"
Yeah. Which is compelled speech.
seems to be a trend on that
And it's a slippery slope
He was concerned about the slippery slope
But people misunderstood what he meant saying he refused to acknowledge pronouns
i like how people went "it only changed like these 3 things. it only added it in like 3 places" and its just like "well yeah.... WHICH CHANGES THE REST OF THAT LAW ENTIRELY"
well way back in the video that went viral and put him on the map - someone asked him "would you use my pronoun" and he replied something along the lines of "that may not help you"
he has been on record saying that in one on one conversation, and not in the public sphere, he would use the pronoun if you asked
his problem was not having the option not to
While inaccurate, that doesn't mean he won't use pronouns. He very well might. The problem is he won't do it if forced by the hand of the law
its like being pro-choice but still thinking abortion is horrible.
assumpingtalking about JBP
he also says it depends on the context
if you're asking him to use it to further your agenda, he wont do that
He goes in to pretty good detail during the end of the Maajid Nawaz interview
of what he would and wouldn't do
He's done it before that, too.
yup
that's just the most recent one he spoke about it that I know of
Also Re: Shaun King, he goes after an innocent officer only to come out and say he's now a victim.
uh oh 😦 https://i.imgur.com/6nDJiCq.jpg
The Cathy Newman interview was actually way better than he says it is
I guess Ill just pay
extortion
