It is 100%

It’s wild liberal Canadians think they can import many people from deeply conservative and patriarchal societies, and somehow just arriving in Canada makes these newcomers into progressives

I’ve heard some Caribbean , African, Islamic guys talk about lgbt. It would make “far right Maple Maga” look like leftists

Yip, that is so funny!

The illusions of those liberal/progressive wokers never seem to disappoint....

Frankly anti-trans activism has turned me off voting conservative. Also, the statistics referenced in the article do not show the large decline the headline insinuates, nor is there any causal link between established with “trans activism.”

Using minorities to bash other minorities... 🙄

Title does not represent the facts... again!
Excerpt from your text to summarize it: "Women have been more progressive on LGBT issues, but their support for free gender expression decreased from 85 per cent to 77 per cent, while support among men decreased from 78 per cent to 70 per cent. Similarly, female support for accepting transgender family members decreased slightly from 80 per cent to 77 per cent, while male support decreased somewhat more dramatically, from 72 per cent to 65 per cent."

I don’t think it’s the gender expression that’s the issue. It’s having trans women in women’s spaces.

What bathroom should a trans man use?

u/Abject_Story_4172 5h ago

The women’s I guess.

I don’t want to share a changeroom or bathroom with with a trans woman. Only a very small, very vocal minority is okay with it.

I get the challenge for both. But women’s safety has to be paramount. We will have to figure out some other option for them.

So you want someone who was born a woman to use a men's washroom because you don't want someone born a man using a woman's washroom? I'm not sure I understand your logic.

No. They can use the women’s washroom.

So let's make unisex bathrooms... there's always a solution to ensure respect for everyone

Sure? But for small coffee shops and other businesses who’s going to pay for the renovations.
