Ontario's Orangeville Otters outrage...

---

First things first: a man cannot be a women, ever. Or vice versa. No amount of hormones or operations can do that. This story from December last year but I only read about it today. "A 50-year-old professor has been allowed to identify himself into a swimming league for schoolgirls".

Hat-tip: Dr. Lidiya Angelova's Substack Genuine Prospect. 

Source: [SP¡KED] from last week. 

On immediate reading you'd be forgiven for asking are Swimming Canada and Swim Ontario child abusers? Are they paedophiles? There can be NO other reason they would both think it's okay for an adult man to compete against teenage girls in swimming:  "Swimming Canada and SO believe swimming is for everyone." [Swim Ontario Statement]. 

FFS! Great, we all think that too but clearly they don't think teenage girls have the right to compete only against other teenage girls.

No doubt you know-who would approve: 'Only one oasis': 'just a waterhole', or juste en trou d'eau in French, which of course is Justin Trudeau (I'll get my coat...).

Opinionsnämnden on offspring's orientation...

Opinionsnämnden is the advisory committee of a self-regulatory agency for marketing and advertising in Sweden. They are in the news indirectly regarding their Toys R Us gender discrimination ruling a few years back. Now the same thing will happen in the UK [NRO]: "toy retail giant Toys R Us today committed to being more inclusive it its marketing of toys to girls and boys" says the 'Let Toys Be Toys' press release. Toys R Us seem to agree with the consumer campaign group (that apparently 'represent thousands of shoppers' [what about the millions of shoppers who will presumably see this as ridiculous, pointless, patronising 'politically correct' shite?]) in their concern with the influence on children of sexist stereotypes that are still widely used in the toy industry...FFS. That said, I'd agree if it would reduce the amount of pink, plastic, pap that poses as girls's toys. I'll leave you with a few quotes from the Swedish reasoning: apparently it was a group of 11 to 13 year-old children that complained, however, we hear that their teacher (uh huh...) explained that it was the 'culmination of more than two years of long-term work by the students on gender roles'... ..."the Toys"R"Us catalogue 'discriminates based on gender and counteracts positive social behaviour, lifestyles, and attitudes'...  ..."guys want to be princesses sometimes", no more! Purleeze!
