Your Pronoun Badge Tells Me You’re Okay with Sterilizing Autistic Kids
Dear teacher, principal, music director, barista, checkout clerk, and bookseller:
I think I know how this happened: you probably had a DEI workshop or a colleague or a woke friend or a passionate niece tell you this was a nice thing to do. I even had one of you tell me directly that “this is a small way to create an inclusive and nourishing community by affirming and supporting students of all genders.” So you put on your pronoun badge and added she/her at the end of your email signature. There, you thought, I’m a kind person.
And I sincerely believe that your intentions are good. Somewhere along the line you heard that trans kids commit suicide at high rates. You saw a TV show where a trans character or actor was tragically heroic, misunderstood, and noble. You saw a soft-focus ad campaign about a little trans girl who just wants to play sports with the girls. Aw. You’ve probably got a student, family member, or neighbor kid who declared they are trans and is screaming things like “trans rights are human rights” and clearly distressed. Seriously, if adding a pronoun statement to your email signature somehow helps those unhappy kids, what kind of cruel brute wouldn’t do it?
So I get it; you think your pronoun introduction, email signature, video conference name, and badge signal that you’re nice and inclusive. But actually, they show that you’re okay with sterilizing autistic kids.
What? Huh? How?
I’ll take this slowly, so pay attention. When you add a pronoun declaration, you are saying that:
1) Despite any scientific evidence, I believe in the idea of gender identities. There is no science that shows that people have an innate sense or feeling of “gender.” No brain scan. No blood test. Of course not: “Gender identity” is a feeling, an idea about whether and how much you feel like a female or a male. [Do you feel like a person with AB blood? Or a person who is 5’ 9”? No – you just are.] But yes, I think people feel female or male or neither. Or both.
2) Some people have gender feelings that are different from their physical bodies, and that those gender feelings trump their bodies’ physical sex. How they feel matters more than their body – and society should label/categorize them as that feeling desires. No longer do pronouns refer to someone’s actual sexed body (an observable and incontrovertible fact in 99.999% of cases and testable in the other ones), but to how they feel (an unobserved and unmeasurable idea). I’m okay with changing the meanings of pronouns – because feelings are more important than reality.
[Note: realistically, calling someone by the opposite gender pronoun (or they/them) doesn’t actually move them into the social category of the opposite sex or some third sex—not for any useful purposes like friendships, dating, athletics, or sexual partners. It just puts them into the category of “too sensitive to face reality / treat with kid gloves / they are mentally unstable and possibly suicidal / they might have a weird kink fetish / they’re probably super-obsessed about one aspect of their life and kinda boring and weird.” Believe me, outside of high school and the anthropology and gender studies departments, no one sees an opposite sex/they/them pronoun signature line and thinks “Oooh—now that person is magical and extra interesting. I can’t wait to get to know/hire/date that person.” We think “next.”]
3) If feelings matter more than facts, then transforming the sexed body to better match the gender feelings makes the best sense. Taking puberty-blockers and/or cross-sex hormones or undergoing surgery to stimulate the appearance of sex characteristics like breasts or facial hair or penises makes sense. Trying to question, alter, or evolve feelings or promote self-acceptance of the physical body isn’t worth trying or exploring.
4) Even though transitioning the body from one sex to the other isn’t actually possible, I’m okay with people doing that. No amount of cross-sex hormones will transform a penis into a vagina, nor vice versa. Surgery can remove breasts, labia, clitorises, vaginas, ovaries, fallopian tubes, uteruses, penises, scrotums, and testes. Plastic surgery can try to fashion pseudo penises from chunks of thigh or arm tissue, or pseudo vaginas from inverted penises or lengths of colon, but these are not functional organs. Even the most sophisticated surgeries and drugs cannot transform the DNA coded into every cell of your body. Sex can never change, but I’m okay with acting on fantasies and feelings.
5) Even though attempting to transition the body from one sex to the other isn’t healthy and increases suicide, I’m okay with people doing that. Puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones and surgeries are bad for bodies. Really bad. Brain polyps, anorgasmia, infertility, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s, cardiac damage, diabetes, infections, death. Scientists and doctors know these approaches are bad. Sometimes, a patient reports the results were worth it, but we know that transitioning actually increases rates of suicide. I’m okay with those negative consequences, because feelings are more important than reality.
6) Despite the fact that historically, most of children (typically boys) with gender dysphoria outgrew it and became gay or bisexual men, I think we should re-enforce these young boys’ false belief they are actually girls by using preferred pronouns. Remember, feelings are more important than reality. Reinforcing this idea that a boy is a girl can lead them to social and medical transition, but that’s not my problem. I’m okay with sterilizing gay boys.
7) Despite the fact that the present wave of teenagers with gender dysphoria has disproportionately high rates of social isolation, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and autism, I’m okay with permanently damaging and sterilizing them, too. Even though typical teenagers can’t be trusted to vote, smoke cigarettes, or drive a rental car, I believe these socially isolated, anxious, depressed, ADHD and autistic teenagers are somehow extra-ordinarily mature, and I’m okay with them making these sorts of life-altering decisions based on their feelings. Because feelings trump the body.
8) So yes, I’m totally okay with the sterilization of autistic children—really, any kind of people at all. Giving people time to mature and grow just isn’t wise, right? Since we all know feelings trump reality. Go ahead. No skin off my nose.
Well, thanks for clarifying where you stand. You’re so kind.
Score one for the kids on this one, they can tell that something abnormal is going on here. This is deviant behaviour has no fucking place in a school. Where is the Administration on this one?
Jfc.
The Admin are standing behind the teacher who thinks its okay to be around students presenting like that. All it takes, apparently, to do perverse shit in the Ontario Public school system is to declare they are transgender and no rules apply to you anymore. Do you think that for one second a real woman, in similar attire, would be allowed to teach class?
This tearing down of normalcy and the values of the majority of Canadians hold must stop. Pandering to mental illness and abdicating child safety in the name of what exactly? Inclusivity?
Newsflash – Some behaviours/lifestyle choices should *NOT* be included in public education milieu.
Apparently electrons on a screen have caused emotional damage of the Interim Green Party Leader.
You can’t make this up folks. A serious restorative process is being undertaken to make sure that the Green Party’s safe spaces and inclusive environment remain intact.
It is a clownshow over at Green Party HQ as they publically demonstrate they are unfit holding any office in Canada.
I was recently texted by my local NDP office with regards to getting a sign for the upcoming Alberta provincial election. This is how it went:
So no, you cannot count on my vote because you are participating in the erasure of females in our society. Allow me to provide a non-circular reality based definition of the word ‘woman’. A women is an adult human female.
Play stupid identity politics games, win stupid prizes.
It’s sad watching the CBC gleefully leap down the risible gender identity rabbit hole. Although, it would seem, they do so with a reckless certitude heedless of their duty to reporting important credible news for the nation.
“Social media is full of posts this month by Canadian airlines celebrating pride. There’s aWestJet TikTok video showing a plane flying over a rainbow,Sunwing andAir Transat tweets promoting LGBTQ vacation hot spots and, on Instagram,Flair Airlines is wishing everyone “Happy Pride.”
But non-binary Canadians with travel plans feel excluded from those Pride celebrations.
That’s because the airlines still don’t offer passengers a gender-neutral X option when booking flights online. Instead, they must choose male or female. The airlines are promising change, but some transgender advocates, including Gemma Hickey of St. John’s, N.L., say they’re getting fed up with the wait.
“It’s very hypocritical for these airlines to be promoting inclusivity and celebrating pride when they’re marginalizing a group of us within that community who, for a long time, have existed on the fringes,” said Hickey.”
Why should airlines have to provide options that cater to people with erroneous views of the physical reality we all share? We are all either male or female. This is been a fact since the inception of the species of human beings.
Is your identity that fucking fragile that a drop down box is marginalizing you? Apparently so.
As a non-binary person, Hickey uses the pronoun they and doesn’t identify exclusively as male or female.
Gemma Hickey of St. John’s, N.L., received a Canadian passport with an X gender designation in 2018. They’re still waiting for many airlines to adopt the gender category. (Submitted by Gemma Hickey)
“They’ve had time to make the changes,” said Hickey. “It feels like I’m not part of society. I’m not represented.”
Yes. People with delusions about reality shouldn’t be validated. Yet the Nothing-Burger whinging continues…
That’s how Iz Lloyd felt when flying with WestJet last month from Calgary to Halifax. Lloyd, who is non-binary, said theywere forced to identify as male or female to book their flight and check in online.
Lloyd, who has an X gender designation on their passport, said they learned at the airport that people who identify as non-binary must show up in person to check in.
“If men had to check in at the gate and they couldn’t check in online, people would lose their mind … but the trans community is expected to put up with it.”

The following week, Lloyd asked WestJet to pull its social media posts about pride. The posts, however, remain online.
“Companies are really bad with rainbow washing of, you know, ‘We’re so inclusive, we’re so good, look at us, give us money, like, we are the best,'” said Lloyd. “But if you aren’t actually putting in the work, you don’t get to say that.”
You make a special case of yourself and then wonder why you have to jump through extra hoops.
DUH.
The victimhood is extra poignant when it is self inflicted.
“Air Canada spokesperson, Peter Fitzpatrick said the airline plans to introduce the X option soon and aims to add gender-neutral options at check-in next month.
“Adding these options is a complex task and it has really only been made possible by the relatively recent installation of a whole new reservation system,” Fitzpatrick wrote in an email.
Hickey hopes that next year, all the airlines’ gender options will align with their pride marketing.
“It remains to be seen if these changes will be made. I look forward to the day that they do, and I’ll certainly keep holding their feet to the fire until the day comes.”
Lloyd said they would like to see the federal government step in to ensure airlines incorporate the X gender category.
“If it is a legal marker, it needs to be followed,” they said. “The government should be putting in some baseline rules.”
Transport Canada said it does not regulate airlines’ booking and check-in systems.”
Useless Queer Activism at its finest – making the airlines bend the knee to their customers magical gender demands. I’m so very glad the CBC business desk found this worthy of reporting.
