Where is the Canadian Media, outside of Barbara Kay at the National Post on this war on females in Canadian Society?
This excerpt from the Daily Mail Online edition.
“Prominent British female Olympians have joined a revolt against controversial new plans that could mean they have to race transgender women in future.
Established Team GB stars Beth Dobbin and Emily Diamond, as well as up and coming runner Ellie Baker, have now all said women should not be expected to compete against transgender athletes due to biological advantages.
World Athletics has begun to consult its member federations over a proposed rule change that would increase restrictions on trans women but not ban them completely, The Telegraph reported last week.
The governing body was said to be looking to halve the maximum amount of testosterone trans female athletes would be allowed, and double the amount of time they would need to maintain these levels before competing.
But Ms Dobbin, who reached the 200m semi-finals in Tokyo 2020, said that women ‘deserve to compete exclusively against competitors who don’t have any of the advantages that the female category exists to exclude'”
Look Canada press, just look! Reporting the issue taking both sides into consideration, I know you can do it too!
Other news media are now commenting on the insular nature of American media. Douglas Murray remarks about the obfuscation of language in the middle segment, rightly observing that the supposed left wing media in the US is busy erasing the term ‘woman’ from its vocabulary.
Hint – There is no liberation value to removing the category female people use to describe themselves.
The bitter partisan environment that dominates US politics is coming here. Three examples are have been captured and posted to Twitter – here the ‘freedom rallies’ exhibit hostility toward media crews on the ground who are there covering the event.
These two incidents may not be typical of the all the protests but I think are indicative of the misplaced skepticism and vilification of established news media sources that is becoming normalized in Canadian society.
I am not endorsing less media awareness or less critical thinking, on the contrary, triangulating news events and stories is vital for a more comprehensive grasp of the issues at hand. But this isn’t what is happening. It is outright hatred and physical violence against media outlets perceived not to be the home team.
These sorts of actions are not acceptable in Canadian society.
This from CBC Kamloops. A nice bit of female erasure to start your day.
It would seem our national news broadcaster has mysteriously misplaced the common knowledge that only women have the capacity to be pregnant. This is blatant female erasure from the public sphere, and it must be stopped.
