A Poisoned Environment The Ontario Human Rights Commission states that a poisoned environment is a form of discrimination.
An example given is a man who claims to possess invisible female essence being forced to use the men’s room at work. This can lead to a “hostile and oppressive atmosphere.”
But the truth is, gender identity ideology is the poison, a very potent one, and just one drop is enough to destroy entire families, workplaces, schools, and institutions.
When parents who are true believers in gender souls transition their young child, it becomes the job of the child’s whole school to validate the lie. Every child in the school must be detached from reality, forced to live in a fictional world where humans can change sex like clownfish.
The poisonous ideology then inevitably claims more young victims.
When a teen tumbles down a gender rabbit hole online, and emerges believing that all her pubertal woes are a sign she is transgender, her family is supposed to accept that her whole childhood was a lie.
They are forbidden from using her name, and they’re supposed to celebrate the medical demolition of her healthy body. Failure to do so makes them abusive parents.
When an employer hires one of those curious beings who claim to be sexless, everyone in the workplace has to walk on eggshells, taking pains to mangle the English language so as not to offend the perpetually offended.
When a man decides to move on from just masturbating wearing women’s clothes to wearing them all the time, everyone in his workplace has to deny the evidence of their own eyes and pretend he has magically transformed into a woman.
Women must quell their unease and gladly welcome him into their spaces.
When an institution like the YWCA becomes poisoned by gender identity ideology, it finds itself prioritising sex offenders’ rights over the comfort and safety of rape survivors.
Fortunately, there is a very effective antidote to this particular poison, and it’s called the truth. When everyone stops going along with the lie, out of kindness and a misguided sense of compassion, the poison will lose its strength, and we can start to edge back towards sanity.
The Western world needs to give its collective head a shake and *not* celebrate terrorism. The conclusion from Benjamin’s essay published on The Free Press.
“How wrong I was. This past week, as over 1,300 Jews were slaughtered, the most murderous attack on Jews since the Holocaust, I saw the true face of Palestinians and their allies. All around the world, they celebrate. They gloat. They mock our tears. They do not protest against Hamas. They embrace pure evil.
And so, to the terrorists I now say:
When you killed my family, I forgave you. When you killed my people, I forgave you. But when you killed my idealism, I had no forgiveness left.
To non-Jewish friends who have reached out, thank you. It is simply the human thing to do. To friends who dare justify what has happened, you are not friends. You are nothing but Nazi supporters dressed up in leftist intellectual language. To the Palestinians: you have lost all moral authority to claim victimhood. I will never advocate for you again. To my family, friends in Israel, and Jews around the world hurting right now, I love you. Stay safe.
In Berlin, where I live today with my German-Ukrainian Jewish wife, Germans love to say “Never Again.” Right now, Never Again is happening again in real time, livestreamed for the whole world to see. I find myself looking up my military number in case the IDF reserves call for me. Unlike our enemy, I feel no joy at the prospect of going to war. But if our people’s existence is at stake, I will do what I must. I will be the world’s favorite villain: the Jew who has the audacity to defend his people.”
Violence is violence. Calling terrorism ‘decolonizing’ does not change the terror event into a positive. Post colonial theory should not be the only lens that is used when viewing events in our world. From Jonah Davids on the Hub:
“So why do Canadian universities find the murdering of innocent Israelis less objectionable than innocent Ukrainians? Or for that matter, why do they find terrorism less condemnable than parents protesting the way many schools are teaching gender and sexuality to young students? Perhaps the answer lies in the fact that for years, universities have been teaching and promoting postcolonial theory, which views relationships between people, organizations, and countries through a simplistic oppressor/oppressed framework. It’s easy to view these theories as ivory tower pantomime, but this week’s events have made clear that their adherents take them very seriously, and believe that violence is acceptable if it’s an “oppressed” or “colonized” group rising up against an “oppressor” or “colonizer.” Pro-Palestinian protesters across Canada have employed this rhetoric, calling Israel and Canada colonialist states and justifying Hamas’ activity as part of decolonization.
Such an explanation, however, may overintellectualize what is simply a gross failure to educate the Canadian public on the atrocities committed against Jews historically and to dissuade them from antisemitism. In a 2019 survey, half of Canadians said they did not know that six million Jews had died during the Holocaust, and one in five young Canadians had never heard of the Holocaust. Canada is an increasingly diverse nation lacking a sense of identity or common values, and pro-Hamas protests demonstrate the limits of our pluralist approach to statecraft. Perhaps university administrators trying to size up the conflict, knowing little of Jewish history but much postcolonial theory, opted for a “both sides” approach. This is a charitable reading, but it is the one I would prefer to be true, rather than them actually believing that hundreds of Jews in Israel are less worthy of a public statement than the death of a single Black man in America.”
