The recent ruling against Amy Hamm by the British Columbia College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM) is nothing short of a travesty, a glaring assault on free speech and common sense that should leave any reasonable person fuming. Hamm, a nurse and vocal advocate for women’s sex-based rights, was found guilty of “professional misconduct” in March 2025 for stating biological facts and expressing opinions critical of gender identity ideology. Specifically, the disciplinary panel zeroed in on a handful of her online statements—made while identifying as a nurse—deeming them “discriminatory and derogatory” toward transgender individuals. This isn’t just a punishment for Hamm; it’s a warning shot to every professional in Canada: step out of line with the prevailing ideology, and your career could be next. How dare a regulatory body, meant to ensure competence in healthcare, stretch its tentacles into policing personal beliefs expressed off-duty?

What’s particularly infuriating is the absurdity of the tribunal’s reasoning—or lack thereof. One so-called expert reportedly argued that being a woman is a “social identity category rather than a biological reality,” a statement so detached from science it’s laughable if it weren’t so dangerous. Hamm’s crime? Asserting that biological sex is real and matters, especially when it comes to women’s spaces and rights—a position grounded in observable fact, not hate. Yet, the panel chose to side with ideological fantasy over evidence, slapping Hamm with a guilty verdict for daring to speak her mind. This isn’t about protecting anyone; it’s about control, about silencing dissent under the guise of professionalism. The fact that her extensive Twitter posts, where she didn’t explicitly tie her nurse status, were spared only highlights the flimsy, cherry-picked nature of this witch hunt.

The implications of this ruling are chilling, and that’s putting it mildly. If a nurse can be professionally crucified for advocating for women’s rights and biological truth, what hope is there for free discourse in Canada? The BCCNM’s decision doesn’t just harm Hamm—it erodes the freedom of every regulated professional, from doctors to teachers, who now must tiptoe around controversial issues or risk their livelihoods. This is the kind of dystopian overreach that should spark outrage, not apathy. Hamm’s fight isn’t over—she’s hinted at appeals, potentially up to the Supreme Court—and thank goodness, because someone needs to stand up to this madness. We should all be rooting for her, not because we agree with every word she says, but because the principle at stake is too precious to let slip away without a fight.

 

Women are adult human females.  In this UN poster we see one of the primary obfuscations of queer theory in action.  It is the blurring of boundaries between adult human females and men who ‘identify’ as women.  These two categories are not the same and have different needs and requirements in society.

 

UN women in this poster is actively erasing females and their particular struggle in society and the world.  Hence, until UN Women can properly identify what a woman is and the particular problems women face as a sex class UN women should not be trusted and should be ignored until they decide to ground themselves again in the material reality we all share.

The medical establishment in Ireland is being led away from evidence based medicine by the gender ideologues.  Nothing good can come of it.

 

“This week another expert in his field offered a considered opinion and he has been studiously ignored. At various times in recent years, his expertise has attracted personal abuse. His credentials are unimpeachable but the problem is he is bearing inconvenient truths at a time when such truths are considered to be more trouble than they’re worth.

Professor Donal O’Shea is well known for his media contributions on obesity. He is the HSE’s national clinical lead on obesity but he also works as an endocrinologist in the National Gender Service within the executive. He has worked for over twenty-five years within the area of gender dysphoria. Last weekend he told the Sunday Independent that he and his colleague, psychiatrist Paul Moran, are alarmed that the HSE is trying to set up an “activist led” gender service which will be “dangerous for patients”. The HSE is currently advertising for a clinical lead in the National Gender Service but bizarrely prior experience is not a prerequisite.”

Better to stop it before it takes root my Irish friends.  The damage it has done to children here in Canada is an ongoing tragedy.

 

This from Rugby Canada

“Rugby Canada CEO Allen Vansen stated, “Our trans inclusion policy was written and developed by Sport, Law & Strategy Group, and is aligned with the guidance document ‘Creating Inclusive Environments for Trans Participants in Canadian Sport.’ Participation in community rugby in Canada is encouraged based on the gender in which a participant identifies and is not to be subjected to requirements for disclosure of personal information beyond those required of cisgender athletes.”

Physical reality does not magically melt away because we wish it so.  Men cannot ever be women and the very notion that ‘woman’ is an idea inside a man’s head is completely sexist and offensive.

 

This policy against female safety and the sex segregation of support is completely out of touch with reality and needs to be fixed ASAP.
