I’m thinking we might need 2 Walls.

Holy shit! Is this real?

What timeline are we now?

Yikes

THIS ISN’T FUCKING TRUE.

Bill C-16 added gender identity to Canada’s Bill of Human Rights. It means 1) transgender Canadians can now not be denied housing or employment because they are trans, and 2) if a transgender Canadian is attacked or killed because they are trans, the attacker can be charged with a hate crime.

The bill makes no mention of pronoun use at all and the idea that it “criminilizes using the wrong pronouns” was popularized by Jordan Peterson, a transphobic professor at U of T.

Could I have a source to verify this? I don’t know anything about Canadian law… 

@allthecanadianpolitics has several, my ref tag might also have some. I’m always on mobile so it’s hard to post links.

You can also try googling bill c-16 for the text of the bill, and googling the Canadian Human Rights code / Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Can confirm, THIS IS NOT TRUE. Stop spreading lies, people, please.

Some sources:

Bill C-16 – No, its Not about Criminalizing Pronoun Misuse

Are Jordan Peterson’s Claims About Bill C-16 Correct? (No)

No, the Trans Rights Bill Doesn’t Criminalize Free Speech
