Blue Ridge Style & Beyond
A joint briefing submitted to the Canadian Government’s “Committee on Children’s Health” on behalf of:
Gender Dysphoria Alliance, LGB Alliance Canada, Vancouver Lesbian Collective, Genspect and Canadian Gender Report
It will take 10 minutes of your time to read. Good summary of our current dilemma and recent developments around the world. Hint: the world is pulling back, US and Canada are pushing forward.

We need more of this on public display. Less shouting, less cancelling, less intimidation. More listening to & talking with one another, even when we disagree. And continue to disagree.
As we will.
Extremists want to demonize opponents, and de-platform those who think differently instead of allowing all sides to have their say. After which, the citizens will then “vote” with their time, money, and ballot. In political terms, one side will win, and the other lose.
But there will always be another opportunity to persuade and vote your conscience.
That’s how the system works. Do today’s activists want to persuade or overpower?
Constantly demonizing and accusing your opponents (who you probably don’t know) of hate does not a civil society make.
Justice Sotomayor knows the man. And calls him a friend. Though they both have strong ideological commitments, they respect one another enough to listen, talk, and argue about important things. And still care about one another.
That’s their job as jurists and as humans.
That’s civility.

From the same “evidence” session of my last post. Scottish Politicians simply won’t define key categories or admit to their “circular” reasoning.
The consequences of extending a Gender Recognition Certificate to anyone who simply says they are Trans (self-ID) without any clinical diagnosis of Gender-Dysphoria or any period of time in which they have taken cross-sex hormones or sought gender reassignment surgery is to allow biological males with penises to access female spaces, whether in sport or in spa showers.
TWITTER CLIP BLOCKED.
Please see this post about a real world consequence: Female Inmate Speaks Out About Male Transfers.
Gender Ideology says only our internal feelings matter. Biology doesn’t. The BODY is an ‘immaterial’ legal consideration.
Is this the world we want to live in?
