The murder of 13-year old Marissa Shen by 28-year old Syrian refugee Ibrahim Ali happened in the course of a sexual assault. The media stories that chose to take away from Marissa Shen's horrific death by talking about how we need to love all refugees disgust me.

Hey does everyone remember @Laurier profs Rambukkana and Pimlott, who brought me into a discliplinary meeting (which I recorded) where they accused me of transphobia & threatening trans ppl & breaking the law becuz I played a clip from public television?. They're suing me!

This is all the @HaltonDSB has to say for themselves? That there is a dress code for students, not for staff, and that we need to use respectful pronouns? A male teacher is wearing kink gear in front of students to sexually excite himself, and this is the pathetic response.

Moral of the story: A university must be repeatedly publicly shamed, internationally, in order to apologize (oh, but keep the task force & investigation). Even then, ambiguous about free speech. Also, make sure to secretly record all meetings or they won't take you seriously.

"The film presents evidence that most children with gender dysphoria eventually overcome the feelings without transitioning and questions the science behind the idea that a boy could somehow be born with a 'female brain' or vice versa.". Is that why CBC won't air it?
In light of our own further review of the doc, coupled with audience reaction, we have decided not to air Transgender Kids. We think there are other docs that better offer insight into the realities of the transgender community and we look forward to airing those in the future.

This kind of thinking is exactly the problem. You fit right in with the trio that held my kangaroo court. Universities are places where we are free to talk about current societal topics and debates. Why do ppl think they have the moral righteousness to decide a uni's agenda.

What do you even find objectionable about what I said in this particular clip you chose?. Seems like you're just trying to do a guilt by association thing, and your only problem is with who the host has associated with. It's also not "a white supremacist podcast.".
Lindsay Shepherd appeared on a white supremacist podcast to express concern that white people could face discrimination when they become a minority. The host (who is friends with David Duke and Richard Spencer) then endorsed white genocide theory.

Agh. A social justice-oriented prof (who discussed the Laurier case on @theagenda) hopes that as a result of my case, profs are better trained to "limit" what TAs are able to do and give TAs better "training" (i.e. training to push authoritarian leftist agenda)
@Patrick_M_Huang @matthewasears @EmmMacfarlane @tjsmerritt One (overly?) optimistic hope is that due to the LS case we get better at providing t.a.s with better training and structure (and better train profs to supervise/limit/support t.a. work).
