Conservatives are going all-in on transphobia today, as Pride Week in Ottawa is underway. #canqueer

Pierre Poilievre: A nurse with a spotless track record gets fined and suspended for pointing out there are two genders, and for praising world renowned author & women's rights advocate @jk_rowling This is authoritarian censorship. We must restore free speech and free thinking in a free country. Quoting National Post headline: B.C. nursing college went to great lengths to enforce ideology that rejects scientific facts, argues Michael Higgins. Fining nurse Amy Hamm $93,000 a grotesque attack on free speech Andrew Scheer: This is completely unjust! This nurse was fined and suspended for simply pointing out the fact that there are two genders. Everyone who cares about free speech should be outraged! G.K. Chesterton warned about this sort of thing in 1926: β€œWe shall soon be in a world in which a man may be howled down for saying that two and two make four, in which people will persecute the heresy of calling a triangle a three-sided figure, and hang a man for maddening a mob with the news that grass is green.” Quoting the same National Post headline as Poilievre

This post by Rachel Gilmore gives a great review of the facts in the decision of the Discipline Comm of the College of Nurses addressing the transphobic actions of nurse Amy Hamm & the disgusting anti-trans rhetoric of Pierre Poillievre & his right wing party (PP & CRAP). youtu.be/lbEqasOTAIM?...

People need to understand the regulatory college/authority's role. They are established in law to protect the public. A licensed professional making transphobic statements undermines the profession's reputation among trans people and others. Thus, it's certainly something they need to address.

She rightfully deserved the suspension & fine. She shouldn't be a nurse.

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that PP clearly has a fundamental misunderstanding of what the words "free country" actually mean.
