Why are homosexuals and other sexually confused Canadians trying to get the legal right for men to use female washrooms and women to use men’s washrooms?
So-called “transgendered” people are piggybacking on the homosexualist political agenda. In Canada, NDP MP Bill Siksay has introduce a Private Member’s Bill – C-389 – that would add transgendered language to the Canadian Human Rights Act and to the Criminal Code. The first provision would ban “discrimination” against people on the basis of their being transgendered and the latter provision would enable prosecutors to increase a person’s sentence if he was found guilty of a crime against someone if the motive for the crime was deemed to be hostility to the victim for being “transgendered.”
We have discussed this bill already in the context of a larger commentary exposing several affirmative action based bills that have been introduced in Parliament.
Since then, it has been learned that this bill has not only been debated once (at 2nd Reading) in Parliament, it has also just been rushed through the Parliamentary committee stage of the process, and is now scheduled for 3rd Reading debate in early December. It appears that the Conservative government hoped that the bill would fly under everyone’s radar rather than causing a great “moral” battle that would be used to marginalize Conservatives in the days or months before a next election.
If the Bill passed at 3rd reading in the House of Commons, it would then go to the Senate where it would also be debated several times. If it passed at each stage in the Senate, it would then receive Royal Assent by the Governor-General and become law.
The bill has been dubbed the “Bathroom Bill” because most battles for transgendered rights in the U.S. have revolved around the right of women to use men’s bathrooms and the right of men to use women’s bathrooms. Once again, capitulation is demanded to those who pretend to have the most delicate and fragile feelings. The reality is that, even if a person is on the way to transforming the perception of himself into the other sex, he still looks like the sex he is – otherwise this whole issue wouldn’t be an issue, would it? But because he still looks like himself, he will naturally be chased out of the other sex’s bathroom unless he has protection against discrimination.
Question: When your little girl goes to the public washroom at the shopping mall or at a restaurant, and she sees a man in there, how does she know if it’s an “innocent” transvestite, or the next “Colonel Russell Williams” – rapist and killer? How does your little girl know the difference – before it’s too late?
Are today’s social activists – or even your average John Doe neighbour – so morally cold and calloused – that they would capitulate to the hurt feelings (real or otherwise) of some sex activists over the real threat of harm posed to innocent, vulnerable children? Say it isn’t so…
