Canada's transformation in the past nine years from a successful multicultural democracy with robust welfare services to a dysfunctional horror show has been... quite something

11 Montreal elementary school teachers suspended after toxic behaviour allegations

I have it on good authority that all 11 are Muslim, a fact omitted in this news story. I'd say "curiously omitted" but there's nothing curious about this, it's all too tediously familiar.

Trans woman sues Hooters after they 'refused to hire her'

Quote:

A transgender woman is suing a Hooters franchise for discrimination after they allegedly refused to hire her based on 'her image'.

Brandy Livingston has been a regular at the restaurant, famed for its scantily clad waitresses, on Wolf Road in Colonie, a suburb of Albany in New York.

With career aspirations of working for the chain, Livingston had applied three times for listings which were all unsuccessful, according to her.

Speaking with News10, Livingston said she was not respected as a woman at the establishment, alleging that workers actively discriminated against her.

She told the outlet: 'They would use male pronouns. They would refer to me as he.'

On her being denied employment, she added: 'I said, do you want to see my experience or anything? Because I had previous jobs I had written down.

'And he said, “Oh, we don’t care about experience. We hire on the basis of personality. And there’s an image that needs to be met".'

Livingston said that she had also heard employees and a manager at the restaurant harass her about using their restroom.

She claimed: 'I overheard one of the servers after I left the restroom talking to one of the managers and said that, "Why are you allowing him in the women’s restroom?"

'And the manager said, "Oh, I don’t like it any more than you do".'

I'm glad you're asking Mindy, this attests to the dispassionate spirit in which my aggregation of news stories on this important topic is conducted!

No, I'm not trans. Just a guy.

"The whole trans issue" is fascinating to me in several ways and I think there are many disparate phenomena within that issue. The aspect that I'm most concerned with is the political movement for so-called "trans rights". To me it's dangerous, totalitarian and pathological: people who want to force others to accept their self-image. Fail to show deference to the self-image of some Andre the Giant lookalike as a teenage anime thot and bam, you're fired. That sort of thing.

It's far from being the only dangerous pathology afflicting my society (I'm a Canadian, though I'm living abroad now) and turning it into a ****hоlе. But it's arguably the funniest.

I mean...

It's super easy to scapegoat the unknown "others".

American progressivism today depends on the assumption that its opponents are hicks. Frankly it's a huge reason the woke progressive identity has such purchase: an easy way to signal you're not one of the dumb losers from flyover country or whatever.

Among other reasons, as bookmarks. We all get bombarded with so many headlines on our social media feeds that it's impossible to register the stories in your mind for more than 20 seconds. Pasting the link makes me take notice.

I enjoy the British stuff especially because there it's very clear that they are well past peak trans and it's only going to fade. In Canada it's very different. We are going to sterilize thousands upon thousands of confused kids before people come to their senses.
