As LGBTQ2S+ people and allies await the return of Parliament to if see Bill C-6, a bill banning conversion therapy, will be passed into law, trans Canadians and activists worry that the delay could be fueling anti-trans rhetoric that trans folks are a threat to women’s rights.

People and groups were able to submit their support or opposition of Bill C-6, and Johnstone said that what she read in the opposing submissions was troubling.

Many of the TERF and anti-trans groups, including those who oppose Bill C-6, brand themselves as women’s groups, which could be dangerous but Ashley said this isn’t a new tactic.in the first chapter of State and Revolution that one of the most successful things the bourgeois had done with Marx's legacy was to co-opt it, so now all the bourgeois liberals are Marxists,” they said.

“The government could have fixed this a long time ago,” Smith said. “We know they've got the votes. There's no reason that we have waited this long. And now with the impending federal election, which could happen in the fall, the passage of this bill is uncertain because it still needs to get through the Senate, and we're not sure if they're going to sit in the fall.”

“For all these people who are being hateful online they have friends they go hang out with, they talk about their hateful views, they spread them to their other friends, and you kind of get this entire web,” they said. “Some are more extreme in how they speak on the internet, but that's only like part of the iceberg.”

There’s an idea that because more trans Canadians are living openly, that things are improving, it’s becoming safer, but Ashley said this isn’t the case.

This has to be the most biased piece of propogandic drivel I've ever read. You're not a journalist if you're using terms like 'Terf' and 'cis' and perpetuating the lie that women standing up for their SEX based protections is hate. You're just a parrot for a regressive ideology.

This article is a joke. Isn’t it a journalistic standard to seek balanced reporting? You couldn’t be bothered to get a quote from even ONE of those second-wave feminist orgs? This is a hit piece. The writer needs to grow up and do their job, or find another line of work.

I will just leave this here.

'Transgender prisoners are five times more likely to carry out sex attacks on inmates at women’s jails than other prisoners are, official figures show.'

'unfounded fear that they will prey on women and girls using these spaces' Really ? Any of these fine 'women's' faces ring a bell and do you know what they have all done?

Sex-based rights remain relevant

Pure cult propaganda from the stasi arm of the Canadian gov. Tranada is bad for women (unless they have a penis).

There is sooo much hate on here proving the point.

This is not news. This is an activist opinion piece.

This is a disgraceful article by an immature trans activist, who views any disagreement with what they demand as 'hate speech' . Using the generic defamatory label of TERF repeatedly, which is used to silence ANYONE who points out conflicts between trans rights & women's rights!

This is the “journalist” view of Canada and Canadians. Just dripping with hatred and intolerance.

It’s not hate.. we just really dislike this ideology.. it’s worse than communism

Prisoners of war are granted separate quarters for male and female prisoners. Canadian women are not given that right because of gender identity ideology and BillC16. You better believe it’s a pie.

That’s not journalism by any stretch of the imagination and your so called reporter has quite the imagination! Send this one back to writing for the school newspaper. Any article about something as serious as hate crimes deserves a serious and competent writer.

Are you publicizing that trans activists like Vancouver's Morgane Oger advocate to remove sex as a marked(and protected)characteristic in Canada? If woman as a sex class is no longer recognized,all laws in place protecting women(human females) from men(human males)are useless.

I thought we couldn't tell who is trans? How are people hate criming on an invisible population that blends seamlessly into the sex BINARY? It's not transphobia to reject enforced language, or for women to refuse to share intimates spaces with men.

Of course the activists and advocates say…..isn’t that their job…..duh.

I know many people and have never heard hate talk about Trans or even Asians!!

The push is starting to look more like the grooming of a generation than a fight for rights.

No. SaveWomensSports notourcrimes sexbasedrights ReleaseTheGBA

Criticism is not hatred

What group of people created Guilt fear shame Out of consensual sex

And Trans ain't real

at the Olympic they are with men or women

Who cares?

People also complain way more now.. trans ppl make a lot of ppl uncomfortable. Its not hate sometimes its just i dont wanna be around you.

Gotta love these people leaning on the Bible for their hate, when the words 'Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself' are inside the book as clear as day.

Question: what percentage of the population is trans? For the amount of press it should be significant. My attitude is it's their life and let them do as the please with equal rights. But I really don't want to hear about it continuously.

Anti-trans hate is code word for conservatism.

Fake news!

As long as as those expensive crosswalks get used!

It’s a Mental Health Issue .... these people need help !

Single white guy hate is on the rise. Christian hate is on the rise. Shitty fruit and vegetables at the market hate is on the rise. Stubbing my big toe when I get up in the morning hate is on the rise.

Sure....

“ Activists and advocates”. Are Complaining? You don’t say!

I stay as far away as possible from all LGBTQRCHJKJDXBJ2+ people or anyone else indulged in an abnormal lifestyle

I would suggest that mainstream media misinformation hate is on the rise in Canada.

You preach equality and rights but when it comes to un vac ci nated people you’re set to divide . Garbage journalism

Lol

You understand capitalism, right? cuz this is it

This article is dumb

CTV citing radical activist losers as first hand sources to validate this outrageous claim. This isn’t journalism.

Define specifically what you mean by “anti trans hate.” Stating that a trans woman IS a biological man IS NOT hate speech.

So then stop calling everyone transphobic all the time if they disagree with biological men competing in women's sports and rack up all the medals. It's unfair. Transradical ideology is going too far. It has nothing to do with rights at this point.

Trans are trying to have the right to the virginity of the innocent that's wrong.

Why does this not surprise me
