I’ve spoken to my local Conservative MP candidate about this. My advice: every time you encounter these “gender” issues, state clearly that you define a woman as “an adult human female.”

State clearly that you’ve seen the review of the evidence and it’s great news: there’s a cure for gender confusion in kids… it’s natural, unimpeded puberty.

I begged Rustad to do this last fall. He did not. And he lost by the narrowest margin imaginable.

Women’s votes will decide this election. Speak clearly to us about our valid policy concerns and you can win decisively.

I agree, he needs to take a stand regardless of whether Carney has a trans IDing” daughter. This isn’t about Carney’s daughter, Sasha, or the alleged fact she went to the disgraced Tavistock clinic - it’s about taking a stand to say whether he will restore women’s sex based rights, gay and lesbian rights, freedom of speech and freedom of belief and to say he will follow the science.

It appears we have an answer. No. No to restoring sex based rights, no to freedom of belief and no to following science. Let that sit for a while 🇨🇦.

The "science"? BIOLOGY. "Adult human female"? You mean like the long line of 'em we all popped out of? Many of them were not yet "adults" & Roe v. Wade guarantees that will continue to be the case.

Correct, I believe women are adult human females. (Half the world, I shouldn’t need to mention). I don’t think humans can change sex or that male humans who believe they’re women are women. I believe in science and biology. And I also ❤️ JK Rowling.

More than half. Speaking of Rowling, & your "I believe women" & "I don't think humans...who believe" remind me that it's been 5 years since she became online enemy #1 for requesting not to be identified as "person who menstruates". Her insistence that sex is real & trans women are not women keep getting trivialized to her "bejiefs" - when exactly did human reproductive biology (how we ALL got here, incl. trans) become a matter of faith & opinion? Prayer makes for lousy birth control & HUMAN REPRODUCTIVE BIOLOGY IS A FACT NOT OPEN FOR DEBATE. Not even Mary's virgin birth.

Since this is a global trend, why not cut to the chase & strip women of citizenship?

Sad that conservative politicians both in Canada and here in Australia haven't learned the lesson from Trump's election win. People are looking for strong leaders willing to take a stand against woke ideology in all its forms. Like Pollievre, our opposition leader has more than likely blown his chance at winning the upcoming election because of his cowardice, saying he doesn't want to get involved in the 'culture wars'. Pathetic!

👍🙂 ICYMI, my response to an open letter to Mark Carney on the ACT For Canada Substack:

"However, I too am less than enthused about the Liberal Party and their platform which, one might argue, has contributed to the many difficulties we now face. CBC's The National recently called for comments thereon, and this is largely what I sent:

QUOTE:

No doubt that "The Tariffs!!" is the burning question of the day, and the one colouring many of the political debates in the forthcoming election. However, Trump's own election suggests that economics was not the only issue that tipped the balance in his favour -- clearly, the rather unedifying spectacle of men in women's sports contributed substantially to Kamala Harris' loss. Hence, Trump's several Executive Orders on Day One, one of which explicitly called for:

"Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government":

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/defending-women-from-gender-ideology-extremism-and-restoring-biological-truth-to-the-federal-government/

And a subsequent one for:

"Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports"

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/02/keeping-men-out-of-womens-sports/

And one might reasonably argue that that issue could, or should, contribute to Carney's and the Liberal's loss in the coming election. For example, our erstwhile fearless leader, Justin Trudeau, once argued that "trans women are women" which is part and parcel of putting transwomen -- AKA, "fully intact" men -- into women's sports, prisons, change rooms, and toilets.

Statement by the Prime Minister on International Women’s Day (March 8, 2023)

https://www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/statements/2023/03/08/statement-prime-minister-international-womens-day

Archive link (original deleted): https://archive.ph/VXm7g

It has only been the Conservative Party and Pierre Poilievre who have forthrightly stood for the "biological truth" that there's a fundamental bedrock difference between men and women that, as Trump's EO emphasizes, boils down into the far reaching consequences of the "reproductive cells" that members of each group are capable of producing:

Conservatives pass anti-gender ideology resolutions

https://tnc.news/2023/09/09/cpc-gender-ideology/

There is simply no way in God's green earth that any transwoman is ever going to produce the "large reproductive cells" that are the essential and defining property of "woman". Barking mad for Trudeau to deny that difference, and clueless of the Liberal Party in general to follow him over that cliff and down that rabbit-hole.

Until such time as Carney & the Liberal Party repudiate that particular "platform plank" I will be unwilling to give them my vote. And while Carney at least seems to have some economic expertise, one might suggest he has "stolen" Poilievre's policy on the carbon tax. And I see that Carney is apparently still reluctant to repeal Bill C-69, the anti-pipeline bill passed (?) last April by the Liberal Government:

Carney won't repeal anti-pipeline legislation

https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/lilley-unleashed-carney-wont-repeal-anti-pipeline-legislation

Given that Carney has talked a great game about building Canadian pipelines from coast to coast, one might reasonably wonder how that squares with an anti-pipeline policy.

Sincerely,

[Steersman] British Columbia

Absolute perfection, yet again, Amy. Keep using that big, beautiful, voice of yours for females, common sense, and sanity. You’re helping others wake up, and stand their ground. You are a role model for showing such incredible strength, and bravery, in the face of insanity. My grandfather had a saying about speaking the truth, and standing your ground, « right is might ». And you are among the mightiest. ♥️

VERY RARELY DO I HAVE TO BE PERFECTLY HONEST WITH YOU, I AM VERY GRATEFUL FOR YOUR TIME THIS MORNING. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE CAN BE THE LEADER OF ALL FAMILIES AND "PIERRE POILIEVRE, WILL BE MAKING A STATEMENT IN CANADA JUST TO BE SURE, MOLLIE KAYE, THANK YOU. HE WILL MENTION THAT HE WAS GOING TO, BUT CHILDREN ARE BEING MUTILATED BY MENTALLY UNSTABLE NARCISSISTIC PSYCHOPATHS AND WE DON'T HAVE ANY FURTHER THOUGHTS THERE ARE ONLY TWO SEXES. WE WILL BE USING THE CRIMINAL CODE OF CANADA AS A WARNING. If AM adult talks to a child, a minor, and in any way attempts to push the child to think that biological sexe is not God's will, the adult will face "ENTRAPMENT OF A MINOR WITH INTENT TO PSYCHOLOGICALLY HARM. UP 5 YEARS PER INFRACTION, AND OBVIOUSLY , IN TNE THE "PEDOPHILES REGISTRY" Canadian Conservative Political Operatives God Bless

Sorry but with our left wing media that would be a mistake, but after he wins a majority he can do it. We know he stands for women.
