Subjective sex identity in Canada"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>Male, female, and&#8230;? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Canada has once again proved to be at the forefront of the battle led by the gender ideology. This is evidenced by what happened only recently: a Human Rights Tribunal has ruled that a restaurant had unfairly dismissed an employee who had asked the business to use \u201cnon-binary\u201d pronouns, and decided that the latter is entitled to a compensation of $30,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-discrimination\"><strong>Discrimination<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The incident, as reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.christianpost.com\/news\/canadian-tribunal-using-wrong-pronouns-violates-human-rights.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Christian Post<\/a>, took place in British Columbia. Despite the employee&#8217;s requests to be addressed by \u201cnon-binary\u201d pronouns &#8216;they\/them&#8217;, the restaurant owner was in the habit of addressing the employee using female pronouns, given that the person in question is a biological female. The confrontation between the two became such that the restaurant fired the employee. For the judges of the Tribunal it was a gesture that \u201camounted to discrimination.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-right-of-trans-employees\"><strong>The right of trans employees<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAll employees have the right to a workplace free of discrimination\u201d, reads the opinion of the Tribunal. \u201cTrans employees are entitled to recognition of, and respect for, their gender identity and expression. This begins with using their names and pronouns correctly.\u201d And again, \u201cLike a name, pronouns are a fundamental part of a person\u2019s identity. They are a primary way that people identify each other. Using correct pronouns communicates that we see and respect a person for who they are.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lgbt-catechism\"><strong>LGBT+ catechism<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the restaurant, this didn&#8217;t end with a fine. In fact, the judge ordered it to \u201cinclude a statement in its employee policies that affirms every employee&#8217;s right to be addressed with their correct pronouns\u201d, i.e. their desired pronouns. It also ordered the restaurant to \u201cimplement mandatory training for all staff and managers about human rights in the workplace.\u201d In short, the restaurant must organize a beautiful catechism course in rainbow colors that \u201cshould be no less than two hours\u201d. The judge also took care to recommend that the restaurant should contact a \u201ctraining provider\u201d recommended by the dismissed employee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-canada-at-the-cutting-edge\"><strong>Canada at the cutting edge<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This comes as no surprise. Canada is inflexible on this front. In 2016, it passed a law\u2013<a href=\"https:\/\/www.parl.ca\/DocumentViewer\/en\/42-1\/bill\/c-16\/first-reading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">known as C-16<\/a>\u2013that added the concept of \u201cgender identity\u201d to race, religion, age, sex and sexual orientation in the protection clause of another law, one that protects human rights. The law in question provides for the imprisonment of those who incite hatred against a person precisely because of their \u201cgender identity or expression\u201d and, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tempi.it\/basta-sbagliare-un-pronome-di-genere-per-finire-in-carcere-in-canada-fake-news-mica-tanto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according to some readings that circulated in the media<\/a>, it can even serve as grounds for condemning to prison those who \u201cmisuse\u201d a person&#8217;s pronoun. This measure pairs with another one <a href=\"https:\/\/ifamnews.com\/it\/un-oceano-in-mezzo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">passed last spring<\/a>\u2013Bill <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gc.ca\/eng\/csj-sjc\/pl\/charter-charte\/c10.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">C-10<\/a>\u2013that threatens to discriminate on the basis of personal views on gender ideology. Then again, which dictionary could you use to look up \u201cnon-binary\u201d pronouns anyway?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>Image source: <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Gender_recognition_pins_cropped.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Gender recognition pins cropped<\/a>, photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/User:AWang_(WMF)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">AWang (WMF)<\/a> from Wikimedia Commons, self-published work, licensed by <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/3.0\/igo\/deed.en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">CC BY-SA 3.0<\/a> <\/sup><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A restaurant owner refuses to use a \u201cnon-binary\u201d pronoun when addressing an employee and is convicted by court.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":99862,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"mc4wp_mailchimp_campaign":[],"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":{"subtitle":"A restaurant owner refuses to use a \u201cnon-binary\u201d pronoun when addressing an employee and is convicted by court.","format":"standard","video":"","gallery":"","source_name":"","source_url":"","via_name":"","via_url":"","override":[{"template":"1","single_blog_custom":"","parallax":"1","fullscreen":"1","layout":"right-sidebar","sidebar":"default-sidebar","second_sidebar":"default-sidebar","sticky_sidebar":"1","share_position":"top","share_float_style":"share-monocrhome","show_share_counter":"1","show_view_counter":"1","show_featured":"1","show_post_meta":"1","show_post_author":"1","show_post_author_image":"1","show_post_date":"1","post_date_format":"default","post_date_format_custom":"Y\/m\/d","show_post_category":"1","post_reading_time_wpm":"300","zoom_button_out_step":"2","zoom_button_in_step":"3","show_post_tag":"1","show_prev_next_post":"1","show_popup_post":"1","number_popup_post":"1"}],"image_override":[{"single_post_thumbnail_size":"crop-500","single_post_gallery_size":"crop-500"}],"trending_post_position":"meta","trending_post_label":"Trending","sponsored_post_label":"Sponsored by","sponsored_post_name":"","sponsored_post_url":"","sponsored_post_logo":"","sponsored_post_desc":""},"jnews_primary_category":{"id":"510"},"jnews_social_meta":[],"jnews_override_counter":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[510,805],"tags":[9936,12973,8129,4861,1453,12975,12974],"class_list":["post-100843","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-family","category-foreground","tag-breaking-news-2","tag-canada-4","tag-foreground","tag-gender-ideology","tag-lgbt-6","tag-non-binary","tag-preferred-pronouns"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Are you a &#039;she&#039; or a &#039;he&#039;?
