The part that is laughable is Trudeau&#8217;s managing to take this very serious subject into the realm of the absurd by trying to appeal to the LGBT movement through including them in his message, and in a very unusual way. Apart from the women and girls, he decided to mention &#8220;2SLGBTQQIA+ people&#8221; as well&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">People across the country are lighting candles to honour Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people who are missing or have been murdered. We must continue to work together, raise awareness, and advocate to end this ongoing national tragedy. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SistersInSpirit?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SistersInSpirit<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/cUUmff1ZOd\">pic.twitter.com\/cUUmff1ZOd<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Justin Trudeau (@JustinTrudeau) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JustinTrudeau\/status\/1445200620340842496?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 5, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Who are &#8220;2SLGBTQQIA+ people,&#8221; you ask? Well, you aren&#8217;t alone in your puzzlement. It&#8217;s an even more unusual version of an already unusual (not so mention silly and patronizing) acronym. As one celebrity <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ZubyMusic\/status\/1445658511292059648\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">commented on Twitter<\/a>, it seemed as if &#8220;Headbutting the keyboard is now a sexuality.&#8221; Media were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/world\/lgbt-what-trudeau-mocked-for-latest-iteration-of-woke-term-for-sexual-identities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">quick to pick up<\/a> on the round of mockery Trudeau faced for his sycophancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Really, all Trudeau has done to the more &#8220;traditional&#8221; (if we can use that word for such a thing) acronym of &#8220;LGBTQQIA+&#8221; is slap &#8220;2S&#8221; on the front of it. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/lgbtqhealth.ca\/community\/two-spirit.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lgbtqhealth.ca<\/a>, this refers to &#8220;two-spirit&#8221; individuals, which are defined as &#8220;person(s) who identify as having both a masculine and a feminine spirit.&#8221; The term originated in 1990, supposedly to describe a unique gender\/sexuality perspective that exists in certain Indigenous or Native American populations. Trudeau was attempting his own sort of two-spirited message, trying to appeal simultaneously both to Indigenous people and to the &#8220;alphabet soup&#8221; crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, the term &#8220;two-spirit&#8221; as appropriated by sexual revolutionaries is a subject of some debate. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgdblog.org\/2016\/07\/appropriating-two-spirit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Some<\/a> see it as a form of offensive &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/ourliveswisconsin.com\/article\/dear-queer-white-people-cultural-appropriation\/\">cultural appro<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/ourliveswisconsin.com\/article\/dear-queer-white-people-cultural-appropriation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">priation<\/a>;&#8221; whereas others <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2006\/10\/08\/fashion\/08SPIRIT.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">have pointed out<\/a> that there is a anthropological error in viewing tribal ceremonial and linguistic concepts through the lens of post-&#8217;60s sexual liberalism.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For our part, we can add one more criticism to the mix. Especially as so much of the vanguard of the LGBT movement nowadays (particularly the &#8220;T&#8221;) represents an erasure of women and girls, there is something uniquely perverse in calling attention to violence against women and girls while simultaneously pandering to a movement that in so many ways <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/the-transgender-war-on-women-11553640683\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">undermines women&#8217;s and girls&#8217; safety<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In any event, Trudeau continues to be the object of scorn and mockery online, and it seems to be his just deserts. He&#8217;s eating his words; pity for him that it was such a mouthful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As one celebrity commented on Twitter, it seemed as if &#8220;Headbutting the keyboard is now a sexuality.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":98991,"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":"As one celebrity commented on Twitter, it seemed as if \"Headbutting the keyboard is now a sexuality.\"","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":"511"},"jnews_social_meta":[],"jnews_override_counter":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[804,511,805],"tags":[12812,12810,11369,1450,1453,12813,12811],"class_list":["post-98982","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-breaking-news","category-culture","category-foreground","tag-2s","tag-canada-3","tag-justin-trudeau-2","tag-lgbt-5","tag-lgbt-6","tag-trudeau","tag-two-spirit"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v25.9) -
