OH MY GOD! They've actually done it!
Via aggressive lobbying of Vancouver politicians, the transgender movement has now actually gotten Vancouver Rape Relief and Women's Shelter, Canada's oldest rape crisis center, de-funded because they only service women and children. Wow. If you didn't think this movement was anti-feminist, anti-woman, and anti-reality before, that they are willing to, for all intents and purposes, ACTIVELY DEMAND THE RAPE AND ABUSE of women and children for the sake of political correctness ought to prove it to you beyond any dispute. This the single most misogynistic development I have seen in this entire battle to date. This is seriously horrifying!
Don't get me wrong: I get that trans-identified people experience physical and sexual abuse as well and need such services. But this development begs the question of why they are not investing in the creation of such centers and shelters for their own community (a positive solution that
increases the volume of services to battered individuals) instead of trying to shut down those of women (a negative solution that
reduces the volume of services to battered individuals)? Many women and children who survive physical and sexual abuse from men may not feel comfortable spending the night with a grown man they don't know, even (or, to be frank, perhaps even especially) if he claims to be a woman. That is just a fact. Is that to be just discounted?
Make no mistake though, Vancouver Rape Relief and Women's Shelter, which is also the last of its kind in Canada (and yes, they have affirmed that they will not change their policy in response to their grant money being taken away),
will survive whether the local government or the transgender movement likes it or not, as was demonstrated by the global outpouring of donations that resulted from this announcement. That's because, unlike their local government, real people see the need here.
