Did the SK Roughriders hire the REAL geniuses who thought the Experience Regina rebrand was smart? They had a meltdown when some meat-heads (pun intended) got upset by A&W sponsoring the team while promoting veggie burgers.The organization doesn't care about player or fan safety, covering up disease outbreaks, and playing

Dead Wild Roses: Why Sex Matters
A good portion of what you need to defend the reality we all share.

2 Catholic school administrators did damage to their city’s reputation by discouraging teachers and then parents from allowing their kids to attend a welcoming and inclusive space at a corporate sponsored event in their city. Homophobes and transphobes have been siding with the traditionally homophobic and hate-mongering church school system,

People generally like to keep things simple. Black and white, right and wrong, men and women. But of course things generally aren’t all that simple. More often than not there are annoying shades of grey. Gender would seem simple. It’s all determined by our sex chromosomes. Women have two X
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: Limits in Society
Having established norms and boundaries in society is a good thing. Is the balance between personal freedom and what is good for society perfect? Of course not. But the current system which is always under small scale revision, is a reasonable way forward. The basis of this incremental move toward

Let’s talk about sex – accurately I have a confession to make – talking about sex on social media makes me feel physically sick. I see a comment that I know I have to respond to, and my stomach sinks. I start to feel queasy. My heart starts beating. I ask

There’s a call to arms on a social media from a few people who think the memoir in graphic novel form, Gender Queer by Maia Kobabe (e/em/eir pronouns), should be removed from shelves in school libraries for being pornographic. For the uninitiated, “graphic novel” means it’s a cartoon, not that it’s graphic

If you’re old enough, and into American odd news, you’ll remember Jerry Falwell saying he thought the purple Teletubbie was gay. His son carried on in the family tradition of spreading religious themed bigotry and hatred of queer people. "Christian" Trumpers who pretend they're so perfect, and pious, and cast

The Dangerous Denial of Sex Transgender ideology harms women, gays—and especially feminine boys and masculine girls. By Colin M. Wright and Emma N. Hilton Feb. 13, 2020 6:54 pm ET “Transgender ideology can take on a comical character, as in a recent American Civil Liberties Union commentary objecting to

“The conceptual distinction between male and female based on reproductive organization provides the only coherent way to classify the two sexes. Apart from that, all we have are stereotypes. This shouldn’t be controversial. Sex is understood this way across sexually reproducing species. No one finds it particularly difficult—let alone

Posted on July 12, 2019 by thetranswidow Sex and the Mathematics of a Binary So much debate around whether sex is a binary or a spectrum. The thing is, a binary is a mathematical thing. And there isn’t any need to debate mathematical things. They are easy to prove. I’m

I must have travelled to another universe because when I awoke, the world had gone mad. Radio stations were pulling a popular, rather over-played, 74-year-old, playful holiday song because some folks thought it was about rape. Sexual assault. Or at least non-consensual sex. The media was full of Chicken Littles screaming

When, a couple months back, I read Katie Way’s depiction of a date between “Grace” and Aziz Ansari, at first I felt badly for him to be outed as such a crappy date. How embarrassing. Then in the New York Times, Bari Weiss responded that Ansari was being asked to be a mindreader. My

So Ted Cruz, how will you remember 9/11? Ted Cruz: pic.twitter.com/TW0psPuBQh — Antony Copland (@SprowstonStud) September 12, 2017 8 months ago, this Twitter user claimed Ted made the same mistake while watching Twitter-hosted porn: Well that was weird. In my Activity TL the verified account of @tedcruz just liked a

If gaslighting is “a form of manipulation that seeks to sow seeds of doubt in a targeted individual or members of a group, hoping to make targets question their own memory, perception, and sanity,” then religious fundamentalism (of several sorts, although my experience is specifically with Christian fundamentalism, and other

One of the problems while debating misguided 3rd wavers, or gender/qu**r activists is that lack of definitional rigour when it comes to the terms ‘sex’ and ‘gender’. What is chilling is that these activists often refuse to define their terms, yet as demonstrated here in Canada want these same

It turns out that nice guys do get the girl (but not these nice guys), and nice girls too! Altruism has been linked to more sexual partners and better relationships. There is a growing body of research that connects people who are emphatic are good partners to have in life.

How weird is it that such basic concepts can cause so much furor? It is almost like a certain category of men have decided they strongly dislike a particular objective fact, and expect the rest of the world to fall in line with their new orthodoxy (because they say so).
