the CBC cares about queer identities when it helps them make money (Schitt's Creek, Sort Of, etc). why do they not find it controversial when a prominent figure calls for trans ppl to be "taken care [of the way we used to take care of things in the 1950s or 60s"?

it is dangerous to wave away the anti-trans rhetoric of Kirk and his ilk as uncontroversial. the rights of trans people in Canada hang by a thread — reminder that the current leader of the federal opposition doesn't believe in trans identities

painting trans people as violent & dangerous is the newest tool of dehumanization used by the U.S. gov to sip away the rights of trans people. the white house is currently considering removing trans Americans' second amendment rights, further making them 2nd-class citizens

though the piece shares the number of trans mass shooters (5) by quoting the student debating Kirk, CBC fails to provide more info on ratio of trans to non-trans mass shooters. to those unaware of the vast number of U.S. mass shootings in the last decade, even one could be alarming sans context

in fact, the only time the CBC mentions trans people in the article is in reference to Kirk's exchange with a student seconds before he got shot. At the moment Kirk was perpetuating the claim trans people are violent, stating "too many" have been behind mass shootings

jesus, that's awful. i'm sorry Alex.

i'm surprised that's the treatment you got, while it appears (from the outside at least) that your colleagues on the Science Vs team did the same, and are the only(?) surviving Gimlet series. all due respect to them FTR! Reply All and Science Vs are both great!
