\u2018Deadnaming\u2019 Is Now Classified As \u2018Gender-Based Violence\u2019 In Liberal Canada<\/b><\/h2>"},"content":{"rendered":"

The Canadian government\u2019s \u2018gender-based violence\u2019 framework now treats public opposition to transgender demands as equivalent to physical and sexual harm.<\/h3>\n

(LifeSiteNews<\/a>) \u2014 Canadians have been reluctant to recognize just how much their country has changed over the past decade. Although Canadian Christians\u00a0are beginning to wake up<\/a>, there are still many who are persuaded that there is a ceiling to how totalitarian the Canadian government can get.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I heard from many, for example, who insisted that the Carney government\u2019s Bill C-9 \u2013 which removes the \u201chate speech\u201d exemption for sincerely-held religious beliefs \u2013 was \u201cfixed\u201d at committee when the Liberals\u00a0announced<\/a>\u00a0that their legislation would not apply to \u201cworship, sermons, prayer, religious education, peaceful debate, or even the good faith of reading and discussion of religious texts.\u201d<\/p>\n

However \u2013 and this is the important bit \u2013 this is only the case as long as people do not, in the eyes of the government, \u201cwillfully promote\u201d hatred against groups such as LGBT people.<\/p>\n

As always, the terminology here means everything. Many Canadian Christians might shrug and think:\u00a0Well, I don\u2019t say anything willfully hateful, and I abhor violence \u2013 so I\u2019ll be fine. My church will be fine. My Christian institution will be fine<\/em>. Perhaps. But let\u2019s take a look at what the Canadian government actually says about terminology directly relating to this debate.<\/p>\n

One example would be \u201cdeadnaming,\u201d a term invented to refer to using the previous name of a trans-identifying person after they have assumed an alter ego. An example of \u201cdeadnaming\u201d would be referring to \u201cCaitlyn Jenner\u201d by his birth name \u201cBruce Jenner\u201d \u2013 in\u00a0any<\/em>\u00a0context.<\/p>\n

On the Canadian government\u2019s official website under the \u201cWomen and Gender Equality Canada\u201d section, the government details its view of \u201cgender-based violence\u201d (GBV), gives tips on how Canadians can stop gender-based violence, and then provides some helpful descriptions of \u201cwhat gender-based violence can look like<\/a>.\u201d Some are standard and should not be controversial \u2013 sharing intimate photos, pressuring someone into sex, assuming consent, and controlling behavior, for example<\/p>\n

Then, the government lists \u201cdeadnaming<\/a>,\u201d prefacing examples of this \u201cgender-based violence\u201d with a trigger warning. The government presents the following scenario, and asks Canadians to identify it:<\/p>\n

Someone from your school who transitioned and now identifies as a girl has been posting about her journey on social media. People begin making negative comments about her appearance and deadnaming her online. When you mention it to a friend, they dismiss it as \u201cjust trolling.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So \u2013 is this \u201cgender-based violence\u201d? The required answer, according to the government:<\/p>\n

This is a case of technology-facilitated violence, where the person is experiencing emotional violence due to their gender, gender identity, gender expression, or perceived gender in the digital world.<\/p>\n

Deadnaming \u2013 using someone\u2019s former name without their consent and despite being advised of their true name \u2013 is a form of aggression that is demeaning and disrespectful, as it actively denies their identity.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Obviously, there is no good excuse for being a jerk online. But if you do not accept the fundamental premises of gender ideology and say so online, this, according to the government, is \u201ca case of technology-facilitated violence\u201d and \u201cemotional violence.\u201d The government advises Canadians to track cases of such \u201cviolence\u201d:<\/p>\n

First, you might consider talking to a safe adult for advice on how to proceed. If she is open to it, help her document and report what has happened. Keep a record of messages, usernames, and any other relevant information. Report harmful content to the platform where it is appearing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here, by the way, is the government\u2019s description of \u201cgender-based violence\u201d:<\/p>\n

While we often think of violence as \u201cjust physical,\u201d\u00a0GBV\u00a0typically falls into four categories: emotional violence, physical violence, economic abuse, and sexual violence. Emotional violence aims to harm the person emotionally by making them feel worthless, guilty, devalued, lonely, hurt, angry, or sad.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Again, notice that \u201cemotional violence\u201d \u2013 which could include publicly disagreeing with the premises of transgender ideology \u2013 is listed along with\u00a0physical and sexual violence<\/em>. One of the key vulnerabilities listed throughout the government website that indicates susceptibility to \u201cgender-based violence\u201d is \u201cgender identity or perceived gender identity.\u201d<\/p>\n

You may have never lifted a finger against another human being; you may never have engaged in aggressive or cruel behavior online. But nonetheless, if you publicly oppose aspects of LGBT ideology, you might, by\u00a0this<\/em>\u00a0definition, be considered guilty of \u201cgender-based violence.\u201d The government has not just legally redefined terms like \u201cgender\u201d and \u201csex\u201d \u2013 they have also redefined terms such as \u201cviolence.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is precisely why, despite Liberal assurances that Bill C-9 and other censorship legislation will not infringe on the fundamental rights and freedoms of Canadian Christians to articulate and defend what they believe,\u00a0they cannot be trusted<\/em>. Canadian Christians should not be lulled into complacency. Our religious freedoms are at stake.<\/p>\n
