I recently came across several videos of Hans Georg Moeller. Although I got the reference from a leftist source, and there were no early signs to deter me from engaging with his work, I reach the conclusion that his discourse is detrimental to trans activism and unsafe for trans people. Disclaimer: I am no expert in his work, and I watched a couple of his videos. So take what I say here with a grain of salt, if you want. But I think that activists and trans people should be aware that this is probably a problematic philosopher, exerting some influence in leftist transphobe spaces. And in doing so, following the links to his videos provided none of the usual warnings and red flags that are present when entering critter territory. I would rather have people be warned that this philosopher if not "gender-critical" (which I believe) is "gender-critical adjacent", and this should inform whether you want to engage with his ideas or not (which I advise not). ... read full post

I think this is actually good news; it indicates that in the unfortunately likely event Canada has a conservative government next year, things might not get as bad for trans people as things are looking in the U.S.
I'm curious what this means. Will this retroactively apply to people who have already changed their sex? Does the government even have records of the sex change? Can you request they be destroyed?

A great video about how cis people should stop playing trans characters especially if the actor is the gender they are transitioning from not to.
