Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre stepped into the debate over trans rights on Wednesday, saying “biological males” should be banned from women’s sports, change rooms and bathrooms.
“Female spaces should be exclusively for females, not for biological males,” Poilievre said in Kitchener, Ont.
The Conservative leader made the comments after being asked if, as prime minister, he would introduce legislation to prevent “transgender women” or “biological men” from participating in female sports or entering female prisons and shelters.
“A lot of the spaces … are provincially and municipally controlled, so it is unclear … what reach federal legislation would have to change them,” Poilievre said.
“But obviously female sports, female change rooms, female bathrooms should be for females, not for biological males,” he added.
Are they proposing genetic testing on every live birth? You can’t really make an accurate biological determination outside of mandating it for everyone. Is that the best use of funds? Shouldn’t they just outlaw pregnancy instead to save money? Is Poilievre pro-extinction of all humans?
Don’t forget intersex people exist, and even more people with chromosome issues, upon whom genetic determination might be nuanced.
The real goal, of course, is to throw red meat to his base. Non-political casualties are unimportant.
