    Yes, and do you honestly think it will stop there? Human rights in Canada are dead, and Trudeau killed them.

        The right to…checks notes…advocate genocide is dead and you think it’s a slippery slope?

        According to the left, the right is an active genocide against Trans and gay people. So no, it’s not a slippery slope at all.

        I think using the word genocide incorrectly should be punishable by prison; in return, we can imprison those who advocate for real genocide.

            And when those things are implemented, efforts to roll those solutions back constitutes “Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group”. And the right definitely advocates killing trans and gay people, as a component of genocide.

            Using the definition you supplied

            In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

            How are trans or gay people a nation, ethnic, racial, or religious group? They are not.

            As such, by your own definition, there is no genocide.

            he left’s response is to alleviate the problems associated with being trans and gay through medical intervention as necessary or even desired and normalizing the not-strange behavior.

            Medical intervention is legal in this country. The only limits are around children, which is consistent with the medical studies. You should trust the science. It is why Sweden put restrictions on children since the evidence isn’t there.

            And the right definitely advocates killing trans and gay people, as a component of genocide. No they don’t. Even if they did, per your own definition, trans people don’t fit the definition required for genocide. I always hear people scream the right is killing trans people, but I have yet to see the camps.

            Comparing the two just trivializes a real genocide. The holocaust was a genocide. The Holodomor was a genocide. Having someone misgender you is not genocide. It’s rude but it is not a genocide.

            That’s a legitimate violation of free speech. If someone thought that my use of the word genocide was applied incorrectly in this very response could lead to my imprisonment. That’s nonsense.

            Yet, the left wants to control speech. Ironic isn’t it? They just want to use words incorrectly to appear to be the victims. If the government tried to round up all the gay and trans people to gas them, I would be one of the first people to stand up to stop that. Until that days comes, we need to stop calling it a genocide as it enforces how nutty the left has become and it is offensive to people who have experienced real genocides.

                An ethnicity is a group of people united by culture (among other things) and, LGBTQ+ is definitely a type of culture.

                The Nazis were a culture, was denazification a genocide?

                No, while there is a subculture, they are not an ethnic group. Thus using the term of offensive to people who have been part of genocide. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnicity

                he left wants to expand or restrict what other words mean for various reasons.

                This was converted in 1984. We call it New Speak.

                  Which part of your link were you proposing supported your stance? Reading it, it seems to say the opposite of what you are suggesting.

                    It does not. Show my why official US document that shows ethnicity with a selection of gay.

        Free speech is dead in Canada. Guess what, speech falls under the category of speech.
